Joti Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hehe, just thought I'd share this with you - the car that first got me into proper modding (chose a Polo as a tongue-in-cheek statement as no-one ever did anything with them!)I got this fully resprayed in Ford "juice green" and fitted Borbet T alloys. It also had a Momo racing wheel and drilled aluminium pedals.4 speed and 40BHP I sold it back in 2002..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSloanes Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Would be gorgeous if it was dropped. Looks like a monster truck up that high lol. Nice and tidy tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joti Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Well, it's been over 10 years since I got rid. Believe it or not, even at that height, if I had 2 passengers in the car, the wheels would rub on the arch on the offside rear! It was like a sidecar - I remember getting my mum to lean the other way on one journey round corners, and she is only dinky and 5'1"...... Being a basic 1.0, it must have had really soft suspension!

VR6_K Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 My step sis has one of these mk2 bread vans. Her's is pretty mint. Im not to sure on that greeny blue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joti Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 By the green/blue - you mean it's original colour? That was called Jade Metallic. Did not care for it much either, that's why I got the car re-sprayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR6_K Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I mean this colour, I prefered the original. but apart from that, it was well modded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold it in 2002 to some dude who came all the way from Coventry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thooooom Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Being a basic 1.0, it must have had really soft suspension!i have a friend with a 1.0 polo breadvan, and the suspension is like jelly! it scrubs at standard height everywhere.

Joti Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hehe - tell me about it. I had to pick up a garden bench from a local garden centre once. Got it in the back of the Polo (which surprised me!) and then the 3 mile drive back was murder - tyre was rubbing on the arch all the way!!!By the time I got home my car had a lovely smell of burning rubber inside it, and the tyre itself was warm enough to toast a sandwich!

Im actually fitting a 60/60 kit to my friends breadvan tomorrow, so that should be interesting! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joti Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Good luck with that! They seem to be fairly rare now - just had a quick gander on Auto Trader and not a single one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
