Rolling Shell
« on: October 01, 2014, 02:43:50 pm »
Ok, so i think i am getting to the stage where i need a shell, countdown has begun on the house i am currently in so i have 30 days to amass my polo parts and put them into another shell.

  • Needs to be solid and rolling
  • Grey, blue and black are preferential but will take anything
  • doesn't have to be a genuine G shell, and open to anything from the mk2 era

I can pick up but would prefer as close to the North east as possible

Cheers

It is a magnificent shell but unfortunately i don't have the extra coin needed to buy the engine as well, but my pistons turned up today so may have a rebuilt engine in a few weeks

I've got a G40 shell I could part with, could let it go as a rolling shell but it would have a standard rear beam on it.
