Polo 6n

so after lurking around on here thought it was about time i got a bit more active with the local scene, so what better way to start then with a project thread
bought it off ebay £630 84k on the clock, just needed new bushing sleeves and the tracking done pretty eventful drive back
95 vw polo L 1.3, no power steering, no central locking, Manuel windows but weirdly electric mirrors, and i absolutely love it
but any way, heres some pics
when i bought her




and how it is today




coilovers, 6n2 rears, de-wipered, de-badged grill,
wheels next im thinking porsche

going well mate looks cool keep up good work and keep us informed , porker rims you say what sort you thinking?

looks loads better now m8. thank god u changed those rear lights lol.

grill looks really smart on it

Loads better looking, will be good to see it with some wheels on, and yes really glad you lost the lights lol

yeah was so desperate to get rid of them i bought some valver lights before the 6n2's 3 sets of lights for the one car, light whore?

and for porky wheels im thinking cookie cutters (White lip, cc centre)

sexy just needs slamming

went to a car show so got some show plates =]
cant afford 3 points and a fine just yet still in my 1st 2 years of driving

plates look cool mate, ive never had any bother with my 'd' stamped german plates round skeg / louth way....... but who knows, ive always got the standard uk plastic plates to put on if they kick off... just pleed dumb if you get stopped... lol

we got them plates on the mk4 too... never had any probs so far either....

i got a £30 fine for german plates on my mk3 when i had it but only gave me a fine cause said he'd pulled me before for it but he hadn't so arguing with him about it probs dint help my case lol

cant ya get road legal pressed plates now? was thinkin of gettin some for my motor. obviously they'd have 'GB' instead of 'D' tho lol

yeah you can but gb font aswell and wheres the fun in that ?

I have an L model myself and thought it was a bit strange that you get nothing but leccy mirrors and a rev counter but hey ho. Just wondering how you de-wipered the rear on yours? I took the motor out and put a bung in the shaped plastic bit that sits on the window glass, but a few days later after banging the boot shut the plastic trim fell off, leaving a shaped cutout and a hole at the bottom of the window!

i took everything out including the plastic but the bung would stick on and silicone'd the blank over it and seal it all up

Ahh, when I did it I didnt realise the plastic bit wasn't secured, I thought it was already glued in or something. I'l just silicone it back on then

unloaded the car from yesterdays show
and noticed some bits
cracked passenger side indicator
crease in the passenger front wing tried to pill it out paint cracked and pealed
all this to go on top of the little bit of welding it needs underneath
starting to think it might be easy to get a newer one (same shape) in a nicer colour then just swap my bits over

some shots from a weekend away

cool pics mate!

yeh i agree

small update
picked up a valver splitter today for £1

had abit of a play with the camera today =]

nice pics again mate,what camera u using?

its a fugifilm s6500fd
basically point and shoot with more features like a dslr but has a fixed lens

i got a fuji digi cam,doesnt have many options but its quality when hangin out of my car window n getting motion shots!
