The Engine is in! - VW Polo Coupe - Scrap To Showcar - Episode 8 

Same but without the hoodie.. Good prompt I’ll get that sorted!

Nothing wrong with the project becoming "how close to our budget can we stick" rather than, "built for under X"

@@usrnmeunknwn8691 No nothing at all wrong with that. Anyone can look at a car and think “yeah I can get this done for under X amount” but like anything, until you start delving into things and realising that it needs more work than previously anticipated, you can’t expect to stick to that budget if you want a true showpiece at the end of it. Take property for example - you can buy a house for £150k which looks structurally sound that just needs a little redecoration, with the anticipation of spending max. £5k on painting, new flooring throughout, the odd new interior door and light fitting here and there, and a general spruce up of the garden. 3 weeks into the modernisation and the boiler has just packed up. Whilst ripping out the old boiler, your contractor has managed to damage the plaster behind it which requires the whole wall to be skimmed, and then repainted after the plaster has fully dried out. All this adds extra cost and time on the renovation. The same applies to cars. The whole “£5k budget” of this series should be used as a guide, that Dan was going to aim to stick to. What do you expect him to do should he go over budget - a) completely abandon the build and scrap it, b) spend all the money where he can and bodge the rest and make it into a patchwork project, or c) continue as he is, accept that it’s going to run over the estimated budget and actually build something quality? I know what I and 90% of other viewers would prefer to see.

I'm in agreement with you 😂

Chop and weld suspension,yeah that sounds safe 😂

Same..I’m still waiting for an update after it was all plastered

Hi bud. Im Leicestershire. You will struggle to fit a 20v in a polo as the bay is so small. You would need to basically cut the front off the car and fabricate from scratch.

@@DanChambersDAC yea I no mate I wanna do your route now. My car need body work it's a very low miles car but because stupidly I cut lips off the sills when I first started driving lol they want replacing really, want rear disc conversion aswell. So interesting watching your videos just makes me wanna crack on and throw some money at the coupe now. After having kids it's just sat there doing f all.

@@DanChambersDAC who's doing your loom?

😂😂😂 you either get it or you don’t

You do realise manufacturers build cars filled with cost saving compromises right? Not to mention how much technology advances since this car was designed.....
