Hey guys...
I currently own a 92 mk3 polo 1.0l cl with a 1.3gt engine in it this is being replace by the mk1 if anyones interested

The golf is an A-reg 2 door driver with 80,000 on the clock and i think the colour Lhasa green? its had one owner from new and the engine has been replaced with a later 1.3 with electronic ignition
![:)](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/smile.png)
plans are to get it running (it hasnt been touch for 5 years!) tidy it up, theres some rust on the valences and a dent in the rear quater, stick the rh cups on (14x7 and 14x8) the polo's running on winter wheels anyway, and drop it to the floor on coilovers
![:)](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/smile.png)
the engine will stay as it is for now other than a clean and swop over the alloy rocker cover and engine cover but i plan on fitting a small block 1.6 out of a mk4 polo and running it on either gt polo injection or perhaps carbs or bodies
![:)](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/smile.png)
should look something like this…

IMO as long as the body is standard and anything done can be put back without too much hassle it's ok
If you got rid of the roof rack that Mk1 would look good… get some pics up of the mk1

dont worry it wont be radically changed just small mods that can be reverted, and keeping the line of the car clean

Looks great and I love the colour :y: like you say coilovers are required very soon though!
![:)](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/smile.png)
How much were the powerflex bushes (if you don't mind me asking)? And whereabouts did you get them from?
Also, which coilovers are you thinking of getting? I need a set soon-ish for my GTi

For you I have written especially the mk1's prayer!…So here goes!
Dear master, please give me the finest 97 ron esso fuel so that I might propel you from a to b to the best of my ability and know that I would still do my best even if you had slam dunked me onto a set of Ronald turbo's. Be gentle with your spanners on my nuts and leave my ride height standard, for I fear I would fail you mid journey as my welds cracked over raised pot holes! Do not break my spirit with a loud in ya face big bore exhaust, even though I would still massage your soft bottom with my comfy cloth seat every time you thrashed me past a busy bus stop! For I am your loyal mk1 golf, I love you with every tappet slap I make, for ever and ever Karmann!

Welcome to the club pimpin_polo (not to sure about the name :? )
Personally I'd leave it standard, I think the driver models have got something about them that even the GTi models don't have. I just don't know what it is though!! She looks in great condition, and nice to see plenty of history with her.
Have fun!!
Mike.

The subtle modding of your car will do wonders for the handling and looks IMO, as long as you dont drop it too far and get a good set of coilovers like H&R!!!
The main thing is too enjoy owning the car.
