Hey guys, so on Friday last week I made a radical move in like 4 hours

I went to buy a car out of the blue, with minimal funds

Travelled about 2 hours of motorway to get to it, and I even drove it back haha (no insurance and many issues with it but I will get to that later)

(IMG:http://i.imgur.com/1Oe705B.png)

It's a Volkswagen Polo Mk2F Genesis, apparently its a Coupe? But I'm pretty sure its a hatch haha Germans

So a little spec

1.3L N/A
5 Speed Gearbox (I believe its a GT/G40 gearbox)
Basic spec interior trim I guess (Has heater and did have a radio (did have))
BBS RA's 14/6j (these came from factory!)
Aftermarket exhaust system (Unsure what brand, but the backbox/tips are horrid)


Good points:
it cost me £450 haha
Wheels are good and solid
interior is literally like new other than the missing radio
no rust whatsover (tiny bits of surface rust in small areas but not unless you put your face to it)
almost mechanically sound
sounds as healthy as it did from factory with 150K miles!
Its a lot of fun to drive!

Bad Points:
really beat body/paint, has a decent dent in the boot lid
has no bonnet hinges (on the way home the bonnet kept lifting up haha)
seems like it has no front OS wheel bearing, this got worse when driving at 60+mph for 2 hours on a rough motorway
has no radio
has a really bold front NS tyre, which I hadn't realised till today and wondered why it understeered a little and wheelspun
has monster truck rideheight
isn't quite a G40 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
oh and the taillights are a little dodgey haha (bad earth)

but yeah unsure what I'm going to do with it, whether itll be put to OEM, OEM+ or whatever the f**k I want

But yeah, first thing first is to get it sorted to drive without s**tting myself when doing anything in it


I washed it today, and if i have time I'll take pics tomorrow
