97' Polo Open-Air Project

Slow and steady at the bodyshop mans an awesome perfect finish! Can't wait to be building it to it's new glory haha. And I love the centre's, really good choice in logo. Well thought of

Cheers George, will be good to get everyone round and get the thing built back up and back on the road

Hahahha^

I late night session in the unit building up the monster sounds like a plan

long weekend next weekend... if it all goes to plan, could spend the full weekend working on it, getting it up to scratch

I've got a lot of awards to live up to

Went wild on eBay, bought more new headlights, spent over a tenner on some new genuine decals, new bulbs all round, plates.
Just loads of stuff to get it back on the road and tidy

Is it gunna be at the meet on Sunday???

Nope, it's still in the body shop, told him I'd rather he took his time with it and got it perfect.

Tell him to get it ready for Early Edition this year not next though lol

Oryt by the time you get it done cars with wheels will be obsolete! Haha

Good things come to those who wait

Picked these up today, courtesy of Jamie @ flock finishes. They're black 1mm flocked C pillars, he's also done the A and B pillars for me. Quality is top notch.
I have his details if anyone wants anything done.

Just yes!

Cheers Jonny, he does pink flocking if you want anything done?

Hmm maybe i should really concentrate on lowering my car first lol ;p

lookin gd m8 just took all my pillars and headlinin out me old bora to go in me new one so am lookin at gettin it done black and that looks like its been done well

Aye, Jamie doesn't fuck about.

Add him on Facebook, he's called flock finishes.

These are the headlights I've bought.
He also has the same front bumper as me, so it'll look pretty similar, however I'm thinking about running orange indicators and a badged grille.



Plus I think mine works with the bumper better as I've got flared arches and skirts to help tie it in.

Look good mate, hope it's all back together for the next meet!

Called by the bodyshop today as he told me that the prep work is almost finished and he's done some work on my custom rear bumper.
With the car having massively flared arches, the bumper never fitted properly, this has been sorted by flaring the ends of the bumper and putting in an extra piece to fill the gap. The car was then modified by moving the bumper brackets outwards.
This means that the bumper now meets the arches properly and there are no gaps!
The tow eye has also been smoothed off on the back and the bumper smoothed.




As you can see, the new boot lid is fitted and has had all of the little dents and damage sorted out, it's had its final coat of primer and is almost ready to go into the booth!



Getting there!

He's also got the rest of the car sorted, ready for it's final block back.

cant wait to get home to see these pics. (work pc's dont display them)

We might actually get to see the car before the end of time

Thats the plan like

Haha good man, I think you should put the engine in my lupo tho!
