UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi,

wasnt sure where to put this but i thought i'd drop in n say hi on the mk 3 forum! (my favourite polo!lol)

technically i dont own a polo, but my missus has a mk4 1.4 8v that is continuosly falling to bits (technical section here i come! ) and i drive that from time to time when, in her words, she 'gets tired' (to blummin lazy to drive anymore!)

i live and work in sheffield n theres a spankin lookin G40 in black, tasteful bodywork mods n that that parks in the staff car park and i walk past it everyday thinkin....mmmm i want!

so am gonna do a bit of homework and maybe in a few months think about buying my first ever vee dub! house on the way so am kinda poor atm but eventually i'll scrape together some fund inbetween house and my 'other' project thats on the go!

but since am a veedub and polo virgin am lookin for any pointers atall really and to basically browse around n see whats what!

cheers

Ben

firstly welcome to the forum matey !!
if u ever have any questions then i'm sure there is someone on here that will be able to answer them for u!!

u should be able to pick up a pretty decent mk3 (i'm assuming thats the one u want ) for not too much dollar!
our resident mk3 guru is Pettsy and he has like 4 mk3 polos at the moment!! he always manages to find the bargains!!

enjoy ur stay!!

cheers fella!

yeah rekon i fancy a G40, dont do things by halves!lol

i need a run around aswell as i currently have a '94 clio 16v in piece and a williams engine in bits waiting to be rebuilt to go in it, as such it aint been on the road much and my current run about is less than inspiring!

Coops

welcome to the forum matey

Feel free to ask any questions, as Dan said theres normally someone who can give you a straight answer

The main problem with mk3's in general is corrosion - battery tray, and chassis legs are the main one. G40's, it's all about how well they've been looked after.
