	Hi, New to Retro-Rides, spent a couple of solid weeks on this project now and have been documenting the thread, so there is going to be a fair few posts of solid content, and loads of pictures, so if your on a 56k modem please run away now Thanks Saf Model: X Reg 1981 Mk1 Polo LS Engine: 90k 1398cc 1.4 16v Head Schrick Fast Road Cams 42k 1598cc 1.6 16V Bottom End Lupo GTI 5-Speed Box with Cable Clutch Conversion Suspension: Fully Adjustable Front Wishbones Rose jointed Camber adjusting top mounts Strengthened strut tops Lupo Gti Front Shocks and Springs Mk1 Polo Steering Arms Lupo Stub Axles Powdercoated Rear Axle Mk1 Polo Rear Suspension - to be upgraded at some point Shell Modifications: Bulkhead removed Seam welded Modified Gearbox Mount for Lupo Gearbox & Retained Original Mount Blanked Rear Wiper Hole Spare holes welded up in firewall Heater matrix welded up Box Section Mounting Plates for Bucket Seats Interior: Koenig Fixed Back Reclining Bucket Seats Schroth 3 Point Harnesses with Safety Devices Pre-Tensioners Motorsport Fire Extinguisher Exterior: Pre 78 Spec Polo Flat Grille & Headlights Brakes: NOS Mk1 Master Cylinder Lupo GTI 256mm Brakes New Brake Lines 200mm VW Rear Shoes Wheels and Tyres: OZ Routes 14" x 7J 195/45/14 Hankook Ventus K102 Parts to get :- Rear Axle Bushes Larger Master Cylinder 200mm Rear Drums Handbrake Cable Braided Hoses All my welding was carried out by Gray & Dave from Retro Rides 07815 750 531 Based in Leigh. (Full resto, custom welding and mot work, basically anything) Really good prices Here's the car back in the day, 2 formor owners ago, and the man who comissioned the conversion into lupo gti spec by AWTracksport, they are based up in lincoln way, which is where the car was born, it still has the original dealer stickers, and keyfob in good condition, since then its been to preston and manchester I spotted it up for sale at &1500 quid on ebay with no bidders, full on sleeper spec as pics above with a full sd cage, emerald ecu and other goodies, however i bought this instead a year or two passed and i was finishing my last ever uni exams, and my side project (read: REAL disseratation =P ) was ready to go for its mot, maiden voyage was fine but the mot'rs were too busy to fit me in that day, so call back on monday. unfortunatly this happened on the way there =[ devvoed at the loss of my baby, i was after another project and i saw the polo come up again for sale, this time as a rolling shell, most of the parts had been sold off. at 400 quid i wasnt going to let the little car get away again, and popped up to see Trooper25 off Clubpolo in Preston who had bought it privately from ebay. After chatting to him, he had wanted to use the car for rallycross, but the low lying sump meant the engine would need to be raised dramatically to be even viable, so he had stripped the motor completely and started seam welding the shell & removed the firewall as well as drilling out the spot welds on the seat runners and removing them but hadnt welded in seat rails with box section yet. anyway he took a ride in a 205 gti mi16 and decided to sack off the poor little polo for something with real rallycross potential. so i got the shell for 400 notes with the subframe and custom modifications i then thought i should ask about the engine, is it still about, and his reply was you can have the engine and all the spares for 100 quid. SCORE! So I was a happy bunny, another project to sink my teeth into. I've done various bits on the car, wirebrushed and por-15d the interior, front and rear panels and engine bay on the hunt for rust and por-15d all the good metal after a dousing with metal ready, started building it the new rear axle to find some small holes under cracked underseal in the rear arches so I put a wanted up on RetroRides for some local welders these guys sorted me out a treat Gray & Dave from Retro Rides 07815 750 531 Based in Leigh. (Full resto, custom welding and mot work, basically anything) Really good prices retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=pfsw&thread=73142 anyway they carried out loads of bits for me box section for bucket seats rebuilding leading front edge of wing couple of peppered small holes in inner rear aches - which was going to be the mot fail that set me off on wanting to get welding done on her re-welding in of a mk1 gb mount as it was cut out when the lupo box was used some various other holes around the body blanking off heater matrix welded up the exhaust on my mk2 afh conversion made a few other custom bits for the engine conversions , I would fully recommend the guys so while the mk1 was away i was free to think about the powerplant, i always wanted the Polo GTI full lump and was going to wire it up oem but needed to many parts and i didnt want to overcomplicate things for a little lightweight blat about car. so then i got hold of some R1 ITBs with an inlet manifold for the engine, but that warranted for aftermarket management and mapping = mega money! I have another car, a yellow mk2 and i converted that to a 1.4 16v AFH and was running it on bike carbs, full thread here Conversion FAQI wrote up to help collate all the knowledge i'd gained through reading on the net, friends and some experimentation but i blew up the engine, bottom end was kaput, but the head and more importantly my shexy schrick cams were OK, so after reading about Jez's, Mitchells and others hybrid creations, i thought i want to retain the lupo block so i can call the car the lupolo, and by using an AFH head, i can use a set of bike carbs and a mk2 ignition setup which i have spare to get the engine up and running cheap and quickly in comparison to the steep start up costs of throttle bodies. anyway details of the new engine Mk4 1.4 16v AFH Head Lupo 1.6 16v GTI Bottom End CBR600 Carbs Schrick Fast Road Cams It will be running the lupo 5 speed gearbox, running a cable clutch conversion with the cable operated 5 speed shifted in the car I used an afh headgasket, polo aex headbolts, afh relay roller(modified) Note, 6n 1.0 AER & Non AVY GTI lumps have the correct length headbolts 6n Polo 1 Litre 036103384B bolt, with multi-spilne socket head M9X1,25X138 / AER,ALL Lupo GTI 036103384B bolt, with multi-spilne socket head M9X1,25X138 / AHW,AKQ,APE, AUA,BBY,AFK, ANM,AQQ,AUB Polo GTI 036103384E bolt, with multi-spilne socket head M9X1,25X97 / AVY The correct part from GSF is 01163 CYLINDER HEAD BOLT PO 1.4 AFK/AHW/APE/AUA/AUB Engines 99> & PO 1.0 AER Engine 96>99 £2.00 each and you need 10. the relay roller part number 036109244 the guys made me a bar threaded to 10mm at one end to fit into the block and 8mm to fit through the sleeve of the roller, it was impossible to drill through for guys with thousands of pounds worth of machinery so don't bother trying it at home, I'm glad I didnt bother! cambelt fitted and everything timed up, engine plate and alternator fitted mated to the 5 speed lupo gearbox disclaimer :- I've not ran the engine yet, so it may all end in disaster but no harm if it does, as if it doesnt, its going to be a little screamer will add some pics in a bit of the current state after welding when ive got the bloody bluetooth working on my laptop

