I was after a G40 once, untill i found out the brakes and suspension where the same as base units :S
The polo has fiberglass wings, sills and door panels that are Genuine VW motorsports parts, these were built in 1985/86 for Rally cross and painted white, they origanlly came with a G40 engine but mines been removed at some point as well as repainting it !! its now fitted with a 1.3s. But i do have a G40 engine and box in the garage waiting to be fitted later this year, looking to return the car to its original spec!! and a repaint
Cheers [/b]

Car is sat in my garage, i bought a house 18 months ago and under estimated the work to be done so the cars had to wait a while but it will be running in a couple of weeks, needs a m.o.t and all the geometry setting, and then the fun can begin  Traction!!! got a LSd and re-built the box with some changed ratios. I'll just run slicks   Cheers

Might take you up on the offer of trying those injectors.
I'll just run slicks

very tidy engine bay to, top work The colour is just VW Blue from the new Lupo. Thanks for the comments on the engine bay, wanted it to look tidy but without all the polishing and chrome work. Its easier to work on when its clean, the only polished bit will be the boost pipes!! Cheers
