Keep it up great work :-D should look great when all back the same colour

Looking good, can't wait to see this finished!

Ok so finally got round to sortin out the last arch.... its not completely done but as Tim still wants to do one last skim but its pretty much there now!

an engineer's eye in there too

Well yet again i have been a very busy girl.....

Last week all this happened:

and then this is what happened yesterday:

this was my drive way

and this how the polo stands today

:-D

looking good.

is that a riley elf with a webasto sunroof in the background?

*coughs*

No its a Wolseley Hornet with a britex roof

ah my bad, they all look like longer minis to me

ok more stuff has happened lately.

front of the car was cut off.

then the parts just swept to one side ready for new parts

new front end cut and played with to make fit

still needs to be welded in place thou.

few little rust spots found nothing serious thou

door removed to make way for new one.

thats all for now

Gets more and more serious everytime I look at this thread

How come you chopped out the front panel?

it got chopped off coz it was a replacement panel when it must have had a crash years back and they did a shite job of it...

the valence itself wasnt covered in stone guard when it was put on so had some really deep rust scars that would have kept coming back so ruined the point of a respray...

and the chassis leg had been whacked and was just filled so went all manky..... plus this one we are putting on is absolutely mint and will last another ten years :)

Looks top, alot of effort gone into it fair play! I would've just bought a new car lol!

Hey, so just spent at least 45mins reading through every page of this thread.. And I really cant wait to see more pics and hear more about whats new with your amazing polo!! It's looking so good.. I'll be watching this space

cool little project, loving the passat estate in pics

Nice work.

more stuff happened.

ok so paint stripper on the scuttle

then we had nout but metal

then we found this

so we're gonna cut it out and put a new bit in..

also the front end is on

wings are just placed on at the mo, as they need to be dollied..

boot lock removed

new one sourced and a bracket made up

1x hole made bigger

fitted pics later..

thats all for now

This is getting serious!

Good move changing the whole front end, I've had to weld a good foot of mine just under the grill along with other rusty dings. I resorted to stone chipping mine and painting it satin black to hide the blemishes. It looks like a mk2 golf like that (you can unbolt the front on them)

Are you using etch primer on the bare metal? or will it be ok for the respray anyway?

Either way respect and thats a posh garage!

filler primer will be used on the whole car, then will be good for paint

the garage is new, put up by me Dad

this is wikid, I'm loving the progress, also whos is the a-series!! i want i want!!

if you on about the metro, it belongs to me mate Tim who's doin the bodywork.

he has a build thread on retro rides.

My god, come a long way missy!!!!!

I need to head soufffff!!!!

yes....... yes u do Mr Hopwood

ok so got cracking with the scuttle over the wknd and this is what happened....

old nasty bit out

front panel welding all done and ready for sealer

so all the welding is done, so all thats left really is all the scotching up and roller primer......

and I've been told it has to be in primer by then end of next week!!

oh dear lol

this project rocks! Love your car!
