its caked up in grease oil etc

 

anyway heres the car so far I think i have the wrong bonnet on

I am changing the grill I might space the wheels out and get them

done in grey

 

charger is away to get rebuilt and possibly a bit of tweeking with it

Well thats annoying

[VR6_ROB 0]

I hate the wheels they came with the car

I had a quick test drive seemed ok

 

found out it had a rear end bump

rear panel was repaired and needed a new bumper

700quid to fix so insurance wrote it off

 

I just hope its all ok

That's a late G60, so the bonnet is correct for that car.... you'll also find that it has more flared wheel arches than earlier cars (both front and rear) and that you have the later bumpers and front fogs/indicators and that your headlamps also sit flush with the front grille (which is a 5 slat grille rather than having more slats).... All standard on a J-Plate G60, so nothing to worry about there... 8)

 

Looks like a nice straight Aqua Blue G60 to me... shame to hear it's a Cat C, but if it's been repaired properly, there's no reason it shouldn't be a good 'un... :D

Me and my dad did the work when i owned the car like fitting the new charger etc, but before i owned it a few forum members had owned it and they two had done alot of work done. I fell really lucky buying this one as it was the 1st one i went to see and it had been really looked after and had some really good choice modifcations already done to it. Im after another one now like, either a 20vt one or a vr6 this time though i think.

I think theres a guide on here on how to setup a g60 like the co pot etc. Mine used to run really rich also and wasn't brilliant on fuel however it used to produce some nice flames when pushing it a bit harder :D

[VR6_ROB 0]

i would not mind a 20vt in the future not sure how much they cost to do the conversion though

do you know any mechanics who know about the g60 need to pop it in somewhere for

a cambelt

[DANG60 0]

Im not to sure mate, me and my dad did the one on mine, there is loads of guides on the internet, isnt there a vw place over in darlo? failing that volkswerk etc should be able to do it.
