The brakes were nasty even when new, postage stamp sized pads. later G40s had better hubs with decent calipers. The 1.4 golf mk3 engine is the biggest that uses the same mounts. Back in the day I went from one of these to a mk2 16v golf and scared the curse word out of myself with the speed difference

had a red one, in 93-97, did 100k in it, just couldn't kill it. It ended up with a spare Janspeed exhaust i had that was for a mini cut and shut to fit. Sold it to a guy with 160k on it eventually. I did weld up about 20% of it even back then

Retropower's other work looks good, I think this is more of a client with odd whims dictating some of the solutions. Having said that the interior is really horrible but I think they were aiming for this style

i think insisting on glass for a windscreen is to do with scratching from the wipers. Imagine a dusty sandy windscreen and an opaque finish after you use your wipers

The retropower build is an odd one, bespoke decisions to please a client who doesn't want it anymore, but it's a bit too unusual to sit at the top of a straight replica market. I'm sure all of the work is excellent but as you say it didn't make me want it more than a nice stock version

Get well soon man, get checked out for epilepsy while you are in, if you have no memory there may have been an issue First of all, get well soon. Looks nasty and could have been much worse. On the subject of epilepsy I went for tests and ended up with the most excruciating experience I’ve had to deal with My mate is a Lorry driver and had a similar experience, it took 2 years to get the all clear
