After doing a little research I have found that yes it is a polo on a beetle pan. It is running a beetle engine but I am not sure if it was driven there or what. Apparently the guy who built it got the polo of a friend after he smashed it up and instead of scrapping it decided to have a little fun.

It was built by Rolo in under a week, its not finished yet but from what I was told he is looking to get it road legal. It turned up at gti fest on the back of a flat bed and was towed around the site, apparently the only thing stopping it from being driven is that it still needs things like the cables making up for it. My phones playing up and taking ages to load pages but once it sorts itself out i'll find photos of some of his previous projects and post them up  |

why did I have the feeling that "slightly lowered" meant slammed to deck  if he can get that road legal it will be pretty cool for sure |

whoever said dogs were man's best friend....obviously never heard of cable ties

Loving the cornet/French horn/woteva on the mk3... ;D Pretty sure it's a euphonium. This is a phrase I have never used before on retro-rides, and that in itself has made me glad I looked at this thread... As for the Polo: pretty sweet. It would be ultra-cool if he can get it road legal, and I do love the pin striping. |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

hope he didnt waste a SOLID mk1 for it. It does look relatively solid in the 'usual places' concerningly enough   and it's an early one as well |

No reason it couldn't be made road legal without BIVA assuming the beetle chassis hasn't been cut and there are enough original components to retain 8 points. It would just need the rebody declared and an ID inspection as a radically altered vehicle. It'd retain the beetle ID. Awesome  |

I do hope that at some point someone will do something similar with a Beetle floorpan and a Saab 95/96. ;D

Not overly keen on it as is but having sold my mk1 Polo yesterday I'm still hurting a bit sad times. Boo hoo, sad news indeed. On a lighter note did I see you round the back streets from Blendon in a e36ish bimmer? Liking the beetlo, the biggerer beetle wheels help with the silly low look. Is floor pan changing not considered cutting of mono cock? |

Is floor pan changing not considered cutting of mono cock? Not if you're using the separate chassis and running gear of a beetle. It's a rebodied beetle, not a re-floorpanned Polo. By VOSA's rules, there are zero 'points' of a Polo in that |