	couple of updates, I've managed to pick up an M-Tech Automotive Megasquirt V3 Ecu brand new for 175 quid, This comes with the following: Megasquit V3 Ecu (With new case) Wiring loom Data cable Software The ECU is built to this Spec: V3 ECU 4x COP Ignition drivers GM Sensors VR Crank Pickup This is ideal for a Throttle bodies transplant for 8 Valve or 16 Valve non Turbo. It can run any 4 Cylinder by wasted spark/ or any 4 cylinder COP engine such as GTi6 if it uses a trigger wheel (either 36-1 for 60-2) so pretty much any VW, Ford, Vauxhall, Pug, Citroen etc etc I know the lupo has a 60-2 wheel so thats all good, will just need to go lop off all the connectors from a crash damaged loop or polo gti. also managed to get some schroth harnesses with pre-tensioners for 82 squiddlers that shall be finding there way into the car, would take pics but cant be arsed. they are similar in colour for the first blue which makes me sex wee everytime. and my potential colour choices

	Got a few things done today, Cut out the notchy bit on the transmission tunnel, so i can make a shifter template to make a base to attach it all up, nearly went deaf using the angle grinder in the car, ear muffs needed! Got the Hocks off and popped the OZs on, temporarily as i want to put the hocks on my mk1 golf shell which ive sold, and put the black lorbers with near new 195/45/15 eagle f1s on the loop while i find some 14 inch tyres or sell the routes. Also got a good gander at the hub setup, noticed there was an awful lot of play in the bearings inside the hub, it may be due to the fact theres no driveshaft in there, but I'm going to check the mk1 golf hubs tomorrow to check for thier movement inside the carrier. The mk1 Golf hubs will fit the lupo driveshafts, lupo struts and the wishbone ball joint. It will also allow me the hub carrier spacing to fit VWII Calipers, and a brand new vag mk1 polo master cylinder. Although i will only have 239mm brakes for the time being it means i can get the car running and mot'd and then find out if there is enough room to fit the mk1 golf servo and linkage with the engine installed. If not i will have to invest in a remote servo before i can run the 256mm brakes as the larger pistoned calipers means the pedal would hit the floor long before your brakes had any real bit without the use of a servo The balljoints look at a skewif angle which is in part due to it being jacked up at the time and i think with the engine installed more weight will be applied on them which will allow to sit true. hopefully also while having a wee smoke i made a list of some things to do but theres loads ive probably missed out. Stuff to do Stuff to get * Exhaust System * Seats * 14 inch Tyres Stuff to do *Braking & Suspension* * Fit New Master Cylinder * Fit Golf Mk1 Hubs * Fit VWII Calipers & 239mm venteds * Fit Braided Hoses * Make new solid brake lines from mc to regulator and front caliper hoses *Body* * Rust treatment on a few areas * Primer/Silver Paint * Waxoyl * Seat Runners *Engine* * Replace Bell Housing & Gasket * Change Gearbox & Engine Oil * Get a crane and fit *Shifter & Pedal Box* * Make Template for Shifter Base * Mount *Fuelling* * Fit Fuel Pump & Accumulator * Fit Fuel Lines *Megasquirt* * Read, read and read * Set Initial ECU settings for specified settings * Assemble Loom *Other Jobs* * Pedal Box Modifications - Cable Throttle, Push Pin Servo, Hydraulic Clutch (i think? ) * Relocate Battery to Boot * Fit Harnesses & Pre-Tensioner Relays * Fit Battery & Fuel Cut off Switches * Uprated Headlight Loom * Fit Ancillary Wiring Loom *Further Jobs* * Replace Bearings in Lupo Hubs * Make Neccessary adaptations to Mk1 Golf Servo Assembly to allow use of lupo calipers and rear disc conversion

