LiamD Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Right, had a little bit of a road trip today to pick up the body panels I bought from a guy in Edinburgh. Yes, that's a 4 hour journey from me... for some body panels Anyway, we started at 9am, to tow the G40 over to my mates workshop. Due to a very suspicious puddle of oil we decided against starting the car up, and instead, we nipped off to Motorworld to pick up a towing bar to tow it the 40 miles from my home to Darlington.My Dad, being a HGV driver, isn't too sympathetic with towing, we built up a decent speed behind his van.Now, remember I said he wasn't too sympathetic with the towing. Leaving the Preston Farm Audi garage, the towing bar bent... and with very rusty brakes it was quite an interesting moment. With a hammer, we bent it back into place and got back on our way... until, we got to Croft racing circuit, and it unhooked AGAIN. With more hammer work we got it there and got it to Andy & Andy's workshop, which will be it's new home for a while.My mate texted me this - note the bucket placement The plan for when it's there is the following -*Fit the intercooler, not fussed how, function over fashion here.*Fit my harnesses properly so they are safe - Andy Leigh is a scrutineer at York Raceway, so I thought this was best left to someone who knows.*Remove and see whats wrong with my G-Lader*IF (big if) the charger is fine, make the car work... lol.I would liked to have taken more pics in the unit, but some well known cars are in there, and to keep them under wraps I thought it was best not to take pics. So, it's now lunchtime, and we were heading a long way North to South Queensferry, in Edinburgh, to pick up a bonnet, two wings and a slam panel for the Polo. This is a good 4 hour long journey, just to get there... oh, and we didn't even have a sat nav...Anyone who's ever gone to Scotland via the A1 will recognise these two sites -Eventually though...Forth road bridge in the distanceThe journey home... more speed cameras...Got bored, 30 second exposure + bumpy road =Home sweet home and this I what I got -Cheeky bonus the wings had the repeators smoothed out, there's a little bit of rust, but a LOT less than my original onesSlam panelBonnet, still wrapped up so I don't damage it!! HahaAnyway, that was my little day out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamD Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Well did some shiz today.Had a little road trip down to AW Tracksport in Horncastle, which is the cars new home for a while. First stop was the petrol station, as it was running on fumes, now anyone who's ever owned a Mk3 Polo (and being quite tall) will tell you that you get back ache from filling up with petrol, well, I have a solution...Take it in on a trailor, no back ache, and lots of funny looks!Then we got onto the A19 and... BOSHYeah, so basically, the car is with AW Tracksport, he's really trying to do it for GTi Spring Fest but time is really tight, he has lots of other cars to do as well. I didn't take any pics there because I got a little excited and didn't really want to Got a nice rolling shot of a Mk6 Golf on the way home...I'll update this in two weeks time...Oh yeah, bought a nice clean set of P-Slots and centre caps, new tyres too... 70 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sian-Marie Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Was that the crash you text me and told me about?If Eugene's not done for Spring fest we'll race the polo's down - if you can keep up that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
