Here I am selling my beloved Mk3 GT with 1.6 conversion
This car is very powerful and would make an excellent track-day car, or a winter project as it has a few points that need looking at to make it perfect/faster, though I use it as my daily and it's still great.
The car was originally owned/purchased by Jeff Seddon (twin vr6 mk3 golf) owner of Dubsport and "All Seddon Done" and all the work to the engine was carried out by him.
The car runs very well I have been using it daily for the last 7 months and haven't had any issues other than the inline fuel pump which has now been replaced.
Make: VW
Model: Polo GT
Year/Reg: 1993 (L reg) first registered 11/05/1994

Stainless pistons
Uprated high lift cam
bigger valves
heavy lifters
direct port nitrous kit
13" brakes on the front (think they are g60 brakes)
new exhaust system (not sure of brand etc. but it sounds incredible)
and much more work, including clutch, though I am not 100% sure exactly what due to it having been built by someone else.
The car wasn't running when i bought it but I spent a bit of money getting it all ready again and have all receipts of services since.

Bad points:Small hole in body at bottom corner of the window, just needs welded
small rust spots in a couple places as expected with age (nothing major)
small interior leak (possibly scuttle-tray)
a couple scratches as expected with age
two very minor dings on the side of the car, i didn't even notice them until about 2 months of owning the car

Schmidt wheels not included in sale though may accept offers
more pictures (old & new) here:
http://photobucket.com/mk3poloGTi will constantly be uploading pictures but feel free to ask for any pictures of other parts
Price: £1600 ono, will listen to offers or P/X for a polo 9n/WHYG?
this is a car that is getting rarer by the day, with an engine that i have been told could be worth up to £4000 alone
Cobra race seats may be included at the right price
reason for sale is because i recently got points on my lisence and need something more reasonable for insurance purposes, will be very sad to see it go.
