I already have some posts, but thought to make a photo post for my '91 G40.
As you see from the subject I'm living in Hungary and my G40 is one of the less than 10 G40s in the country.
Last year I started a blog about the day-to-day life with the G40 as I really didn't find any good resources about the G when it's a daily commuter.
Polo G40: Every day's a G-dayI'll pick up the story shortly where I left, as lot of things happened since.
My G-lader gave up, so had some advices here in the forum, and it's just being converted to "K03-charged".
This costs me the almost the original price of the car, so it's gonna happen in a couple of stages. First the turbo conversion, deep breath, than exhaust as I had it made in the summer, but won't be enough for the turbo, deep breath than the brakes. The camshaft might upgraded, if I won't like it with the stock G40 camshaft.
I already have made several minor repairs, and did the Golf Mk1 fender upgrade for the front (have the rear arches also, but will be made laaater...
).
That's for a start.
Some picturesBought the car with ugly 13" steels and 165/70 winter tires...
...so as springtime came I went for a set of 14" Snowflakes with 185/60s as I really did not like the original small wheel size.
I think it looks much better than with the original size.
It's winter, so the Snowflakes are gone and have 15" G60 steels with 175/55 winter tires.
I really like the Snowflakes, but the G60 wheels are just sooooo bitchin' on the the car. I was a little afraid if the 15s would dwarf the car... but the size is just perfect. I just can't wipe the smile off my face driving the car thinking how nice wheels I have.
... ... ... Ok, smiles are gone. The engine is being converted... ... will get back later with the result.
