project polo stage 3 56k'ers beware
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 7:40 pm
Right, had the polo in a barn for a lil while now, meaning i could work on her easily and i had electricity and water at hand. I decided it would be cheaper for me to prime her instead of apply an undercoat of black so thats what i am doing. Feedback appreciated.
pictures:
Mah anchors
ooooh... shiny
the sill that has been the bane of my life since febuary
Front end bumperless but with new bonnet... hooray
missing drivers door
rear end
The finished side apart from the roof
more shiny things
the unfinished side
So thats basically how its going for the mo, as soon as that sill is welded up then i am going to get the wing, drivers door and bumper back on and finished ready for the respray which will probably be in the summer.
Next things to get done are the DTM wingmirrors and beesting aerial, then after this i will get the rear bumper and have that ready.
I have made up a final spec list for when she is completed

All trim removed
Interior
MK3 G40 interior

Some speakers in the front and 2 in the shelf (not decided yet)
Club polo/porka stickers
VWMotorsport stickers that came with the car that i cant get off
A ally tax disk holder that came with the car
A new gearknob gaiter (dont know what yet)
Shiny gear knob
Headlining sprayed black
Chassis
70MM Jamex lowering kit
Uprated ARB mounts
Powerflex bushes
239mm vented front disks with braided hoses all round
Some form of strut brace
Rear chassis stiffened (bar welded onto rear beam)

New gaskets all round (/\ /\)
