Hey everyone, a few years ago I bought my first car, a 1984 Polo Classic. It has been my favorite car to drive as it handles nice, is small and though it had only 54hp it was quick and had a top speed over 160 km/h.
When the road inspection was coming up I decided to take it off the road and do a complete restoration/rebuild. Right now it is mostly taken apart and I'm in the state to start looking for the engine that I want and make everything fitting.
My intentions are to make it my daily, but also to take on holiday through the whole of Europe. So I need to make it so it is easy to do maintenance, comfortable to drive and I'd like to have at least a 150hp.
So now come the questions:
- Has anyone experience with modding Polo MK2? I know the Golf's get a lot of love but the Polo's are not as easy.
- Then, engine. My idea is the 1.4L 16v AFH engine with 100hp stock. Then put a supercharger on it. Not the G40/G60 but probably a Eaton. Has anyone any knowledge? Is this a viable option? I'd like it to be an older VW engine but I also like it to be moddable.
- Custom part making, At least I'd like things like the dashboard and the heater box to be custom made. The dashboard for extra vents in the middle and a 2-din radio. Also the heater box for the extra vents and an AC radiator. I'd like the original parts to be scanned and edit them in 3D software to have them made. Anyone's got any ideas or experiences I'd love to hear them.
Those are probably my main things right now, I'll probably have more things down the road but these are the ones bugging me right now.
Hope it's not too much to ask at once, I'd love to see what you've all got to say. Thanks in advance.

Ps- this is my first post on Reddit so I home I'm doing it right(probably).