	Had a bit of a chiller day at the unit, Rob was changing the hub over on his cabby for one from my red shell, which solved his humming niose thats plagued him for the last week or two. I stuck the lorbers on the polo and while the wheels were off sprayed the arches with metal ready. Plan for this week is to prep the interior, wire brushing it all and then getting some metal ready on it and lashing it all with por 15. then nnce thats done i can get the inner arches and engine bay sprayed up, Robs trying to tempt me to spray the whole car there while we have the whole car stripped so i reckon i could be tempted now to save fannying about later. Zee polo also met its younger sister too

	finished the last of the wire brushing of all the surface rust, although i managed to uncover a hole in the bulkhead so thats another wee job for when i can get someone who can weld round. holy moly doused in metal ready starting sifting thru the box with the mounts in, bit confused so have taken a picture of evertyhign laid out and will have to get in touch with dave (trooper25) and find out what everythings for And hoppys mini adventure collecting my new car, danke dude Right, the task was simple..........go to a local town 25 miles away, collect a car & drive it home................How hard could it be?? The ride Mk1 Polo, T reg with 895cc's of fury under the bonnet, full MOT & Tax. I was on time to collect the motor, made another Dub friend as we discussed the details of the deal, handed over some dollar for the car & drove away. I added £10 worth of Shell's finest petroleum distilate and .............................................. This is where it all went wrong. Seems as though the old girl wanted to suck up it's own faecal matter through the fuel line, causing much jumpyness & lack of power. After getting one tow from a friendly MK2 Golf Driver (with a full leather interior I add) and being towed to a garage I though every thing was fine. But another 2 miles on & things were serious. The lack of power & sudden engine dying made it impossible to be safe on the road without some one pile driving me up the ass :oops: So i took the decision it was too dangerous to continue, so pulled on over. So it was down to this; (Check out the AA man's face :lol: ) Whilst broken down, a friendly group of passing aircooled people stopped to offer a hand, which was nice. The result of this little meeting has found me another 3 local friends & another local meet!!!! THIS IS WHY I LOVE DUBS!!!!! Anyways. Journey should have taken about 40 mins, in the end too me 2.75 hours!!! Oh well..................still smiling Finally at home!!!

	yesterday we went down t hoppys go to pick up the wee polo, armed with some spare leads, a new fuel filter and some odd tools we were all set. got there and the old fuel filter was pure jank man so whipped that off and the rubber gasket that sits inbetween the airbox and the carb was slightly perished so we just bodged it back in place as best as we could. the wee beasty fired up after that, took it for a wee spin adn bar a knocking from a cv joint all was absolutely sweet. couldnt help but do my first bit of modding and ripped all the badges off the front. so off we went daaan to la pub, got there 5 mins before the uber food deal was ending, score XD got back to manchester safe and sound, so today i swapped over the wheels for the lorbers and changed teh driveshaft while i was at it for a spare i had, the outer cv boot on the passenger side has split which caused the knocking traveller'd earth strap, on the job list to sort out, the jump lead is connected to the battery earth :lol: couple of engine bay shots

	woke up well late today and couldnt really be arsed but after tommy made me a killer steak sammich i was ready to roll painted the hood satin black, and underside with por15 painted the front panel in por15 and decided to poke at some holes... bad idea! holy moly gearbox mount or this way and there are two types of clutch operations for the lupo engines i assume, cable and hydraulic. is this setup the cable and this the hydraulic? (which connects to another cylinder operated by the clutch pedal if so ill stick with the cable as it minimises the amount of plumbing, pedal box and bulkhead modifications, it just means i cant use the regular lupo gearbox mount in conjunction with this one unless i get one off a 1.4s that fits differently to the gti one it seems (after examining the one on charlies to the mounts i got with this engine)

	Well today i managed to angle grind away alot of rust and a stupid amount of filler on the rear bootlid, etch primed it then just slapped on 2 cans of satin black after keying it all. Could do with another couple of cans, so i will finish that at some point this week. The 4x4 look is comical but bar the tracking being out it still handles sweet as fook, however when the left front wheel hits a bump, rut or pothole the steering goes all over the shop so i suspect a worn balljoint, and i think the arb rubbers could do with replacing, ive not checked it but there is no doubt some excess play in it. If i can get some g-ladersiete bushes cheap ill do it. The steering rack on the other hand is tighter than a [ insert gary glitter joke here ] so thats schawibbady, just need to get rid of the wafer thin steering wheel. and a couple of shots of lupolo in the light
