New Project - Scrap To Showcar
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 бер 2023
- 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.

Call it “The Chamber”
Spot on that! The chamber!
I was just about to say the same thing 👍
Haha love it 👊🏻
lol yeah it’s kind of just begging for this to be the name
I was about to say that too "The Chamber" sounds great 💯
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.
Metal Bumpers, Twin round lights! Look forward to it, Happy Birthday to Abigail!
Thank you dude
Fair play with the new unit Dan, hard work paying off.
I reckon you should call it "the DAC Shack" 🤘
THIS 100%
Call your new workshop ‘The DAC SHACK’ with the knowledge and practice you gained on the golf project, the polo project it’s going to be amazing.well done to you for making a dream come true with the new workshop.👊👍🔥
New workshop looks top class 👌
How about "DAC Shack*
Black (red accents) or green with chrome bits. And I like "The Chamber" people have suggested.
Workshop does you credit. You refer to as the new space so call it "The Space"!
Chambers Chamber? Dan’s Design Haus? Your energy and enthusiasm is fantastic. Enjoy.
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 😉
Keep the cracking episodes rolling Dan, easily my favourite channel on UA-cam 🙌👍
Someone said UniT5. Rolls off the tongue nicely. 👌🏼
AFH swap! Classic, tested, great looking and fast!
Little polo couple remember these little gems MK2 golf GTi would go well
Or make her a decent g40
Congratulation on this next chapter of your life! You've earned it!
Thank you so much!
The Shed! Because that what it was before. This build will be fun!!!
The money saved on rent of the unit aswell as only a walk up the garden as a commute are big plus points .
I must say well done in such a quick build of the unit and Im not jealous much!!!
Thank you bud, Yeah the commute is a lot more bearable now!
Engine wise I think go lupo gti with turbo
Yeah you gotta call it the Chamber, good shout Nick Sturrock
You must be so busy in the week, evenings and weekends. The amount of progress is amazing. Don't burn yourself out. Love the channel. One of the best on UA-cam.
I have a fair bit going on! Thank you bud, Really appreciate it.
Lighting in the shop turned out great for the videos!
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?
Berg cup style, retro deep dish wheels, subtle modern Grey, interior plush and black (carpet, alcantara, leather etc) Corsa vxr recaro style front seats.
Colour- Blackberry with bronze wheels! Single round headlights and 16v mk2 golf engine 👌🏻
I'm always in awe when you go around a vehicle, pointing out bits that I'd consider the end of the world and go "that bit's not too bad" 😂
Lovely set of wheels and bagged
Silver looks class in this shape Dan, I’d go for a mad bike engine in this!
16v Golf gti lump...perfect
👌
Call it Castle Greyskull 🏰
I am looking forward to watching the next project 👍🏻🏴
Single round headlamps, oak green.
Great project and love the low budget challenge! I reckon the 1.4 AFH 16V would be a great match.
Put a few names out on a vote! ''The Chambers'' definitely a good one or ''The Chamber's Shop''. Again congrats on your achievement Dan. Keep up the good work.
Came here for the garage build, staying for the vw content!
I still think you should have a little window in the kitchen facing out towards the big door, just so you can see what’s going on while the kettles boiling..
Get a 1.2tsi in there and give it some modern G40 vibes. ❤️
Nice new project Dan. Metal bumpers defo and oak green paint 😊
Engínge: pd130 or something similar that would fit..
Bumpers: either none or the smallest ones probably in black/commercial t5 bumper color..
Headlights: There is no choice, round or homemade LED things that will definelty go through the uk MoT.. lol
Color: Thought you had your own DAC signature color mate? ;)
anyway, love your builds, love the shop, good luck and have fun! Dont forget to take a well deserved vacation!
Color - Red Candy 😋🤩
Engine - Vw vr6 3.6 🤔😬
I’d call it UniT5 in homage to your first T5 build.
The polo would look ace in a nice brown with some gold wheels imo, but whatever you do Dan it will look great 👊🏻
As someone else said the Dac shack sounds cool, as for the car I'd say exterior vw mango green small mk1 bumpers in black and black trims
Interior original dash seats in black Alcantara with Harris tweed centres 👌🏻
Not watched for a while great new place call it Dan's cave like new project
I kinda picture it in a Green, with green tartan trimmed seats (Relicate Leather sells a nice green tartan) and Mk1 flares.
Yes Dan, so glad you’re doing a polo coupe. I had two of these, an early Y reg with 4 speed gbox then after that a H reg gt. The g40 was the one to have. Supercharged.👍🏻
Hello from Finland 🇫🇮 Yes 👍 Nice VW Polo project 👍
So glad I’ve come across your Channel. first video I’ve seen and it’s nice to see someone saving the old polo instead of scraping it. Hoping to get some inspiration for my 6n1
Thank you bud.
