Posted: Sat Jan 15, 2011 11:03 am
Thought I'd post a few photos of my Boyfriends G40
I love this car to bits. it's so much fun!
170 BHP
Spins in 1st and 2nd, and third when its wet
Mint Condition
Alarm (will check what with)
side Indicators smoothed and moved to front bumper
Alpine Headunit
Electric Windows
Sunroof
When I first met him he really wanted either a GTI or a G40, he ended up finding a GTI and buying that, He then sold it to me last year, and stumbled across the G.
We went to see it, with no intesions of really buying it (least thats what he said, i knew deep down hed love it straight away and want it lol)
Its had masses of Work done, The night he first got it I brought A black folder and a handful of packs of plastic wallets and sorted all the service history into order.
And its still hard to fully understand just how much work has gone into this car.
its had 11 owners, all of which you can find in the service history, and all of which have each spent a lot of money.
the 5th/6th-ish Owner Karen got it featured in VW Motoring Magazine in 2004
(I managed to get the magazine for Jack as a suprise chrsitmas present )
it was already far from standard and was already a few more BHP above standard.
But it was the owner after that, I think its Tom. who did all the work to get it to 170BHP.
Jack brought the G off a chap called George who had owned the car for about 2 years.
he gave it a full body respray in the original colour Alpine White
and also refurbed the wheels. which now i think of it arnt the orginal ones, theyre an inch bigger i think.
Since Owning :-
• G40 Badge on the front
• New Debadged Grill
• Interior Back in
• Seat Belts
• New Manifold (and whilst it was in, cambelt and so on was done just for the sake of it)
• New Exhaust
• Full extensive detail
• New brakes! the other ones were track ones and they were scarily bad for daily driving
• Snooper!
• Rear Lights without the white bit
• Rear Polo Badge sprayed Black
• Pressed Plates
Plans :-
• New tyres!!!!
• MOT
• Alcantara Dash
• get it to a few shows!!!!
other then that the car is pretty perfect!
