looks nice and solid. Ripe for a G40 project! nah, i leave the fancy engine conversions to Steve (86C), the piccie is taken beside his workshop. it'll get a tickle here and there and probably the brakes off my old 'rocco but TBH it's about done. got 2 T25s, a bug and half a baja* all to get sorted yet. *Tarquin Bevilastard owns the other half. |

sister gave it me when she emigrated.
AFAIK it did about 10k over 10 years
whilst she owned it, i used it for about
6 months then parked it on a neighbour's
drive for 8 months. put a new battery on it
and it started fine so i scrapped my 'rocco cos
i prefer to drive the polo.

very untidy interior piccie...  |

I had one on a c reg, brakes take a bit of getting used to but great car, wanted to keep and mod but gangly legs were too long, so had to sell to lesbiens instead! Looks like a nice clean example, thumbs up. tidy mods  O luggage space is tardis like too, only limited by imagination. |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

I'm not normally a fan of these, but I really like this one. The stance, wheels, arch trim combo and the white paint / black trim contrast works really well |

Nice example, huge potential! ;D
A future desireable VW i reckon......
Maybe it was just the ones ive driven, but are the brakes really bad on these???
The one i drove felt like it had no servo at all, scared the bejesus out of me!

i don't think they have servo's!  at first you keep more distance but you just get used to it and stamp on the brakes which is fine, but making it dodgy when you get back in other cars! Stamp |

Stamp Yep - no servo at all! The brakes are there - you just have to push harder. Nice looking Polo Guz - excellent. Even has the ellusive steering wheel that i'm after for the Derby  |

Very cool and very tidy. The early spec door cards are so functional ;D What size tyres are you using? I was thinking of using 45 profile tyres to keep the rolling radius the same (well, within a couple of %) but yours look like 65s  |

cor, loads of nice comments, cheers.
aye, you aint got a servo but i've
owned quite a few minis, after 10" drums
you love these, got the calipers from my
'rocco so might treat myself to drilled/vented
discs sometime, mate of mine adapted the
'rocco servo for his mk2, needs it with the skoda
1.6 engine he's fitted, scary fast.
IIRC the tyres are 55 profile, just a lil bit
too big but i love these wheels and the tyres
only rub a tiny bit, i'll swap 'em to 45 when
they need replacing.
we've gotta get round to making a trim for the
rear arch to match the front, could be fun.
it was a VERY basic C model when i got it,
there's been a lot of part sourcing involved,
big thanks go to Tarquin Bevilastard and his
missus for all the help getting it looking like this.
hoping to fit a mk1 golf centre console next, got
the 3 VDO gauges from a '90 audi too, should
look good if we can figure it.
