| Time to do what i intended for this baby dub, as some of you know it looks like this at the moment...  now its in the warm and dry and looks like this....   as you can see its being stripped down ready for bodywork/paint... the engine will come out and get a proper clean, the bay will be cleaned and re-painted too... i have given myself 6mths to sort this polo out on a cheap as fcuk-budget so it wont win shows but i,ll be happy.... more updates in the weeks/mths to come | |

| I also really like rebuild threads, they show off the work and then lead you with anticipation to the final result and give us all a taster. This encourages me to do some work on my cars. Good luck and God speed my friend.  | |

| In that case you go florida and i'll go miami! big willy style!! There was an old golf+ article quite a while back with two mk1's - although one was the original audi. one was in florida blue the other in some sort of yellow. both looked awesome. There was a cheap one on ebay not too long ago - in ireland and didnt sell. will see if i can find the advert. it was like £100 cheap - perfect for parts. Got your pm - i will have a look and try when i get over there. will get on the blower to the ol man once he gets back in to belgium and he can ask some people too | |
