Hey peeps, been meaning to get a build thread up on here for a while..
Used to drive a Polo on Air ride which I ended up stripping and scrapping..
The old motor
The new but old replacement, car used to belong to Dips. After seeing the car at westside show in 2013 i fell in love with the thing and ended up being the new owner a year later!
For those that don't know the car here is a link to Dips' build thread on the car when he first bought
http://www.pbmwforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=16668 :thumbs-up:
So The journey of BMW ownership starts here :lol:
Since having the car few changes have been made , first one being the steering wheel. Car came with a tech 2 steering wheel, wasn't really my cup of tea. So a call to Jack at Royal steering wheels was made and well, the results speak for themselves :wink:
before
After
Soft nappa and perforated leather with M stripe stitch and padded up for a better feel :shock:
Next up was the seats. Sold all the bits out of the polo other than these..
Dropped the car off to Jamie at MooresMotors for him to fab up some bases and get them sitting right. Hers's the result
Completely changes the drive and are so comfy. The whole interior will be re trimmed later on so it all matches :thumbs-up:
Try to give it a wash every week if I get the chance :lol: some random pics
Spoke to Dips and had an idea of putting e46 m3 folding mirrors on, being Dips he had something in his archive of stock, he painted them up for me and we got them on. Bit of a marmite thing but, vision is fairly limited with the E36 M3 mirrors especially an estate, so they also have a functional reason lol.
Thats all so far, plenty of plans in place for this year so I will keep the thread updated as progress goes along.
Hope you like it so far :thumbs-up:
