    threads are useless without pictures I guess....bought this car for my sister as a 17th birthday present nearly 5 years ago,cheap but high mileage(198,000miles) 1.1(fitted with a 1.3 carb)


    checking the history that came with it when the 1.3 went in so did a set of rev counter clocks.....car had 44,000miles previously and jumped to 195k!!!


    gave it a good clean then put some -50mm springs and shocks on it and a set of wheels for her


    then she decided she'd rather have a polo

    seeing as it was now mine bought some coils and fitted them


    lost fourth gear in the og box and the 5 speed box I found for it came attatched to a polo gt engine digifant,multi point,cam,ported four branch wouldve been rude not too added gti fronts and a full stainless


    and chanced across a set of OZ executives


    which I refurbed and made wider

    close up of wheels


    polo gt distributor died so decided to fit the engine from my jetta as it was unsuited to the 16vT route I was planning


    bigger brakes(285 black diamonds/pads)for the new engine(its ported and polished,cammed,lightened and balanced,four branched,2.5" jetex rally system,WUR mod)


    in


    wrapped


    bought more wheels


    cleaned them


    fitted them

    bought fun tyres


    fitted them


    had fun :p

    chilled out,fitted my pirelli's for a bit


    then back to the exec's for a while


    which are a bit tight


    :p


    seam welded up a pair of new wishbones and powdered up a new front end


    and on


    lots off hilarity ensued


    then the fuel pump died........

    so going on previous history obviously fitting a 20v will fix it god help me when that breaks though

    Need to change the audi engine a bit to suit transverse but having polished a few 20vT set ups and helping a friend fit a 20vT to a caddy I liked the inline manifold over the transverse and reckon ill get it in so used a spare one I had from when my first engine in that died from sludging which id polished and tried to flog(its been lying for 2 years since anyway)




    not worth 100 quid???

    fine






    had to go through the walls at a couple bits,welding them up and putting a better radius back in as I go


    tried to open the throat up as best as possible




    up to date pretty much,possibly got another set of wheels away that should pay for the new cage but major engine work is still awaiting the corrado selling
