project budget lupo

[Guest]

right i've been loooking for a small car as a run around it must be cheap and cool which is fairly hard to find (apart from little centos but i want somthing i havent had befor) and cheap to insure. My dad txt me saying he has a chance of a lupo for £500 the car came in and its got a few problem but nout major and for the price its a bargin. its not back home yet as i need to pay for it :P . I will be modifiing it but jst cheap things and DIY mods my pal whos polishng the p slots is giving me some coilovers for it and im picking them up with the slots tonight only 1 left for me to take down to ge polished. There all going on it when the wethers better. and its a little 1.0L so mint on fuel they get 60+ mpg on a run. This now meens the golf can come off the road and turn into a full on project  . i can not wait  will get pics up when i get her home as the ones on my dads phone are poo

still no pics yet but she's now insured was £114 extra to swap it over from the golf and i have 6 month left on the policy but i heard from a few people it is cheaper to have your car on the road rather than the drive and it dropped to £75 extra  insureance is crazy in every way lol. hoping to have it at home in the next few days

I just renewed my coupe insurance mate... CRAZY!!! Insured as a classic and with OUT using my no claims bonus Ive saved over £100!! Work that one out.. It now means I can transfer my NCB to the van and save even more money.

  I was expecting to see a real heap mate.. £500 for that 
Its very near to the Hawk Kawasaki Racing Green which is a lovely colour. That has to be the find of the year.. Nice work 'Dad-Stu'..

tbh mate I was as well, the lip of the sill it’s like a seam on the loops is rotten but thats the worst thing on the car and an easy fix. there is a bubble on the drivers side on the bottom of the door shut but it is like the size of a 10p and its not very noticeable, the boot latch is corroding abit under paint but that happens too all of them and the lip of the boot looks like its been scraped but on the very edge n showing surface but its just slight. and there is a big dint in the passengers side wing which most of it will pop out and a tiny one in the edge of the bonnet other than those things which are minor and most easy fixable the car is straight I can't see any little car park dings and the rest of the paint looks well but it is 10 years old. vws come with a 12 year paint and corrosion warrantee to I am going to go see a vw garage about all the little bits before I sort them myself. Still a bargin and I will have it looking real nice in no time if this weather hurries up and sorts its self out.  i got a few pics with my mates lupo i will throw up soon

Kind of strange for a VW to rust so early in its life... With a Fiat you kind of expect it.

Go to the top mate. Send an email to VW UK HQ
