So picked it up on monday with LOTS of plans!

Its a 1994 M-Plate Arctic Blue Polo Parade - 1litre 4speed on 31k.

Josh - mad isnt it...hardly any of these about and we both land on M774!

Neil - Chasis legs are immaculate must jsut be the pic! Does need a tidy up but sure it'l belooking epic in no time... colour doesnt look half as good in the pics as in real life!

Fitted G40 interior today... much nicer place to sit now and the bizarre G40 interior colour scheme actually works with the blue!

New engine planned for the new year!!!

WANT!!!! love the colour and not many about in that colour either ;)

Nice find mate and a good little tale to go with it.

I'm definitely coming down your way soon 8-)

Quick pic with the majority of the G interior in... IMO it works pretty well with the Blue!

G40 Four Branch and straight through G40 exhaust to go on mid week... sidey is great fun but not for 70mile commute or for the neighbours!

I know it pointless putting a 4branch on a one litre but its just what I have lying around and it'l bolt straight on to the new engine when it goes in!

yeah Barney get down for a chill one weekend...

VW+SWFC=:) - cheers mate been mytherin Josh to sell me his for time haha! seems that this has been in my town all its life but rarely driven so I never saw it!!!

Cheers,

Dubwheeler - yeah they are rallye specials I believe 13*8's are ET 0 they sit perfectly with a 175/50 on the drivers side but passengers is wider on mk2F's so sit slightly out of the arch...

B-Shaw - the rears are but I was running 8's&6's on the black G. but now running 7's&8's on bluey n 6&7's on the black G... till I can afford something a little more special for it!

Sick!!! /\/\/\
