1988 Polo Breadvan

[steveo3002]

heres my breadvan

bought as a beater to keep the miles off the golfs , got a bit carried away and ended up doing lots of cleaning and painting to get it pretty tidy, along with new brakes , wheel bearings, bushes, petrol tank and nearly every other moving part lol

its done 175k on its orig lump , has a weber convo , H4 conversion :oand ive fitted a 5 speed box now

I plan to swap in a later mk3 polo gt inj lump if ever one comes up for the right price

[R3TR0_R0B]

Could do with stick 'n wheels, but very tidy. You got a great fleet there mate!

[steveo3002]

if i had the cash id upgrade to some 14" golf steels with low profile tyres...but i aint got the £££ lol

[TYP 19]

nice! same engine as me! I've got loads of time for Polo squarebacks!

[Ruki]

I think that looks fine as it is.

[steveo3002]

haha like the gold bits

you still running the pooburg? best thing i ever did was get a weber

[herrod]

that looks stunning mate.clubpolo is the best place to look for conversions.i need to get me one of those rocker covers

[steveo3002]

yeah I'm on clubpolo , not desperate for an overpriced engine , i'll wait till something local comes up cheap

or maybe a 1400abd on the weber

[ghopmeister]

keep up the good work! Like it already

[deathgaytothemax]

iv got some golf steels,14x6 notyres make me an offer.

[herrod]

is the weber carb a replacement carb or is it a carb from another car made to fit your polo?

[Fennec]

Wheels wise, I'd use Skoda Felicia steels as they are the same as golf ones

[g40jon]

that is amazingly clean, don't think i'd do anything other than keep it clean. which weber are you running. I'm running a weber 32 tla and have to say its a bit naff and just as tempermental as a pooburg!

[steveo3002]

its a weber dmtr kit from a 1300 golf , I couldnt find a proper polo kit at the time but the golf is almost right apart from some messing with the throttle cable

was well worth doing, it runs like a top now and its so easy to ajust and tinker with..although no massive gains in performance really , gets 44mpg

i'll look out for skoda rims

[g40jon]

theres good potential for tuning though when using the dmtr carb. theres a few polos with those fitted that are up around polo gt power 75-80 bhp with very few other mods

[steveo3002]

oh yeah no doubt if you carry other mods the dmtr will compliment them , and its easy to swap jets etc

i got the proper vw choke cable for it..it has the gubbins to work the dash "choke on " light , so i fitted a led in there lol

i figured i can always get most of money back if i ever decide to sell it , they're always in demand

[herrod]

hi mate sorry to gatecrash but ive got the opportunity of a Weber Dmtr21/200 Carb
do u know if this will fit my mk2 1.0l engine?
its jetted for a 1.6 golf so i know ill haveto alter the jetting.

[steveo3002]

not sure , it might fit if you can still get all the adaptors and bits , plus the re jetting

id just wait for the proper kit to come along, they're not that hard to locate and cheaper than buying all the bits to convert it
