Months after our photo shoot, Devin parted with the car but has picked up another project to molest; this time, a rare '81 Polo. "It's lowered, has wheels and a 1.1 liter carbed motor, so I bought Yamaha carbs and plan to build the motor and fix the body. It's rare enough that I don't want to molest it too much, but it is my long term project."
