Title: Hello from France
Post by: Franck BRUNEAUX on November 07, 2018, 01:57:18 pm
Hello,

I'm Franck and I'm a G40 fan since 1988. My first new car was a G40 and since 3 years now, I'm the owner of one of the 500 G40 made for France betwin 1988 and 1989.
This is the 259/500. This car is "full stock" .
My english is not very good so why it's not possible to speak a lot with you, but maybe, we could exchange about our passion throught several photos.
Some photos of my car:

Yes, the cut out on the front panel is made to get the access to the "G".

By this way, you can streach the belt of the G charger, or do the other things you need to do on.

Hello,

Yes this Polo is with vented disc:

In 1989, cars weren't catalised. It's the reason why à G40 MK2 give 115 hp and a G40 MK3 (built in 1991) give 113 hp with the same engine (code engine PY)

See you
