Making a 9n polo in to a trailer

[RITCHAT]

Hi

This is something that I have thought about many a time, especially after being at some of the vw meetings up and down the country and being able to see some that have been done.

I would be looking at taking a 9n that has been smacked at the front and remove the whole front of the car wings engine etc leaving just the main fire wall which will need alot of work done to make it acceptable to look at and water tight.

I am wondering if any body on the forum has tackled this and how much work is involved in getting to the finished article. I am a confident welder and time served for the mechanical work of which I feel will be minimal, just the fabrication side of things that will take the time up, something for the winter months this year I hope.

I would be interested in hearing from any one that has done this.

Thanks

Sandy

Seen this done to a Mk2 golf and 6n2 polo but never a 9n

I have never seen a golf but have seen a copule of earlier example polos one if I remember correctly was a g40 which seemed to be cut at the b pillar straight down. I am looking for it to be a bit longer and to look different.

Ah yeh, I've seen a mark3 Polo like this.

What do you have planned for the front? a straight metal sheet? Or some sort of glass/metal combo?

I am looking at having front end cut off so the windscreen will still be there but will be heavily darken as will all the windows. Planning on having as smooth a finish at the front as possible with the side doors being welded shut so the sides will be smooth as well. Probally won't get to start this toll next year at the earliest unless a bargain comes up as a donor vehicle. Ideally it will be in mercato blue metalic same as the car that will be pulling it.
