Open Heart Surgery on the Polo
Sorry for the delay in updating the blog just been so busy!
Anyway last Saturday was the big day for the engine coming out. After spending an hour rebuilding the front of the Passat, Mark had installed new headlights and it was a bigger job than it looked. Then we got the engine hoist delivered and moved on to the Polo.
It took us about an hour and a half to disconect all the pipeing and linkages to the engine but once this was done and the manifold was dropped out the bottom of the car, the engine lifted out with ease. Now thats in storage ready to be stripped cleaned painted and polished ready to go back in once the cars been repainted.
Now we can start cutting sanding and smoothing the engine bay. So were on the final push on the prep work we recon its going to be mid January that the polo can have the weilding done.
On the plus side Dav at PureKLAS is taking the Polo’s allys away to be stripped and polished cant wait to see them finished!
