Out of retirement

[Dan-G40]

Brought the G40 out of retirement today, spent 2.5hrs cleaning and polishing her... taxed, tested and insured last week on classic policy...

177 horses under the bonnet before the Forged Piston rebuild, just need to run her in then book in with the PPP boys for a remap

Compliments are due Dan; now you'll have to stand with an umberella over it to keep the birdshit off. Enjoy.

[Dan-G40]

Nice looking Gee dude, very clean!

What capacity you running, still a 1272?

177BHP on a classic policy? I assume they don't know about the additional ponies then? I always thought classic policies meant the car must be in factory spec (give or take minor bits, e.g. parts that aren't available anymore/ fabricated)

Not at all. My mk1 Golfs on a classic policy with flux. Was 240 last year. They're quoting me 300 for next year fully comp with cover to drive other cars.

Mods include everything iv done:

1.3L engine swap
Coilies
Uprated brakes
Wheels
Cant think of the full spec off hand, but even fitting a roll cage was not an issue.

I suppose their has to be a bright side to the G40 becoming rapidly "obsolete" down at the stealers!

Ooohh, well I never knew that! This opens up a whole new avenue of stuff that'd be worth looking at. I wonder how many 205 rotbox GTI's are left? I'd like one of them with the MI16 lump in it, before it rots and falls out

wow lovely clean black g40

such a fresh example and would never guess hiding a rampant 177bhp..

dont suppose youve got a spec list about have you ?

[G40 AD]

Lovely looking car mate... bet its some.serious fun and stealthy too!
