Title: Rich buys yet another car
Post by: richandhazel on 15 October 2004, 16:24
Couldn't resist it, makes so much practical sense. Got offered an H reg VW Polo GT for ?100 by the guy that does the karaoke in our local pub. Just picked it up and got it for ?75 in the end ;D

Goes bloody well for a 1.3, has single point injection, same as the 1.4 Pug, but 'feels' much quicker. Needs a bit of attention for the MOT but nothing to drastic that I've noticed so far - I haven't had a really good look round it yet so there maybe something horrible awaiting me but hey-ho, its only ?75. Bodywork is all clean, should be a cheap runaround...............and it means I can give my brothers Pug back once I've got this one sorted ;D

Correction: its not single point injection but in fact multipoint. Digifant I believe :o

Yeah there's a small dent in that rear wing, well spotted. I reckon if I take the interior trim off that will pop straight out ;) Other side is totally clean but up against the hedge so couldn't take any pics ::)

Well I figured it was worth it for parts alone but I will put it on the road if there is nothing too drastic wrong. It drives fine so can't imagine there will be too much. One of the boxes is blowing and the handbrake cable is broken. Thats all I have found...........so far :)

I had a quick look under the bonnet earlier and I wondered about that - It was Roy (the seller) who told me it was single point but I could see what appears to be injectors going to each pot. Anyway its definately a GT so now I know - cheers Paul ;D
