	There she is! Not seen this car in years. There used to be a site... polov8.com predictably, but its gone now. However, from googling said URL... I found this on yootoob: [/img] Pretty popular idea!

	£10K, blimey. The V8 one up top is offers based on his valuation of it as being £2K worth.

One thing I have come to realise is it doesn't matter how well built, well thought out or whatever a car is when it comes to sell it. The time, effort and money you put in will not necessarily come out the other end. Its whether the market supports that value on the car or not. I can see how you could quite easily spend all that and more on a Mk2 Polo project, and that getting these things "right" is time, effort and money almost without measure. If it were a Golf Mk2 I could see it selling for £10K in a minute. Just not sure if Polos have the ££££ appeal was my only comment.
