Tiny Honk does not drive during winter as the salt quickly would kill him, and I hope to have him for many years. So dear husband had to find me a winter car. He bought a cheap Polo Coupe from 1991. It looked healthy, but we would get wiser, hmm. Of course it became a project too. Son has styled and designed the look. He was very sorry we could afford all his great ideas, but a frontspoiler, side expansion sets, a quite large "ice" stereo and pink ornamentings were all must haves. See the project below.

Rust around the petrol cap, but fortunately it is possible to buy new plate spareparts although it's not a new car. | |
The mudguards were not too pretty either. Max repaired it without buying new spareparts. | |
I think there is a little plate smith hidden in him too. | |
The lower part of the doors also needed a replacement. | |
Another rotten door - I think we've seen something like that before. | |
Diverse rust and holes. | |
New spareparts for the bottom. Everything including the bottom was checked. |
|
Almost done! It took approx. 2 months from the beginning to the end. Max
could only work on the car in the evenings and in the weekends. I know I'm very privileged! |
|
Frontspoiler and the side expansion sets are fitted before it goes to the painter. Tim has co-worked on the project from start till the end. | |
Home again from the painter, the pink ornamentings are mounted. Max does not agree, but son and I think they are funny. It does not have to be too serious. | |
The final result - it is a really fine little winter car. | |
Mum's "ice" (stereo). Tim has decorated the inside of the car with pink panters, a pink cap and other pink things. The plush ghettoblaster pillow can really play. |

This is how my nice little Polo looked after I had
lend it to my boss. :( Totally wrecked! It was dented all over. |
|
Take a piece of advice: Don't lend out something you like. I ended being fired due to this! :( Max has found me another Polo, not as nice as this one, but it runs fine and I have found a new job. | |
