Well the time has come, im sure most of you know me/the car but ill do a proper write up for people who dont
Ive owned My G40 for two years now (longest ive owned the same car by a dam long time ha)
Its been great fun, is like a little go kart! even in totally stock form its surprisingly fast!! ive travelled 3000 miles round europe, to Switzerland, france and italy as well as a road trip around wales
This is a genuine original totally stock (bar the ride height G40) as most will know these are becoming rather rare! especially in such lovely condition
onto the car
The bodywork is very very clean! it has had a doors off windows out respray around a year ago and the paint looks lovely and clean still. there are a few stone chips and a couple of tiny car park dings since the respray but is very minor. the current sunroof hasnt been sprayed, however when i painted it i bought a new sunroof, deflector and arms, it just needs fitting.
The front panel has a few rust spots as it wasn't painted when the car was sprayed
all the glass is genuine vw glass and all original
The engine was rebuilt around 500 miles ago, the head was stripped de coked and cleaned, valves lapped in, alloy bead blasted, new stem seals and rebuild. the block was checked and new main bearings as well as big end bearings were fitted, new metal head gasket and head bolts
Here is a list of all the things ive replaced

theres loads more stuff
As you can tell ive spent a serious amount on the car and its been well looked after
There are a few niggly bits but they are only minor
The rear badge says "o g40" as the pol bit has broken off unfortunately
the drivers door hinge is a little worn and the door drops a little, but its hardly noticeable and a new hinge from vw heritage is only £7.50!
The wheels are curbed a minor amount
The roof aerial base has broken so there is a grommet in at the moment to make it water tight, however decent replicas can be purchased
They are the ONLY bad bits i can fault with the car (and im mega anal!)
As you can imagine the engine runs absolutely spot on with a rebuilt engine, ive set the co pot properly with a gas analyzer so runs really well
Mileage 129k dont let that put you off, its actually quite low compared to most g40's haha
5 months tax
will have 12 months mot when sold
