    I have no idea how to do it myself though thats the trouble ... i'm a landscape gardener by trade lol so I know nothing about mechanics. If I got a donor car and took it to a garage ... do you reckon they'd do it??? And what kind of price would I be looking at?

    If I get a minute at the weekend I'll go to the local scrap yard and see whats around as a donor.

    Looked at getting a seat, a3 instead but still would rather have a converted polo as I just profer the cosmetics!

    Even if you do virtually all the spanner time yourself, you will have to take the car off the road for a minimum of one month I'd say and once you've finished, you could add another £1,000 on top of the £2,000 for the doner car.

    Is it worth £3,000 and no transport for at least a month? No !

    How about flogging the Polo for say £800, putting that £3,000 towards a nice MK4 Golf 1.8T Then start modding that !

    You know I'm right.

    Assumes you have access to 3k in the first place ?

    If I had 3k and I knew I could get it done for that then I'd do it tomorrow!

    But then I'd have spent 3k on a mk4 golf ...... and it would be the same as every other mk4 golf!

    Same reason why I would'nt get a seat, or and audi a3 ... nice cars but I won't something a bit different.

    I think if I do it ... then I will remove all the parts I've added back to standard then sell it. Then buy a black 3dr polo with mint bodywork .... I know I'll get one cheap as I can just get a 1litre .... as engine will be changed anyway! One thing I can't justify is £1000 on a black paintjob, hence this idea.

    You can get a decent 1.8T Golf for considerably less than £3k Nowadays if you want to save yourself a load of hastle.

    That's fair enough, as I said earlier there's always a big Polo following at the Shows. Each to their own.

    Love it! There's a really oldschool polo like that I've seen driving around near where I work. And a mk2 golf slammed on bbs alloys, left hand drive though!

    If it's a left hooker I bet the Golf's a G60. Both the Polo and Golf are Supercharged as standard!
