  • Now we are finally moved into the new workshop it is time to kick off with a new project in the form of this 1985 Mk2 Vw Polo 86c Coupe. In this series I want to try and build a show car on a budget from a 'scrap' car. Trying to show that you don't need to throw loads of money at things to build a cool car.

    Double round headlights, mk1 bumpers, gunmetal metallic grey, anthracite interior with deep red accents, polo GTI engine(?), widen arches and wheels, lowered and a kicking sound set-up. That’s my votes.

    Colour has to be white or mint green to go with the “Polo” theme.
    1.4 tfsi engine swap
    Name of the new unit could be “Dans Automotive Centre” to go with the DAC channel 😉

    This proposal may be a little controversial, but...
    Regarding engine: 1.2tdi 3cyl from Lupo. With remap, it can handle around 100bhp.
    Bumpers: narrow in chrome.
    Fenders: built in metal and made wide up by Hood/rear windows (a bit like BMW M3)... Not much but enough to get the wheels well up in the wheel arches.
    Color: "apple"-green or maybe Harleqin?

    Workshop , or should that be "Dan's Den" looks amazing. I've watched from the start but thought I'd add a comment to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I'd look at putting a bike engine in as it would be a go kart..... also I saw the comment about mint green. Polo mint perfect. Mint green with black leather and a green check similar to the T5 seats. Can't wait to see how itbturns out as everything else you've built have been Fantastic. Keep up the great work. Are you doing anymore updates on the house channel?

    Original color, as low as you can go, BBS Mahle 14s with gold senter. Maybe Golf GTi front / back seats in black leather. Headliner and A/B/C pillars in alacantara ish like the T5.
    G40 engine with G60 supercharger and toothed belt. G60 injectors.

  • @Clutchdjw
    @Clutchdjw Рік тому

    Engine I'd recommend is the 6n2 1.6 GTI/6n 1.4 16v AFH frankenengine. 6n2 1.6 bottom end with the 1.4 16v head. Set of ITB's and a decent 4 into 1 manifold and it'll be reeeet

  • @Z50j1
    @Z50j1 Рік тому

    A good option for rear arch repair panels is to cut up a front wing from the opposite side.
    I had a saloon and was bang on.
    Also, these polos are pretty weak so probably best to keep to the small VW engine family.
    Anything from 1.3 to 1.6 with carb, injection or turbo.

    1.6 on a nice set of carbs . Period rainbow interior same as the 8v Gti golf . Single headlights with the cross hatches . See if g60 arches would fit , would give you a nice stance . There’s a couple ideas . Colour I’d go oak green 😊
    She’d name “chambers”

    @steve5772 Рік тому +1

    Careful when you're cutting and welding. Polos are rather flexible, so make sure it's well supported and any apertures braced, or you can suddenly find you've restored your car but the doors don't shut right.

  • @doncorolla9935
