lupoluke Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) Find my self coming back here more ofthen so thought i would pop a thread up (just copied from another forum mind) I did have a 6n after the lupo, but i hated it .Make: VolkswagenModel: Polo Match CoupeYear: 1994Engine: 1043cc 8vMods:Late spec tinted rear lightsDewipered rearLowerd 60/60Debadged GrillChecquared boot buildG60 steels with 165/50`sHeres a few pics of the mk3 i picked up today, wont be on the road for a while so i can have a play with it .Had a think about the car, and i dont really want to change much now, just clean it up really . Changed a vacuum pipe today and before i knew it i was attacking the engine bay with some cleaner and a cloth, heres how it is so far, unfortunetly 99% of the tools i needed i left at work so its not perfect just yet. Decided about 3 hours ago that i will be bringing the polo to edition, so got a bit to do in a few days. The cars suddenly developed a slight missfire, so just orderd dizzy cap, rotor arm leads, plugs. And while im there im goin to give it a full service inc all filters the previous owner said these was done how ever i very much doubt it. Also needs 2 tyres which i will get on in work tomorowGot a chip in the windscreen which should be sorted thursday an then a good clay and polish is on the cards . heres how shes sat at the moment. Removed the wheels ready for tyres and removed the horrid match badges and a few stickers. And got the polo ready for edition, just. Got the tyres and all service bits, ign bits fitted wednesday night. Got the windscreen sorted, and then went to start cleaning the car at 6PM on thursday night and the inevitable happened, a poxy wiring fault. After spending a few hours ****ing around i took the easy option and pikeyed my own loom and bypassed the fault. By this time it was gone 9 and dark, so just thought id give the polo a quick hose down. I thought it would be a great idea just to spray a little tfr all round just to get rid of some gunk, how ever i forgot to dilute it so it left marks every where, by this time im tired, its cold, and my car looks like ****. So phoned a mate up and went to KK car park where it would be light enough to give her a quick polish and wax and get some decent piccies. Finally got home at 1 am and that was that. Set off for edition car was flawless, untill the rear wheel bearings started rumbleing so ended up changing them at my cousins 200 miles from home, with tools that looked like they belonged to a bob the builders chocolate tin. And thats the story so far, heres some piccies . shouldn`t be to hard to work out where this is going (its a polo GT head and cam) And heres a pic of me the mk3 and a famous meerkat for good measure (i am aware i look a bit spac in this ). Future plans:More cleaning, smaller washer bottle and oem air box for the bay. Change or refurb of wheels.Hids (got them just need fitting) Fit the head and camAnd change back box as its ****ed .Change interior and get some decent ICE in.Comments welcome.
