Well the sanding is completed. Were just waiting for our body shop to come over and show us where they want the pannels cut for the new ones to go on.
We’ve started to clean the ziebart off the engine bay so that we can cut the rear tray out and smooth it all ready for [...]
Went up to North Wales to the All Types show. The weather was great the only things we forgot were our cloths and fire lighters for the BBQ doh! The party on the night was a good laugh but some people didn’t know when to stop drinking lol.
There were a lot of cars in the [...]
I’m still on the look out for a little 6n2 polo 1.4tdi. Isn’t it always the way that when you have the money there’s never the car you want available.
I was hopeing that I wouldn’t have to travel to far but it’s looking like I’ll have to increase my search area.
Well with the Beetle gone I’m on the look out for a Polo to use to run back and forth to work.
Ideally I’m after a Polo 6n2 1.4TDI for under £2000. There are a few about so I think it’s just a mater of finding the right one. One thing I do know is it [...]
Well with the weather as good as it was over the weekend I cracked on with the sanding. The roof is now down to the metal and this now leaves us with the bonnet, drivers side, tail gate and one door to sand. The it’s the engine bay were going to clean it all out [...]
Ok it was great to have a white Christmas and some time with the family but it does mean the Polo is on hold at the moment. All were able to do is continue to source parts and plan what we want to do.
We have managed to find a welder so we just need him [...]
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 [...]
Just a quick update after returning from Rayvern Hydraulics, we spent a couple more hours sanding the Polo. We are getting there slowly the roof is half done so we should finish that when we get back next week. After that the rest shouldn’t be to much, the biggest job left to do will be getting [...]
Well the metal!
We’ve spent another six hours stripping and sanding the MK1 Polo and it’s starting to show progress. We have decided to take the outer shell back to the metal so that it can have a proper job done on the respray and we can makes sure that there is no underlying rust issues. [...]
Spent most of Saturday paint stripping the Polo panels its hard boring work but its got to be done and once we got into it when it started getting dark at 4.30pm we didn’t really want to stop.
The horrid purple paint is comming off quite easy and once we have it all off were going [...]
