hello chaps
my name is Olly, aka olethalb or polo6n2g40 from clubpolo
i've owned a few G40's, red, black and capri green. i've also done a few g40 conversions - mk1 golf g40, polo 6n g40, gt g40 and as cp username suggests the infamous polo 6n2 gti g40.
around 10 years ago i built a mk1 golf g40 for a mate after he wrote his G off and the deal was if he sold it i'd buy it. after hime using the car daily for a year or so, then left it sat on his drive for 6 years, he then took it to jabba who had it for a year to fit new fuel tank / pump, injectors and custom map - £2.5k later he had it back and 2 days later took me out for a 'blast' this resulted in turn at high speed into gridlock traffic and the rear end of an old school land rover
so....it was now clear i wouldn't get to buy the car so decided i'd look into getting another one sorted. after selling my touran a had a few quid floating around and found an unfinished mk1 golf series 1 with g40 engine sat in the bay - when the ad said unfinished it meant never finished / started and 80% of the car missing
£3k later i made the purchase blind and had it delivered. this was the 18th Jan 14 and i've been peicing it back together since
