New polo.
This is how it started off
So i got it back to the unit as this was going to be a weekend project. Then started to take it apart...
Picked up a py lump in Feb 09
Engine needs a rebuild most parts have now been sourced.
Been making little progress as i don't get much time to work on the car. Bottom end has been stripped ready to be sent off, the gt/g40 rear axle has been rebuilt, cleaned up and painted a few bits, some of the sealant has been stripped from where the front wings sit due to abit of surface rust.
Next on list of things to do get it outside for a good clean and get the engine bay stitched up. :-p
Slowly getting there brake lines have been removed drivers arch has been sprayed, leggs have been sprayed and a cheap 60/80 kit is being fitted for the moment so i can move it around. Still got to spray the other archs once the little bits of rust have been sorted.
Heres how its looking
Found this picture on a french site from bug jam 2008
Would like to see this back on the road by the end of 2010
Finally a little progress I've brought a friends charger off him as he was breaking his G40 due to melted piston.
We came to a price and my help breaking his car I've got some uprated engine mounts which he had made a few years ago, New harder rear beam bushes which was made from the same company that did the engine mounts, Steering damper, New leads, New Plugs, Sensors, Salzmann adjustable top mounts, fuel lines, G60 injectors, 65mm charger pulley, filter etc.
Also on the cards I'm looking to buy his gearbox with a quaife diff setup for track use.
Thanks to 10pin I've now got a 3f inlet manifold which i gave a little going over just need to get up to the unit to finish it off.
Gonna start getting my ass in gear and get the front end cut for the boost pipes, inter cooler and oil cooler.
The car will now be sitting on Gaz coil overs in a few weeks time they all need a good clean first.
Just a quick snap
Also one of the top mounts
Plan is to send the block and head off to
Rob Walkers Machine Shop Thinking of going for a full lighten and balance, honed, block decked.
Back on the floor
Temp wheels to roll on
Hope to get it over the pit soon for a lick of paint.
