Such a non-standard design was born for reasons of space saving, as well as to reduce noise fatigue during long trips. And of course we didn't forget about performance. Quiet straight pipe for 1.9 tdi T3 Camper. What can be better?

Ladies and gentleman! Let us present you the most ultimate project car in Auto Klēts 4 year history!

Meet Victor the construction worker’s 1984 VW Polo mk2!

Jobs done at our shop:
*fully rebuilt 1.4 16v engine (AFH) swap from polo mk3
*unnecessaraly loud built custom stainless steel exhaust system
*gauge cluster with a rev counter (wich works when it wants to, not when it should)
*”custom” rain/leaf deflector for interior heater blower motor cut out from fake African goose leather

3 years ago Victor’s little Polo failed the annual technical inspection for emissions + excessive smoke coming from the exhaust. At the same day he visited us to ask for a solution for this problem. After some fiddling in the engine bay we understood, that the 1.0 carburetor powered unit was done it’s amazing 34 year lifespan. Not thinking much we offered Victor to do an engine swap to more up to date and reliable powertrain. Soon after the old engine has “left the building”, the new 2.5 times more powerful 1.4 16valve banger took it’s place, wich was sourced from a scrapyard somwhere in Tukums city. The engine has been fully rebuilt, because some “specialst” unsuccessfully atempted to rebuild it previously. After the swap has been done and registred, the Polo passed the technical inspection like a breeze!

Until this day Victor is driving this car through all seasons on a daily basis and it’s a real work horse. Sure, it has let him down for few times, but with some minor issues, like front shock absorber upper rubber support blew out and engine throttle body failure.

We must say that this little car is a certified ripper and is bringing many smiles sitting behind the wheel for sure, thanks to the engine + original mk2’s 4-speed gearbox (4.2 final drive btw 😉 ) combo. The oem brakes without vacuum booster and clumsy suspension setup adds up the scetchyness for the driving expirience absolutely!

And here are some pictures from last summer’s photoshoot, to proove you ladies and gentleman that this story isn’t an april fools joke. Have a nice day!

Baa-baa boys and girls! Today’s story will be about a car which wasn’t from any sort special when it rolled out from factory, but in present this vehicle does turn many people’s necks while passing by for sure!

Meet Aivars Alberts Prokopovičs 1989 VW mk1 Caddy! There’s not much special to say about how well equiped the car was when it came new, because in those days comercial use cars were simple to a bare minimum if we compare a similar purpose car from nowadays. 1.6 petrol powered engine with 4-speed manual transmission and a huge fiberglass roof on the cargo section, wich has been “lost” untill the car got into Aivars hands, that’s it!

Aivars visited us shortly after he purchased the car. The overall state of it was quite good considering that these cars were not taken care of quite frequently in their lifetime, and the first sign showing it, is how straight the cargo bed ribs are, which on this particular car looked pretty mint comparing on how bad they look now on other mk1 Caddys what we’ve seen. He decided to refurbish all the chasis parts and lower the suspension for a better aesthetic look. The main reason of lowering the car was because it was sitting unevenly with rear end higher than front.

All chasis parts were dismantled, sandblasted, powdercoated, front and rear brakes refurbished on the best manner possible. Everything was assembled together with fresh bushes, ball joints and tie rods with ends. New Rota OSR 15’x7 wheels were wrapped in Toyo Proxes T1-R 185/55 R15 tyres. New coilover suspension has been sourced, installed and adjusted at the desired height to get the best look on this new wheel setup.

The good old 1.6 engine has served this cars life like a champ. Even Aivars has been driven for 2 seasons now with few minor issues, and it is begging for some love. But he has some different plans on his mind for the nearest future and there will be a day when the little old lump will leave this cars engine bay and something more advanced and efficient will take it’s place for sure.
