1977 VW Polo Mk1 (Derby) project

[sviddgummi]

Hey guys!

Just letting you know about my new project, a 1977 VW Polo MK1.
It has 125.000km to it - which is nothing for a 34 year old car. It has the 0.9 litre engine so it runs slower then a human. But it runs very well and theres not much problems with it.

The interior is perfect. No tears or anything. All that has to be done for it to be road legal is change the springs and brakelines.

This will be a stance project. It will be repainted, and restored. Low, with some really rare Reliant Schimitar 14" wheels with a lot of stretch. Coilover kit is the goal, and very low is the second goal.

Hope you like it

omfg. wheens bearings just screaming.

[sviddgummi]

Yeah I know - hehe.

The car is going to look awesome when Im done.
New brakes, springs, dampers, wheelarches, new paint, wheels and so on.

Going for polyurethan brushings to make it stiff as hell.

And maybe a VR6 engine because the 0.9 litre engine sucks :p

Got the car up to the shop yesterday and worked on it for a few hours.
Theres quite a bit of rust on the floor panel and front panel, but other then that its pretty good.

Heres a few pics.

wtf happened to the hood?

[sviddgummi]

Nice wheels

The hood was (Im guessing) an attempted rat project from the previous owner.

Today I got the bumpers all shiny after removing the paint. Got some more work on these.

Started on the only dent on the car today. I also got the key today after the VW dealer managed to make one from some numbers I had.

Starting on the rust soon. The car will be sprayed a silk white with silk black details.
