My Dad had a 78 Polo N from new, so I know what basic means! He had to pay extra for a radio , a speaker (!) and an aerial!!

haha great optional extras back then this doesn't have a radio,a speaker an aerial or even a heater! but its a monster on the road and so much fun

small update when i removed the engine and box i tried the turbo shaft for play and was happy with the way it felt, since then all ports throttle inlet etc have been covered up, i changed the cambelt and decided to inspect the turbo ive found 4 out of the 6 outer blades are bent ! something has been drawn in and damaged them in its life time, ive decided to upgrade to a new k04 i will be sourcing the parts needed so i can run some extra bhp!
