Original 1992 Volkswagen Mk3 Polo G40
« on: June 27, 2014, 10:21:44 am »
My G40 is up for sale.
I bought this car in 2008.
After being stood since 2009 after it melted piston it has had a new engine fitted (sourced from Polo Performance Parts) this engine has had the previously fitted Big Valve Head installed with VW gaskets, bolts and a new cam belt.
The car has now been in use every day since March 2014 and has been running spot on with no issues and doing around approx. 120 miles a week.
Car is generally in very good condition but could easily be made perfect with someone else’s attention and wallet… After £5k + input into this car, I can’t warrant anymore.
I’ve got back in it after the melted piston in 2009 this year and settled the score with myself so I’ll never be wondering what if before I let it go.

That includes all the pics that have been removed from the Club Polo thread due to reorganising my photobucket and the links being broken

If you go to my Photobucket link in my original post, there are pictures in there I took yesterday also showing bad points.
