Randy's blue 6n2 (paulina the polo :P)

Post by randell6n2blue »

well after many attempts ive finally got an account club polo so boring so ill just copy and past everything on to here :)





heloooooooooo dubbers ....just a little something showing off my little polo which i bought in feb 12 with : blown up engine, gearbox with broken 5th gear, broken windscreen, no tax and no mot. so i was pretty much starting from scratch so heres a few pics of what I've done so far :)

how it was when i first got it

Image

i tried to find the over heating problem but in the end i decided to go for a new engine and gearbox so let the stripping begin :)

Image

a day of hard work and i got it all out on my own :thumbup:

Image

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

the next day i got the new engine and box in, only had to do the gear linkage which i needed help adjusting, new oil and filter and then soon for a start B)

Image

just to show the 2 days of work i had

Image

now this is where every one is fooled instead of doing a straight swap for another 1.0mpi engine i decided to got for a 1.4mpi engine. only 10 bhp difference bt hey every little helps :) here she is now in and running

Image

got some temp replacement shoes as well

Image
Image
Image
Image

hmmmm wonder what this cheeky button does :p

Image

not bad for pound land spray paint :) aslo need to get that nasty dent sorted and petrol cap (bought it like that)

Image

another after a fresh wash

Image

:(

Image
Image
Image

well wanted these but decided to let my mate have em instead

Image

would look way better on mine dont u agree

Image

Image


had a little asda carpark shoot with my mate ben

Image

Image

Image


Image

talk about hight difference

Image

Image

Image

Image

exhaust was blowing so out came the tools

Image

ended up getting bored and making a side exit .... way too loud tho !

Image

Image

out for a random cruise with the dubs

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

MAJOR UPDATES COMING SOON SO STAY TUNNED FEEDBACK WELCOME :)



not as low as i was hoping for but it will do for now, here are the pics :)


before

Image

during

Image

after

Image


Image

Image

Image

the ride was horrid and the back was sitting way too high so next day i took the bumpstops and helper springs out still abit high and bumpy but major improvment

Image

after a month of neglect i decided shes deserving of nice wash :roll:

Image

Image

Image

shiny :-p

Image

need to sort out the low hanging exhaust

Image

Image

stickersss

Image

Image

made a little water pistol

Image


got a 7 hour round trip to do on saturday with bouncy coilovers to collect the new wheels because courier wanted £140 to deliver them.......... anyone know of any cheap courier services to save me the back ache?

Image


next things on my list are : new headlights, 3000k h.i.ds, full gti grills including fogs, gti splitter, central locking kit with alarm, electric windows, all black interrior etc etc.

Ended up picking my new wheels up today instead of saturday. But I'm comming to the conclusion that these coilovers have to come off its so anoying bouncing about because of the slightest bump in the road. Wish i bought new ones instead now what a waste of money and its not even sitting that low think all the shocks my be fuggered !!!!

well had a near death experience, went to the scrappy to try fix my mates crashed 206 ended up getting squirted in the face with air con gas. now being a trainee mechanic i know this is poisonous but i didn't get any side effects straight away, ended up being rushed to hospital the next morning for collapsing after daggering pains from my chest, found out there was a problem wit my lungs causing me to struggle to breathe bad times but I'm all good now so time to resume work on the polo.

stand rear struts back on and got a petrol cap for free (which is only fair considering one of your cars nearly killed me)

Image

Image

body shop took too long with my wheels and the white ones had incredibly bold tyres to steels are on :( feels better to drive tho

Image

started to sand the wheels down myself rele not having fun its only took the first coat off so I've been referred to the paint stripper department, all this just to get a polished lip. was going to rattle can them but when all 4 is prepped for painting ill just take them back to the bodyshop hopefully wont be long till there on :)

Image

Image

Image

Image


Image

Image

Image

loads more updates soon missed all the sunshine due to work :( hope theres some more so the fibreglass can come out to play ;)

so this happened

Image

for me to do this

Image

trying to sort my wheels out was a massive fail so i found another body shop and get them back freshly painted tomorrow :) but heres my attempt

nitromors at work did nothing !!!!


Image

Image

Image

trial fitted some wheels and hated them .....

Image

Image

Image

got my little collection coming along

Image

Image

big updates over the weekend hopefully everything goes right


finally some progress made

some of this

Image

Image

Image

standard vs 3000k

Image

Image

Image

thats just the toys i got myself for my birthday now to some body s**t

started to do some smoothing

Image

Image

improvement lol

Image

tried to do a polished lip with yellow inserts but as youd imagine it dint rele go

Image

Image

Image

Image

hated it so i got some colours made up :)

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


now for the mechanical stuff project pedal box -_- i never and i quote NEVER want to do another one of these in my life time such a headache !

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

this is what it should be welded like VW watch and learn !!

Image

Image

Image

spotted this out likey likey

Image

Image

ive rattle canned the bumper because having a 2 tone car was a tad anoying its only temp as it looks crap

updated to come

.cambelt possibly way over due
.get the 1.4 ecu,keys,clocks,ignition barrel off the car i got the engine from
. sounds like a waste but im ither going to get a 4-2-1 and cam to improve performance/make louder noises/ massive flames or sorn the car and do ither a 1.6 16v / 1.8 20vt conversion
. new coilovers and lower profile tyres
. smooth rear bumper
.toying with the idea of getting it completely wrapped as there is various bits of lacquer peel :(

thats all i can think of for now as its 4:41 am -_-

Total waste of money for a crappy car-engine.
You should have bought a GTi right from the beginning.
Sorry for being mean but it's just my honest opinion.

See i would but having a revoked licence i had to redo my test with 6 points so insurance arent gonna be very kind to me are they lol besides whats the point of buying something already done when you can have more fun building it im a mechanic so thats my theory :)

If you convert, you are better off buying damaged gti, cos you need more than the engine mate, then sell rest of parts on to recoup money. mine started as a 1,4 8v, and as you said more fun building it.

Mine started as a 1.0 8v bought it completely f**ked nd put a 1.4 8v in there still running it off a 1.0 ecu so you can imagine how dodgy that is lol ive been looking everywhere for a crashed gti but no luck so far :(
