	Kinda Purchased this on a whim. My mate was gunna scrap it.....seemed a shame since it has Mot and Tax! Bought as a R-R 08 ride so we're in something retro(ish). Drive home has shown brakes are erm interesting. But it runs sweet as a nut and only has 49k on the clock!! Plans are to get the brakes fixed and then who knows......but -90mm is almost definite ;D Few crappy pics: Overall I'm most pleased!

	Mud flaps are going but I think we'll be keeping the "coach trim". I'll check which dealer its from. Only mods planned so far are a healthy slam. And prolly some wheels.

	Don't ditch the wheels, I think those 'Hockenheim' rims are pretty cool! What's it like rot-wise? Looks tidy enough in the pictures.

	Bit round the front of the wings and the strip under the lights but apart from that all looks sound as a pound. My old one, which I'm fancying making this one look similar to, but tidier: Lord I loved that car!!

I've got an MH in my mk2 golf, goes pretty good also... If you use the Polo GT cam and an electric fuel pump ( no fuel pump lobe on those due to FI ) really wakes them up apprently.. and the inlet manifold that matches the size of the cylinder head helps too.
