ok no updates for a while on this one,

so here goes..

between the engine gettin put in and now...

the car was dented, repaired....ish...

front indicator side lights wired in, with led side lights all round.

also tried a set of castalettes on her to see what i thought..i liked...

and also ordered a set of Spax inserts for the front shockers to stiffen them up.

and a set of retro fit coilovers.

these will all be fitted this weekend, so the car will hopefully have new nose dive stance, like a hot rod or air cooled machine.

@KatPoloMk2.

Your Polo GT Breadvan looks great. Good work.

Greetings Marius

oooooooo like the new wheels kat!

video is pretty well put together! castalettes look pretty sweet on the bready aswell.

Very good vid there :-)

Liking the look of the stance too, unsure about the castalettes, I think they look too clean!!!! :-0

How good is this looking eh Kat? Bloody brilliant! 8-)

Love the pic of it in the petrol station, looks right moody! I'm really liking the Castalettes too, they fill the arches just perfect. Dunno which I prefer TBH?

Got to be one of the best practical mk2 Polo Breadvans on here. Looks great - the best shape Polo ever don'cha know?! - (plus mine's red too!), drive's great, with good performance, economy and sensible mods. Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! 8-):thumbsup::thumbsup:

lol wow thanks for the comments guys and breadman...... u havnt seen the rolling road print out yet.... best power to rate ratio of the day was the polo and that was against a 240 bhp rallye, a passat g60 syncro, a mk2 golf vr6 and a few other mk2 gti's hahaha.... awesome no?!

i will a get pic of the rolling road print out just to show u lot that miles mean jak on the performance of an engine, the gt lump is almost at 150 thousand and still pulling strong....

and hoppy i have plans for the castalettes... watch this space!

Pics of the new stance up tomoz hopefully but its not too noticable imo

:D

Wtf? Is it a gt engine still? What power/weight is it ?

looks awesomely clean though! 8-)

Yeah its still a gt engine lol but the other cars weigh so much i guess

anyways, got some pics of the rolling road

Worked out the polo's got 70 horses at the wheels and about 90 at the fly, not bad at all for a standard one aye!!

But no pics of the new stance as of yet, my driveway was packed with 2 pre 1950 motors, 2 caravans, 2 audis, a polo a bmw mini and a caravanette and only 2 arnt the households lol so cudnt get a decent pic....

plus i didnt get the chance to clean it so maybe tomoz depending on the weather!

Looks awesomely clean 8-) about 130/tonne then!

but there's no way it's got a higher power to weight than a 240bhp rallye, unless he's carrying 500kg ballast lol.

They are damn heavy, same as the passat almost and i guess the other thing that helped is that the reading of the rallyes one was wrong coz the passat broke the rollers before the rallye lol so techically didnt have a proper run haha.....

I just hold on to the fact that out of the cars that had a clear run the polo had that best power to weight ratio lol :D

2 Audi's on the drive then???

Sounds like there has been a new purchase???

It was originally from a mini and found in some guys garage.. probably older than i am so it was obvious that it needed a clean up
