Hi I know this isnt a Polo but thought I would share this with you.

I bought this car back in 2004 when I was 19 after my lovely manta A got written off by an idiot in a van.

found out I couldnt insure it even though it was the same engine as the manta. So sorted out the electrics as the car hadnt been on the road since 1984 the year I was born. lol so when I was 21 it was running and had MOT and I got insurance but a month later I blew the engine so decided to strip her down and rebuild her and here are the pics of the journey so far.

When I had her on the road in 2005

the LPG tank with custom rear interior

when I got her in my garage last year

striping down the paint to find that the whole car has filler all over her to get the shape and curves perfect at this point I was worried but found out they all have it but then I was left with the problem of putting the filler back.

a coat of undercoast to stop her from rusting

then I was lucky to find a very talented young man who could put the filler back and she is starteing to look good again

still got the door,back panel and roof to do.

I've got some welding to do and sort out the engine pay and inside.

so alot of work left to do but one day I will get there.

that looks like an awesome car. i've never seen one i dont think

you seem to have so many cars/projects going on! good luck with it

all these projects you must have some money!

like it btw
