1995 VW Polo 1.6 CL :)
Discussion
Hi all 
Name is Josh King, 20 years old and this is my second car. Had a 1.2 corsa first but had to sell it due to moving up here to scotland to do my apprenticeship. Done a year and decided it was time to get another car lol. Found this beuty on the classifiieds here. Bought it on the saturday 11th september, and so far its been such a good runner. Collected it from gateshead, newcastle and drove it back up. It has quite alot of work done it and for only £550 i thought it was a bargain.
Now for the pics, more will come tommorow of what work has been done by me and what is needed to be done.

Hey 
Quite a cracking little motor I must say. Bought a 1.4 version 2 weeks ago of the same year with little over 83K on the clock. Paid the same too!
Mine goes faster though. "Why?" you ask...Because mine's Red
Good stuff OP and welcome
Are you a "native Australian"?

Nice VAG wagon you got there. Looks like the long lost cousin of my Seat Ibiza GTI 16v 

...which looks like it's readying itself to be a RamRaid star?

Cheers for the replies guys, much appreciated 
@Jake:- Only a couple more things to do then itll be a beast lol.
The 1.4 16v is a straight swap for the 8v 1.6 I think. Easy 100bhp.

Got my eyes set on a Mk1 cupra 1.8T engine (if it fits??) and rear axle + master brake cylinder. Hopefully with a simple remap it would be something like 230bhp :P
Why not go a little further than the common 1.8T, G60 and even the VR6 for that matter. Why not get yourself a full Syncro setup and put this in while leaving it standard as it is and still continue to use the 1.6CL badges...

You know it makes sense!

This is my rear splitter after I stupidly let somebody drive me car, who reversed it into a fence :S

This is the rear splitter I sanded, primed, and sprayed myself. Not finished yet though lol.

This is the front bumper how I have bought the car. As you can see the front bumper reinforcement has came through :S. I have a 2nd hand bumper that I am currently priming and spraying to be put on

This is the front splitter which is rusted to hell. Also, got a 2nd hand on which needs to prepared, primed, and sprayed.

This is a picture of the front of the car.

This is a picture of me engine. Its hand new NG Spark plugs, K&N filter, & Magnecor 8mm HT Leads
