thanks i am just as jealous because my son is going to enjoy it and i have to build it. it is going to be his drive around car with the occasional street drag meet.
after his project we will hopefully start with mine

This is going to be a very interesting thread. I had my 97 Polo with Matt for a week trying to fit a 1.8 motor and gearbox from a Seat but it just wouldn't fit. Subframe would have to be severley modified and the motor was too tall.

But like Golfman says, the old Polo's are crying out for a decent engine. If you can carry it off it should make for a really good car. Size is similar to the MK1 Golf and it doesn't take much to get it handling really well. With a decent engine and suspension mods it's sort of like a modern MK1.

Here's mine before I hit a kangaroo and wiped out the front passenger corner. My MK2 is nowhere as refined to drive but it does go quicker. If I could fit the MK2 mechanicals into the Polo I would be a happy man.

i have never spend so much thought on how to tackle this project and reckons everything will fall in place as we go along. my hardest project was building a rwd mk1 golf by installing a golf mk2 front suspension in the rear. so hopefully this will be an easier mission thanks to everybody for showing interest. we will try to show people the ups and downs as we go along where somebody may have better ideas or insight to help us along aswell.

Can't wait for it! It will be great!
Got any pictures of the RWD MK1... Ive never seen one of those before...

the motor arrive tomorrow, and our first job will be to get all the right motor parts as we want to build a 2.1 sub, head port and what ever. still trying to find a decent pair of camshafts. i prefer high lift and lumpy stuff. we will get all the magic goodies and then fit the motor.

Hey guys

here are some pics of us cutting the seats, we will be putting it on the flow bench again to test it to see if we could get any better flow.
