Another G40 saved - Club G40 mission to dagenham

PeteG40 · February 01, 2009, 04:32:54 PM

Me and Samg40 on here tooled up, boot full of equipment to save another g40 from being, raped of parts or worse - crushed!!!

here it is -

I dropped me dad at work at 9.15am and proceeded from sheffield to dagenham. Met Junior (6n g40 - top bloke) at 2pm and went to work. I'll let the pics do the talking!

done!! and running

this is how cold it was!!

finished about 8.30pm after a few minor issues (late spec water pipe and loom, charger belt tension, gear linkage!) we were off home.

Got home about 1.30am!!!

Needs a few tweaks but it aint bad!

You're mad, but it's good to see another one saved. Especially as it's got history attached to it.

top job Pete, real good thing you did there. was that the engine out of the mk4 you had??

Alex · February 01, 2009, 09:58:28 PM

I have to ask, does the red Mk3 cry a lot, write deep poetry and listen to Evanescence?

alex - what???

er the engine is another spare i had, not out of the blue one!

samg40 · February 01, 2009, 10:16:32 PM

His red Mk3 self harms!

It was bloody cold, I'm only just starting to feel warm again. Thanks to Junior for all his help and the brews, top lad. Trust Pete to pick one of the coldest weekends to do something like this.

I nearly bought this, but held off as I want a Turbo in my life

Nice G
