Wile0ut's Vdub mk2 polo saloon <3 retro goodness
 

here it is my 1984 vw polo mk2 saloon 1.1 82'000 miles. went to have a look at it last week and picked it up today. got back home literally 15minutes ago and couldn't help taking some pics of it for you guys. so here they are

this is when i went to look at her

her at her new home



yes hawiian necklace lol :P



fully in love with this car already looks so good on the road and drives really well.

couple of problems ive found is the pas side seatbelt is broke so will be getting a new 1 tommorow or later on in the week from the scrappies. and its timing abit of revving a little high in neutral and taking a while to cut off so need to have a play with the dizzy cap over the weekend. oh and one of the plate lights is gone. other than that i cant fault the car its structually sound and awesome fun to drive :D

c&c welcome

i love retro cars like this :) need 1 in my life. got any plans for it then ?

love it! need some kick ass rims first, then a porcshe interior hmmmm :y:

just wanna get it serviced and running sweet and enjoy it for a bit then...

underseal it
14" alloys maybe ats classics or some bbs mahle
maybe a little lower
headlights will be yellow pretty soon
half smoked rears
roof rack
lucas mirrors

thats about it but im in no rush to do it :D

that does sound very tempting lol

sounds good man :D

Me likey! i love RetroDubs :luff:

I've got my eye on a 5door mk1 Golf on coilies and genuine BBS splits ;)

cheers mate
that golf sounds promising aswell you got any pics?

Love it!

Stick a set of the widest! Fatest! Rims on it u can find dude then send her to the floor! :y:

High idle / slow cut off will be the Pierburg carb. There are service kits available (I've rebuilt 3 on the golf!!) or you could always convert to a weber carb. It'll have a manual choke so you can control the idle instead of relying on a vacuum system. It'll increase power a bit but might make it thirstier.

Before you buy a new seatbelt, pull it all the way out and spray the belt both sides with furniture polish. Mine packed in 3 months ago and wouldn't spring back, did this trick and they're like new.

Finally! Nice car mate looks like a really solid shell with bags of potential, if you ever feel the need for more power, 1.3 engines from mk2 golf's and polo's fit straight in. Gti engines will also squeeze in with a little pursuasion!

Tom

i'll put some up later buddy :) at college so can't get on facebook :n:

Love the look of this car, can't wait to see what you might do with it. :D

love this mate looksthe nuts........wheels coilovers and good old clean perfect

strangly like this car alot looks fairly retro jap spec like a corrola ke70 or simialr shame it aint rwd

thanks for all the comments guys

and tom thanks for all the info il have a go with the belt later.
and id left my choke on thats why its was revving high :D imma idiot sometimes

Ats classics.

still on for tomorrow mate? im looking forward to seeing this in person

i tell you what could be an interesting thing to look at...a BAM 20vT conversion! would be epic to see an engine like that in a polo saloon!

+1 on the ats cups or failing that go for ronal teddy bears :D

Love these tbf! Seen an epic one at edition a few years ago...900cc fireblade engine IIRC RWD too remember the chap drifting it haha! Looked sick with the Louvre on the rear screen and diffuser!

looks great m8

Haha that would explain the idle problem!

Pics, of said MK1 Golf, and the lads beetle aswell

When it first got coilies


When it got the BBS Splits


And his Beetle Marathon- apparently its quite rare

yh that golf looks mint mate more doors for more whores :) i need some of them wheels :(

not a fan of ronal teddies think they look like kiddies alloys

and the rear screen diffuser on that bronze 1 looks mint.

big picture update coming soon :D

Dan

i agree on the ronal teddies being kiddies alloys just thought i might throw it out there :P

banded steels would be the way forward ;)

definately bandeds but its funding them at the min i need to sell my saxo and all the parts ive got lying around and my other wheels lol then il be alright to put some money into the loon.

PICS just a few ive taken over the past couple of days loads more to come from tom dl when he's uploaded them.
(somebody's lower :P)




went to pick my mate up from where he was skating the other day and this was parked up looked mint with them both together


Dan

Dammit! not for long matey ;)

Mini Photo shoot!!!





















;)

awesome pics tom your a legend

them mudflaps are definately going this weekend

no worries bro,
i like the vw badge pic,

mudflaps off will tidy the back up a a bit yeah

haha i forgot about that badge il get some zip ties from work tommorow and strap it on it looks ghetto ;)

looks smart man :y: body works looks in mint condition for its age too :)

cheers mate. its got the odd trolley ding but it is pretty mint :)

Slam it

thinking of fitting this


and ive got the same roof rack as this on the way :D

Get a surf board lol me m8 not interested in your car, he say's he ain't got the money to spend on it so just going to get a vts, tried me best to convince tho lol

Roof rack is a beast love it! Bare in mind what the steering will be like with such a small wheel. They're heavy enough with our bus wheels, making it any smaller can be a pain. (i had a 280mm momo team on mine lol)

thats exactly my thoughts on the wheel not enough leverage for the tight heavy manouvers lol will probably end up sellin it.

quick clean and polish, not bad for 27 year old paint










couple more pics in a min of my tow eye ;)

comments welcome

YES.

paintwork has come up nice mate, what did ya use?
