UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

well, the work is progreesing slowly since I just bought a 93- polo fox also, but I have got some welding done, and the engine is assembled, washed, sandblasted and painted..

I am from norway, end I am building a 1976 polo to be used on racetrack-days. It is supposed to be hardcore racing exept from the outside, which will be old school. I wanted to build a differen engine, and decided on using a 3f engine from polo 2f with 75hp. I have bought a set of 4x32mm motorcycle mikuni carbs, and have started the process of building the engine as it is winter..

the question is if anyone of u has pics. or any experiences on this area ? please be in contact..



thanks

what have you done to the engine pwerformace wise?

it is a hydro 3f engine with 75 hp. With the 4 motorcycle carbs, the new exhaust manifold and a cam, it will be doing 90-100hp.. Nothing too big, but good enough to have fun

I need one thing now that I have started building again: has anyone of you any pics of anyone that has mounted the battery in the rear (spare wheel placing) ? I have got my one idea of how I am going to do it, but would be nice to see anyone elses work

things are finally happening.. Ill just give you the pics.. only some rust left on the front plate now.






things welded theese last few days:









And some ideas for some mods I am going to do..

Looking good mate, keep the updates coming

things are moving forward.. I'll just let the pictures do the talking

ey, guys.. I need som help from one of you that lives near the area of kent and maidstone. I have to order some parts and get them transported about 20 km.. Is there anyone that can help me with this ?

well, the battery tray is complete.. became f*****g good







I have also treated the complete underside of the car with coating.. the next step within the next day is install the fueltank, rear beam and sidewings.. I have also gotten a deal with a friend of mine so that I can sandblast the engine room and the inside of the floor.. It is lovely to see some progress finally..

hy mate, haven't heard for a long time
nice to see progress on your polo, you're doing it well! love your battery tray, I'm thinking about something similar on mine, but perhaps more forward, under the rear bench, where the reservoir used to be (plan to put battery on one side, and smaller reservoir on another)

cheers

the last pictures of my polo before being put away before the winter.. sandblasted and ground coat is on.. looking forward til next summer.

Got something in the mail from wiechers.de today I just love german perfectionism..

cool

i would love to do this to mine but car is too MINT to do it

I know exactly what you mean If it aint broke, dont fix it