Thank you bud.
1.3/G40 cup car. Low and wide. Great choice!
DAC Shack!
Dan call it The Hanger 👍🏼👍🏼 great video 🙌🏻
Thanks bud
Awesome stuff buddy lots of love from south Africa Johannesburg 🇿🇦
A 1.9 VW TDI with a cummins injection pump and an aftermarket turbo would be really cool🤟🏼👌🏼
My first car was a 1043cc 5 speed mk2 polo Parade 😊 always loved these cars.
The ‘Dac Shack’
A light metallic green and twin headlights.
I’m easy about the rest of it!
Love your new workshop👍
Thank You!
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?
Call the garage “BARN BUILDS” keep up the good work 👍🇬🇧
You should build a version of a Rally Car. It would be sweet.
The workshop has to include Chamber in it somewhere “Dans chamber” or Chambers Chamber “ etc
Excellent new workshop, Call it the Chamber best engine 1.4 16v out of 9n polo lightweight & revs.
This is gonna be a fun one. 😮
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.
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
Love the new project. How about a Berg cup build with a N/A screamer of an engine.
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.
1.4 afh, dead easy to polish up for the show points, and also an easy engine to tune👌
She’s gonna be a belter when done. Maybe paint it a blue colour
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”
I’m calling a small capacity modern diesel, nice and torquey would be great fun in a small car and within budget 👌🏻
Dan get yourself an Oscillating Multi-Tool with a sharpend bit for the underseal.
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.
I would do a safari build with light green paint and brown interior with the black plastic trim on the extirior. Ofcourse alot of round lights and some fun accesories.
First off, happy almost birthday to Abi. I reckon you should do a full old school rally slack build but with a full tuned Golf GTD engine and drive train. Maybe interior too. Good fuel mileage with silly power in that light shell
Can't wait to see it 1.4 16v from 6n polo. Slammed on dished wheels. Maybe a pastel colour 🤔
7:40 Polo should be full 90’s Euro style in peppermint green!
Great content. looking forward to the build name: "V" shed
Call the workshop "the resto chamber"
Can't wait for this build 🙌
“DPS” edition… Dan PlayerS Special, black and gold theme… subtle graphics, gold motor detailing
Black car, tan interior, tombstone seats from mx5, PD130 lump.
Metal bumpers, round headlights, 3 spoke wheel,
'The Den' for the workshop name. Den Chambers 😆
Id call the workshop chamber of secrets lol cant wait to see it all underway
Best of luck Dan, should be an interesting build,
Love a mk2 hatchback, looking forward to this 👍
You should call it ‘The DAC Box’.
Yes mate,good choice! :) I had an E plate Coupe S and loved it, maybe go wide and low,twin headlights....
New workshop looks great fair play buddy. As for the car, change it up a bit. VW Golf, VW Polo, VW Caddy, VW Transporter! Polo and Golf too samey samey! Just my opinion.
The channel gets better views on VW content. Tried Ford, Didn't work. Tried a motorbike, Didn't work.
Excited for this build! 😎👍🛠
Whatever goes in it, please supercharge it. Most projects these days are turbo, so would be nice to see a small supercharged hothatch.
Its Dan Champ now 💪
👊
Flared arches and sills like the mk2 golf rallye would be cool 😎
Great video, good to see whats brewing in DAC HQ, looking forward to the updates as love a good polo!
Name for the workshop - the DanCave!
Amazing now im not annoyed it's wonderful project ❤
Would love to see you do a scirocco
Use the engine from the Lupo and go for an 80's / 90's vibe..... tape deck hooked up to a CD changer as well....
I had one as my first car, polo fox, g reg, bread van type. Great little car. Petrol tank used to leak at bottom of filler pipe (new tank fixed it)
My auntie had one 35 years ago, borrowed it for an afternoon, my memry of it was, as soon as you see a roundabout, start braking, because they were so abysmally poor!
Great new shop maybe the Dac cave be good name
8 valve GTI engine running on twin deltoros 💨. Keep it simple and it will come together. Put more work into the trimming and bodywork. Would it be possible to fabricate some golf GTI style bumpers for it 🤔.
Good luck Dan
Chambers Chamber, obviously!!!!
Excellent project ahead,my son has a 1991 mk2f Breadvan so we’re right on this project ahead of us.Quality as ever Dan.👌
Small chrome bumpers , original colour single lights dishy af original style wheels us class
THE DAC SHACK 👍
Paint it polar silver! And do an ABF 16V swap! Quad Round front end, and MK2 GTI Tear Drop wheels!
1.4 16v from a 6N era Polo but on ITB's.
