Sam's build thread



The story of this build thread begins with the demise of the car that I've had for the last 3 years. It was rear ended by a landrover who's texting pilot never even touched the brakes, hit me at about 50kph and sandwiched me between it and another SUV. Bent chassis rails that caused the rear quarter ripples and all the other damage meant that it was written off.
So I'm now the proud owner of two silver Polo's, one's a wreck in the garage and the other is Seangti's old daily. Between the mods/bits that were on my car and a few bits that are on Sean's that I didn't already have, I'm hoping that the sum of both cars will soon equal a pretty good streeter/hillclimber.
So before the build can begin the strip out of the other car has to happen first. Then when I get the garage back the hard work with this car will start with swapping all the bits across, gearbox swaps etc.
With the benefit of hindsight I'm going to do things right this time and start with an LSD. I'll post soon with where that's heading and what I'm considering, but figured I'd get this started for now.
