	You're better at filler than I am! Although it may have had something to do with me using filler older than I am when it was 5degC and quite damp!

	retrolex said: Nice topic. We're kinda in the same boat here, except I have a Mk2 Golf, not polo I am gonna do my first bit of filler soon, once I've sorted my waterproofing out Is it easy to use? I got a LOT of things to fill in... Yea was a lot easier then i had expected. just take some very low grit wet n dry to the surface before, i used 80 for like 10 mins, to get as much bare metal as possible and if its a whole for badges or wiper like that just tap it with a hammer so that there's a dent. that'll allow the filler to grip without having to have a build up on the inside of the hole. other then that follow the instructions your giving and its a doddle. locoster said: You're better at filler than I am!

	Possible Sale E plate Vw Polo C Squareback. [First Registered 02/01/88] Located in Welling,Kent. Very close to the A2. don't know postcode as its at my nans. Kind of regretful sale I do love the car but the time and money it consumes is too much, and I can no longer justify it. The Good -Starts and runs first time -Very solid -Minimal surface rust [ive been attacking this since I got it] -G40 front seats -Comes with partially fitted mk3 dash - and a mk2 dash. -5 steel wheels with fair tyres [I'd change these as I don't know how long its been sitting] -Comes with yellow headlights -Comes with Kamei eyebrow The Bad The car is a project car and does need work. -Needs a track rod end nut on the n/s -Needs a petrol cap as I have no key -Needs an exhaust system fitted -Some fillering has been done to the boot on a rush job as I was told it was going to snow and rain and I rushed the boot to make it waterproof as it has started rusting. -It looks like a deranged cow. -No roof lining/carpet [nicotene stains] -no rear interior -no dash clocks -unknown mileage due to broken clocks -no s/h I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but as said it does need work to make it perfect. I beleive with the track rod nut and an exhaust it would pass MOT but I don't know this for sure Pics I have hundreds more if you want them. For a full build thread see here retrorides.proboards86.com/index.c.cgi?board=readersrides&action=display&thread=1190749429 Looking for around £150 which I feel is a very good price. ALSO For a little extra I will include -a rev counter and volt meter in a twin pod -Vw locking wheel nuts And I also have 5 ATS cups 14x6 Paid £200 make me an offer around that and they're yours. Will sell with the car for £130!!!
