Adam-Gt- Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) Well I thought I may aswell make a little progress blog of my mk1 glowbadge GT I bought her end of August of eBay , I was looking for glow badge as I've all wanted one and this one popped upThe body work was awfull but i had plans of making her shine again !! But on the way home the oil return pipe split causing it to chew the big ends This is how she looked when I got her After I got her recovered she went straight in my lock up and engine was out that day on a engine stand to see if it could be saved but damage had gone to far I sourced an engine and got it in there and running And this is how she looks now , not very pretty but it's work in progress Don't ask me what colour I'm going to re spray her as I can't make up my mind Im concentrating on making her solid first and everything mechanically is sweet before I pay out for a full re-sprayFound a picture of my old GT anyone know who has got it now ? Just took a few better pictures of how she sits now Update (time for some paint) 31/12/1314/1/14Nearly ready for to be taken to paint shop Edited August 5, 2014 by Adam-Gt- Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That colour above looks like Toyota 185 which was only found on the MK1s.Yea I see it on eBay twice first time I didn't win it but then was re-listed due to time waster then I won it that time She has been neglected over the years from previous owner by the amount of mud I've pulled out of this thing i think it's been rallyed The off side sill was rotten but I've had a whole new sill put on it and any little rust I find I've sorted out I wanna keep my mk1 in an orignal colour I'll either do it that burgundy colour or the gunmetal grey above Quote Link to post Share on other sites
