Need some oem green tint door glass ASAP

more done last weekend.

Tim popped over for some soldering fun, then He and G wrapped the loom with some nice cotton tape.

also fitted one of the two arch liners aswell.

then this weekend we've been cleaning the interior, and the rebuilding it.

front seats we're looking like this before being cleaned

seats went back in on the nice clean carpet

]

Then the rear seats went in, also the arch carpet was glued back in, also rear door cards cleaned and fitted.

Then the car was wrapped back up till the next time.

thats all for now folks.

So more done today as the weather was good.

finished the front inner arches, strapped the roof supports in, front brake disc's changed for the old rear ones from the Passat. (thats how big they are)

Got the door windows in, standard green tint.

Also got the boot lock fitted and working, and then the rear newly tinted hatch glass in. It's standard green tint with a light smoke.

and the new front screen is here aswell.

Green tint and blue top tint

thats all for now

Was a cheap price dude, i paid £500 and got a £500 spray job if that makes sense, did all the body work before it went in so all them did was spray a bit of primer and blow over the red... its not as good as it would have been if i spent 3 grand but thats just obvious..... plus i do everything as cheap as i possibly can but the right way lol

may take you up on that dude, my mate is planning to put her bready on ebay for spares or repair so if i dont get the bits i need off her then i will be pm'ing you straight away!

:-D

So the roof lining has been cut made and fitted..... and abit more cutting and trimming...lol

But we got it in there in the end, only took 6 hours...... custom stuff eh....... who'd do it.

but it does look the mutts nuts.

It's perforated beetle lining in case you where wondering??

Then the rear windows went in. all tinted and shinny...... well until we covered them in fairy liquid to squeeze them in the car...lol

then in went the screen

once all that was in the temp roof went in, as the real one is still being trimmed

then a slight wash down with the hose to get the marks off from the days work..

still got a fair bit to do, But at least were water tight now.

just gotta get the starter on, so we can fire her up for the first time in 7 months...lol

love how your rebuilding this ground up katdog! proper minter, with no corners cut!

well nearly!

The roof lining was done for free so theres a bit at the back that wasnt sewn quite right so doesnt look proper pucker but I'm not complaining coz it was trimmed for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

absolutely great :)

i can´t wait to restore my coupe, but it´ll be hard when i´m unable to drive my polo

great progress, keep us updated!

well done mate, its soooo cloose now!!

thanks guys.... was very tempted to just say stuff it I've had enough due to alot of arguements with my Pops lol

But I'm glad i stuck at it coz she is better than i thought she would be, i will let you know the total cost of the respray and everything else thats happened since i started it in July....... that will be interesting lol

Britax roof!

Why on earth did i sell mine

How easy was it to fit? Actually, what car was it out of 1st?

I had one from a mini, the roof on them is pretty curved compared to the polo so the frame would've been a bit difficult to get in?

Its looking amazing though Kat, really is :)

Yeah its a Britex... well actually i think mine is something beginning with T but is apparently the same company as Britex....

anyway i dont know what the frame is out of but the temporary roof is from a mini van that my dad got out a scrappy years ago!

this roof is a bit tight and dont actually think it would be waterproof at the front atm coz its so tight but the new roof that I'm waiting to get trimmed will be retro fitted by my pop so it is water tight lol

Ok so the MOT is at 2pm today so finigers crossed it will pass!

Had to make a few temporary fixes to get it MOTable, for a start its got my Hornet door mirrors on as the mk2 ones wont fit with the mk3 quarter light windows... plus i hated the big ugly things anyway.... so she doesnt look a bit odd with retro CHROME mirrors haha

Will let you all know how she does

has it passed????

yes!!!

only problem is that I've found out that my speedo cable is shot and i have a leak either from the radiator or one of the hoses so am going to be popping over my mates tomorrow before her mk2 goes to the scrappy!

I hope that the mk2 speedo cable will fit the mk3 1.3???

Edited 2 April, 201016 yr by KatPoloMK2

No worries now peeps, found out why the speedo wasnt working..... it wasnt pluged in!

haha must have taken it out when removing the wiper motor lol

but do still need a radiator with hoses

anyways..

heres a little picture of what she looks like atm...

as you can see my bumpers are still grey.... i am waiting for a warm day when I'm not at work lol which is proving to be difficult so yet again i am playing the waiting game...

maybe tomorrow if the weather forecasters are right for a change?

Gorgeous.

liking the progress here. not too sure on the wheels though.

what steering wheel boss kit have you used? i cant find one to fit my mountney wheel
