Title: Searching for a mk1 g60 reg VOD736X
Post by: rodmax911 on 25 January 2010, 22:23

Hi guys.I know this is a long shot,my name is rod maxwell & back in the late 90's i built a mk1 g60.
 It was purple (techno violet) with a mk1 jetta front on it & quad round headlamps, It also had a bmw dash in it as well as a
very well detailed g60 & cable change box.The car was quite well known & was featured in a fair few mags.
I'd love to know what happened to it where it is & if poss i'd love to get it back.
The last i heard it was around the southampton area, it had been turboed & the dash had gone.
Any info would be great
Thanks again rod

Did a quick check mate and the car is not taxed or insured. It is either garaged up somewhere, or rotting away  :sad:

Good luck though.

Someone on E38 pointed me this way, had to become a member to see Rod e mail.

No replay as of yet.

With reg plate so that no one thinks its not the same car.

Should be installying 16v lumo on carbs or ITB funds depending, plans are to fit a Honda DC5 engine with box for decent power and bang per buck!
