I've got a 1.4 16v AFH to drop in.
Hopefully, should be done for the spring

Nice one. Looking forward to updates.

Quick update as to where I'm at with the polo.
Welding done in the bay….



All holes welded up, and ready for filler. Got hold of a rottisierie to do the underside







Slight surface rust



Ready for primer



After a couple of coats of etch primer.



Stonechip next, then yellowOnce the underside is complete, I will start filling and smoothing the bay.

Lovely polo mate, great condition and the colour is ace!

+1 the colour is really nice. Cracking job so far matey.    

awesome love it

Thanks for the comments guys!
Applied 3 to 4 coats of stonechip to the underside, I will need to put the jig on the passenger side and apply another couple.







And made a start on the filler in the engine bay.







 

Oh my! 

I've had NHS operations in worst places than the inside of your motor! 

It's going to be mint when finished    

Incredible condition for a project base car Best of luck mate

Underside and ful tank now painted.









Engine bay next!

Wow. I want one! Under 900cc? How did it go?
Underside looks sweet! I envy people who have the patience (and money) for jobs like that!

Simply epic

895cc, and yes it did go well, surprisingly nippy
Why the envy? I have no patience, and all its cost me is the primer, stonechip and paint, around £70!!!

Thats pretty cheap! I just plain hate prepwork, and have no garage.

Love it. May try and find myself one at some stage, but they are pretty rare now!

Incredible
