xkarinx Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 As some of you already know, I picked up a Lupo last week The Polo's coming off the road for winter in a few weeks so I've been looking for a cheap daily. Ideally I was after something that needed a bit of work to keep me busy and this came up for a bargain price which I couldn't say no to.The plan is just to tidy it up and run it as a daily, so no massive plans - need to stay focused on the Polo! Thought I'd stick a thread up anyway to show my progress Anyway, here he is... a 1.4s in Jazz Blue btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xkarinx Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Spent some time down at the unit today getting started on it. The interior is pretty grubby, so took it out ready for a good clean. Just need to get the wet vac down there to get it cleaned upThought I'd start getting the engine bay cleaned up too.Before...with it's lovely panted bits They look a lot worse in real life hahaI repainted the manifold cover as the shiny black wasn't doing much for me.BeforeAfterAnd the engine bay as it stands now. I've put a new engine cover on, and I've got a spare airbox and HT lead cover still to go on too. The pink can stay for now hehe. This will get changed eventually too thoughMore to come soon...

xkarinx Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 It's been a while so I thought I'd update with the few changes I've made.I swapped the rear view mirror for a black oneI put the BMC on and stole the cold air feed from the Polo so my engine bay's a bit mis matched at the minute I will change the silicone hoses for blue ones at some pointLupo GTi wiper arms and wipersBeforeAfterStarted painting my vents. I've gone for graphite grey rather than the usual gloss blackI've only got one in so far as the others aren't finished. Will hopefully get those done tomorrowI'm planning on doing the headlining in grey too, and possibly new interior if anything cheap comes up And just for the hell of it, a couple of pictures I took the other weekMore lows to come soon, I've got way too much ground clearance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
