Just bought a G - need a few bits
« on: May 20, 2014, 05:15:33 pm »
Just got myself a 1991 G40 and there are a few bits i would like to get hold of (the first of many parts I'm sure!!)

G40/GT radiator
Front struts
Rear G40 Badge
Hella Clear Indicators
Pair of front lights - good condition only please
Fuel Lines & Accumulator
Rear Bracket for fuel pump assembly

Cash is waiting...based in Leeds...prepared to drive or arrange postage.

Thanks in advance

Joe

Apart from the rad I will take all those off you. Read that G40/GT rads are better so want to hold out for an original, or even better, an uprated one.
Whats the price for the other items? Will collect from you.

I'm not sure if they are now obsolete from VW now tbh and everywhere else will sell you a normal polo rad even if they list it as a GT/G40 one. I've run the normal rad on trackdays with a turbo and they are fine.

£40 though without it.

Yeah spoke to VW before putting the post up...no rads left. Although I did see that vwclassicparts.de still sell them for €460 :o
I will take your advice/experience on the CL one and give it a go.
You available in the evening one day this week?
Thanks
Joe

Managed to source just about everything on the original list...massive thanks to SamG40 and GoinGoinGone!

Still after a rear badge...open to most conditions, as i guarantee it will be better than the one that is currently on there.

Thanks
