new ppp manifold is on its way+it goes in tomoz for a new custom made exhaust (i want a bigger bore pipe rather than a standard size pipe with a back box)

costing me loads as the manifold is £360 and the new exhaust it £390 :-(

the car is worth it tho!

car looks sweet! really good condition 8-) how much did the car set you back? (i apologize if it says in here somewhere)

only the best! Good job :)

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, you lucky shit. i want one now, and that my friend... is a minter!

You should see it in person! The photos dont do it justice :)

He's been stopped at least 4 times recently with people asking about the car. :lol:

All part of owning a g40... emptying your wallet ;)

looks clean but needs some powercoating and some polished bits ;)

It's all going to be sorted at some point,I want to do the main bits first, pretty much everything to get it to the power apart from boost return mod, I have a massive folder full of receipts, I'm not to clued up on the g40 mods lol,the car is in the garage at the moment as I've

Just snapped a manifold bolt off and it's still in the head!!! I do honestly feel strange without the car, I work for VW and do a bit of driving but all the cars feel slow and not very fun lol

so shes back,

a few horses up too i hope!

going to take it around castle coomb soon and a run what you brung day at the pod too.

(in the pictures is a little dirty as I've trecked to the forest of dean) all thats left to do now is a retrim, i sourced the products i want to use and know were i need to get them from so thats the next purchase (apart from the audio, nothing special tho) only cost me £400 to get it back to wich isnt to bad i think for the amount of work thats involved.

going to clean it on the weekend and get some more nice pictures!

i'm still a fan of this, Its so clean.

Near cross keys pub, the G had no interior in when I bought it but it was too loud for me (even tho it's loud anyway)

So I put it all back in, think I might remove it again tho and make everything look neat inside, still not sure tho!
