my mk4 polo rebuild

Post by mini_dub »

hey
just some shots of what i have been doing on my mk4 polo

it used to look like this:
Image
but after i got forced to modify the front end by a nice lady who decided to do and emergancy stop for a fesant it look like this :-(
Image
it was back on the road within a few days but not long after the gearbox deciede to start making some choice noises so it was time for some tlc
first i started by removing all the sealer from the rear wheel arches but found a spot of rust
Image
so gave up on the rear for the time being and deciede to crack on tyding up the front wheel arches
Image
dirty
Image
cleaned
Image
painted
after doing this it was time to crack on smoothing off the top grills and towing eye cover on the front bumper so after perchasing a plastic welding kit off ebay i gave it a shot. i used and old rear bumer for the inserts for the top grill and welded them in (didnt get and photos was too kean to get the filler on)
Image
filled
Image
primed
Image
Image
finished
whislt i was cracking on with the bumer the car went off to have the rust repaired and get some bits and bobs deleted so after 10 hours of welding it looks like this
Image
rust removed
Image
smooth sills
Image
washer jets deleted
Image
tailgate badge and handle deleted

thats as far as the projects got atm, waiting for my garage to be ready then i can crack on with the body work

update soon i hope
