i came close to selling this but couldnt do Icon_lol


so here is the new plan !


The car is going to dm motors in the next 2 weeks and the carb will be running properly. (he is waiting to get his gas analyzer back and then i can take it to him)

then when the carb is set up !

its time to fit all the new stuff ive got

clutch
clutch cable
radiator
track rod ends
track controll arms (with new ball joints)
discs & pads
new shoes
steering rack
uprated springs and dampers (60mm drop)
(spring and dampers need ordering)


then get my wheels back off aidan and pray the centres red Icon_cool

and then when funds allow Icon_cool
berg-cup arches Icon_cheesygrin


and by mod nationals 2009 !
it will be caged and resprayed !!

RE: *member* ASH's mk2 polo

the release baering has worn so needs replacing !
the car doesnt even have a servo so i want new discs and pads
there is alot of free play in the steering and all joint look past it

so it all for peace of mind realy and once its done i know its going to be (touch wood) reliable as there wont be much else to go wrong
