Spec: This is my '94 original G40 (Reshelled) I brought her after she was wrecked in a roll back in January 2012 and transplated everything across to a solid 91'CL shell in Alpine white including Engine, Gear box, ECU, Clocks, brake system, front end running gear & rear beam. I also upgraded and refreshed many parts throughout the build.
Original 1272cc block with standard internals and head.
Jabba sport R1 spec G-lader serviced with new bearings, seals and toothed belt and run in a few hundred miles roughly. Brought from member Djtez, who had it rebuilt by yoof, and then run in by PeteG40.
So apart from that, its a freshly serviced charger ready to boost hard.
New braided hose oil feed from block to charger. New charger out let rubber, and full front mount I/C fitted infront of the rad with rerouted pipe work through O/S inner wing & new slim line fan fitted to rad.
PSD Toothed pully set-up 63mm I think, and believed to be phase 2 with a fresh belt from peteg40.
Brand new NGK (****) Spark plugs (not yet fitted), new leads, rotar arm and distributor cap
Jabba Sport green filter induction kit .Aprox 3000km
Re-studded exhaust manifold with fresh gasket, fresh gasket on the inlet T/B and manifold, new head gasket. Comes with a decat 2-1 downpipe from a GT, but the cat downpipe is currently fitted.
Fresh oil, and oil filter. Coolant flush. 1000k ago
Brand new up-rated fuel pump
PPP G40 chip, but have no idea on power, as i have never had her tested. I could imagine some where up around the 140-150 bhp area.
1000km ago front discs, front pads, rear pads and handbrake cable replaced and fresh brake fluid. Water pump and gasket replaced with timing belt.
Chassis: Brand new H&R Cup 60/40 kit, new front & rear topmounts, rear axel bushes, Tca bushes, G-lader ARB blocks. Selfmade front Chassis brace (Tca > Tca mount) and front radiator support upgraded for a stiffer front end. Running 13" BBS RA's with good rubber all round.
Interior: The interior is from a GT model with the double folding rear bench and is in good used condition. Gt/G40 steering wheel, G40 motorsport gear knob, CD player with Pioneer dash hidden dash speakers. Stack oil pressure and boost guage mounted in central console
Body work: I repaired the battery tray (common area of rust) with fresh metal, under seal and fresh top coat & the wiring in the scuttle/bay has been tidied up and routed in a nice way. The orgional washer bottle is not fitted as the I/C pipe runs where it once sat. Now it will have a washed bag with motor installed for the MOT.
The sills have been cleaned up and painted with underseal. The underside is in good condition mostly, although there are a few areas that could use a clean up and undersealing. The fuel tank has never been changed, so maybe this is something to consider for the future.
The body work in general is well aged, with scraches, car parking dents (front drivers wing & the bootlid are the 2 worst) I will include a NOS and original D/S wing in the sale, and also paint and fit it if i have time in the next months. I had plans of slowly replacing part for part over the years and restoring her fully, but things change and she has been sat up inside a dry garage for the last few years. The charger and the block where all oiled often and always pumped oil fully throughout the system before starting her up again and left to warm up slowly.
This is a rough advert of the car and spec based on what I can remember from a year ago, once I check through the folder of reciepts and history that comes with the car, I can add a more detailed description, but this is a general over view of the car.
Any questions are welcomed and I will answer with the best of my knowledge.
I am currently living in Germany and travelling here and there & the car is located back home in Norfolk, England. So If there is the right interest from someone, I will of course arrange a viewing and if you are wanting to buy her, I will come in person and do the deal myself, with a fresh MOT.
Reason for selling is the same as alot of people here, I just dont have the time to drive her at the moment and I wish that someone would enjoy her and have some summer B road fun . Plus I am looking to fund a T4 van here in Germany for travelling so its time to part. I have put alot into her over the past years, and have done everything to a high standard.
Price. £2200 with full MOT, cash only and no swaps this time.
