Snow snow go away

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 to come and look at the Polo and give us a cost for the work needed. I’ve also got a source in Germany who’s supplying us with new widow rubbers all round with the chrome inserts and a front and rear chrome bumper.

On another note I’m also trying to make time to recondition the MK5 Golf R32 brakes I’ve acquired I’m going to take them back to the metal then I’m going to decide if I want to keep the silver which will be difficult to keep clean. Or spray them with textured black paint I’ve brought from Frost.

The Polo’s alloys and a set of Carlssons we’ve brought are now with Dav at PureKLAS so really looking forward to how they come back. When they do come back Dav’s taking my 19″ Audi A6 BBS split rims of for a refurb as well.

So all I want now is the snow to melt and the weather to warm up a bit!

Nothing to see here

Well it’s true almost. We are having a couple of weeks off the Polo mainly due to other commitments and the weather. But that hasn’t stopped work completely I’m still on the hunt for parts. Targets at the moment are window rubbers, we need a complete set of window rubbers for the MK1 Polo because ours had perished

We’ve both been on the hunt for parts for our daily drives as well. I’ve managed to pick up a set of front and rear MK5 Golf R32 brakes with carriers, calipers, disks and pads at a great price! Mark’s having a back box shipped from Austria for the Passat as no one else seems to have made one or have one in stock. We’ve also both been buying Audi R8 engine caps.

The next big thing for the Polo is the engine coming out on the 12th that will let us smooth the engine bay and get the car ready to have all the welding done.
