well helloo people, as the title says, and this is my gt, i'm on the hunt for a g40, I LOVE the older polo's i have had a 1.0 mk2 parade a temporary 1994 6n (for a month, was too new for me!) then found a nice mk2 coupe S with a GT engine and had to have it! so here it is:

Engine

* 1.3 3F GT.
* Removed from an embarrassingly tidy GT and having covered 70,482 miles 1995 of the donor vehicle
* The engine is completely standard apart (including the GT exhaust) from a slightly drilled airbox and a de-cat pipe. Everything was cleaned when it was returned to the engine bay and the rev counter has been wired in.
* The cambelt was replaced when the engine was installed and new earth leads have been fitted, along with a new coil pack, plugs, leads, fully synth VAG oil and MANN filter, dist. cap, rotor arm, air filter, fuel filter, AFM, all vacuum pipes, rocker cover gasket, header tank, heater matrix, starter motor, clutch cable, semi-synth gearbox oil, gear linkage kit, coolant temp sensor and exhaust mounts.



Suspension - Wheels

* Phil J kit 40/40, Front end also fitted with Supersport 10mm lowering caps.
* All rubber for the front end of the vehicle was replaced - lower track arms, one steering tie rod end and CV boot, and all 4 anti-roll bar bushes.
* Mk3 GT rear axle.
* Revolution RFX 13" rims, with 175/50 R13 Slime Astars

* Original front, VW, dealer-fit, rubber mats
* Checkered interior
* Rear flooring (from a breadvan...van)

welcome to the forum.

Interesting car, I think it'd look a lot better with the bumpers back on though.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I think the car looked really great in the "before" pics, nice spec too. The full GT conversion makes for a really lively and fun drive too, plus personally I much prefer the look of mk2's!
Get a G40 motor installed in the mk2, win win situation!
The fact its not a G40 shouldn't mean you can't enjoy and be proud of it either.
Nice work and keep us posted.
Cheers,
Richard.

Welcome.

I prefer the car with bumpers too but each to their own.

Do like the rims though.
