1991 Atlas Grey Polo G40 converted (GT Shell)

Featured Replies

Right where do i start! I bought this car last year from a guy on here and since then it has changed a fair bit, i have loved every second of owning it and have always dreamed of owning a G40 as it was the ultimate for me but since buying an MX5 to start drifting it has opened me up to the world of RWD.

The GT shell has roughly 120k on it and is not showing any major rust although it has a few dinks from lovely people at supermarket car parks. The car was originally red but has been resprayed in Atlas Grey but is not great. It has smoothed door handles so they operate on a solenoid off of the keyfob.

The engine conversion was carried out by a company called Radicool by a previous owner. Since owning the car I have spent over £4000 getting the car running to my standards (all receipts to prove). Originally rolling roaded at 176bhp before I got my hands on it with print out to prove!
