	A thread dedicated to my current projects(mainly copied and pasted from various forums) After scrapping the black breadvan and selling my 1043 genesis coupe with head gasket gone I managed to find a 1.3 5 speed Genesis coupe. I'd been driving the coupe for a month when I spotted a saloon on gumtree for £250 with a couple of months tax and test. The photo was a stock image of a mk2 but I knew it was going to be a 2f/mk3 as it stated it was a '91 in the advert. Driving up the next day to pick up the car I was hoping for a more exotic colour as I didn't know what colour it was at the time, needless to say I was sorely disappointed to find it was bloody silver like the polo I'd turned up in. Anyway here's some photos of the previous Polos leading up to this one. The Bready, The low mileage (43000) coupe that died after a couple of months. 1.3 mpi And finally my 4th polo in the space of 3 months the saloon. Absolutely loving having a boot, Just think the car looks so 70's from the rear... Or is it just me?

	Finally got some arch covers sorted for the rear, they'r from a mk2 saloon and are very slightly different but still look alright. Tried some traveller repairs on the exhaust as it was blowing at the flexi pipe, seems to have worked. Tiger sealed the arches too. Used some Kurust then painted the crusty arch to try stopping further corrosion. Also fitted a mk2 Golf splitter Clamped up for 15 hours Now solid and looking much better.

	More photos. Plans for this car are to fit a 2.5 and strip the interior. I'm not that keen on red so I might gave a go at painting it.... Blue with a paint roller. The current engine is going to be fitted to an old rough touring destined for the scrap pile...

	Update, The IS should be getting the engine from this shiny bronzeit. We are going to tackle the engine swap by ourselves. The Bronzeit will be getting the engine from my touring, the touring will get the IS engine and the IS will get the bronzeits engine. As the touring is in the garage the first task is to remove the engine from that, then remove Mikes engine and put mine into his car, I have until the mot runs out on the IS to remove the engine and stick it in the touring. Sounds complicated but in my eyes is the best solution, I'm sure some of you will disagree, I don't know what you've been told about the touring but it is fairly solid and provided it doesn't blow up or set its self on fire I'm sure it'll outlast the IS. Here's a few more photos taken after we put the original diff back on it. 2 non sunroofs eh? So whos car looks better?

	Did a little work on this today, the pads were getting a little thin, Took the discs and pads from the touring, Pushed the pistons in with tesco value g clamps Took some art fag photos Job done! Also gave the Polo a quick clean and admired how much better it looks with those rear arches fitted.

	I like your Polo saloon, the arches and colour coded grille really look good, almost makes it look like a different car. It's only the second 2f saloon I've ever seen so I'm guessing they're pretty rare.
