Hi All,

I have recently purchased a 1992 Polo GT Coupe....or at least that''s what im told it is....its not the tidiest of cars but it will be a nice project.
The problem I have is I know nothing about the car! IE what motor I have, where I can source parts ect.
I have had a few projects in the past and have always managed to find a guru or experts all I have come across so far is a lot of conflicting information,

Any help available would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome

Polo3.co.uk has many more mk3 owners on it than here. PoloG40.co.uk is worth registering on too

What would you like to know? Ive had 2 mk3s :D

I would like to know everything :D
to start what motor do I have? I have read a few spec sheets that mention fuel injection but my motor looks like it has a carb so that has me confused,
with the interior I plan to go the roll cage and bucket seat route so that I can figure out but where would I go to find replacement body moldings ect for the exterior?
I would like too have it looking stock from the outside and haven't had much luck tracking down any stock looking parts.

A gt has a multi injection system with a air filter box down to the front drivers side. The engine has 75bhp as standard with a shorter gear ratio.

It will have the same plastic side & wing trim as a g40 but the recaro interior came in a grey with a red, white & grey pattern on the inserts.

They come with a rev counter as well and I think from what my memory rightly tells me the engine code is ah
