My rides.... UPDATE on the square 12.4.08...

Looking good

oOOh nice am sensing another cool polo here pete any sort of idea when to expect it out and about??

Be a few months yet, got a couple of hols in May, so will be after that, as funds will be short!

Jus painted the inside came out ok, good job matt paint is forgiving... looks a ghey orange colour in the pics, looks better in person....

Slight bit f arch work to be done.....



Got the rear finished just about...



Rim shot!

thats looking good dude...how wide are the rims???

Love it! I was unsure if the colour worked but i get it now. Ally-cats are are sooo nice.. make classics look boring!

The gun metal silver looks really nice againt the orange/red... i'd be tempted to mask off a pin stripe down the side under the swage line.. mk1 golf stylie

Cheers guys, rims are 8" wide all round and yeah the colour is jus red oxide, but its not as dark as I thought it would be, flash on camera isnt helping tho...

looks well cool be interesting to see how you combat the squarebacks straight arches

Nice one, red oxide is looking well. Love the allycats to death

Had a good day on the square today, van panels are in, smoothed and painted tailgate, and did on of the rear arches, looks like with some camber and stiffer springs I should be able to have it slammed with minimal scrubbing.

Should get engine on stand and cleaned up this wk end and whip head off ready for skimming, also hope to get both rear 1/4 finished and painted and poss roof too...

You have too many cars! I love the Mk2 on widened steelies.

the rear end suspension will have to be solid as a rock to avoid them wide boys scrubbing,looks mint though

i always wanted to do this to mine it looks ace...

just know it's gonna be cool

Looks sick! Now its a van.. a bike engine powering the rear wheels could be done and hidden...

forgot to ask whats the colour gonna be??

Lol, thats abit beyond my skillz! It should go ok with the 1.6 ABU and R6 carbs I have for it, a bump in C/R and a wild cam should sse it over 100bhp, and I plan to have weigh in at around 650kg....

Yeah, should be better when I get 2 or 3 degress of camber on there...

how are you going to put camber on the rear?

shims

i want shims.... are they on eGay?

You can buy em from Regal, the vauxhall tuners, and some other places too, think they are made by Eibach, bout a tenner a side...
