RichyGT

Or pm me if you decide to sell mate, cant afford a gt at the minute but would like to have the car so i can put the engine in myself when funds allow. I miss my old one Rich

go for coke and tin foil, apperently that works really well on polished stuff

The one with 1260 on is mine. I went and got tax like a week ago and there was no problem and insurance know what car and cc it is so it doesnt matter if its wrong on the v5.

nice one mate, have to have a meet up for some pics if u do

well mines had a fair bit done to it and i drive it to derby and back from leicester all week and love it.

Gonna get some d2 coilovers but has anybody used this company before. dont wanna have my pants pulled down by them so thought i'd do a bit of rsearch first. http ://cgi.ebay.co.uk/D2-Adjustable-Suspen...QQcmdZViewItem thanks folks

took a couple more pics yesterday and also went to rwyb at pod, first ever run for me and got a 15.3 which i was pleased with. But after that the best i could get was a 15.2 It was getting a bit damp when i got there at 8 and i was really struggling for grip so on a better day i reckon high 14's are possible. Also been looking at possibilities of how i want her to look and i've come up with two, just wanted to see what you all thought. Just a quick couple of p-shops

add me on im 90% sure i'll be coming down since theres a lot going, will be good for pics

cheers peoples, want some coilovers and wheels then fmic, rrfpr, hks actuator. Plus i've got that engine in my garage if you remember cal so that the ongoing project bit. for tonight im off to rwyb i think to see what time i can get, watch this space.

As most of you will know (thanks to cals big mouth lol) i bought ians GT a few weeks back as a bit of an ongoing project. I wanted a mint one with the intentions of keeping it mint but adding my own touch to it. I've had a couple of problems with it. two days after getting it i got back from uni and was hearing a knocking from the rear wheel so jacked it up to find the nuts were literally hanging off :eek: No fault of Ians as he didnt take the wheel off prior. But im glad to have it sorted ad still be alive lol Second problem, as its a new car and its got a pretty high bite i've stalled a cu

its looking awesome mate, i'll be reading through this for tips on my build

So been busy today, now i know im using the black shell i know i can strip the white one down completely for parts so got going today. Like an idiot i didnt check the cars for ecu's and just assumed they wouldnt have one as theyd been stripped of a lot of bits. So I went a bought one and then after 5 minutes work i find it still there ;), Then I carried on stripping the beast down. Started like this Then got to this Then this Couple of shots of the engine in the white one Anyone need any interior bits let me know

cheers mate, sprayed the polo twice as didnt get it quite right first time. had to strip it right back again, so yeah it did take ages. Will update quite quickly so keep an eye on it.

So as some of you may hav read in my welcome section thread My names Rich and Im studying Motorsport Tech at Derby Uni. I've wanted a gt for ages as a project and then i got offered these two at a bit of a bargain price so i thought i'd have them and do a full rebuild from scratch as my Uni project and also as a learning experience. I got offered 2 gt's that had been scrapped with 3 engines and 2 gearboxes so i decided to have them as my project. The original plan was to repair the white one and rebuild it but after getting some quotes from people at how much it would cost I have decide

thanks for the welcome people. hopefully when the project is done i can meet some of you at some shows
