I feel as though an update has been long overdue on the old GT, so I might as well put some info up.

So around 4-5 months ago, the box I got from Siwfc got stripped and rebuilt using some of my old gearbox to make it as good as new (lad had to use 5th out of my old box and shimmed the KAAZ LSD so no worries there).

As for some of the other stuff, minor things like the backlights for the clocks and the horn needed to be replaced.

And as for other small issues, I need to chase up a phantom gearbox oil leak and the fact that the side lights have decided to not work, but I think that's just down to the stalk unfortunately. Oh and there's a phantom misfire too whenever I go to change gears in higher revs, like a minor hesitation but is completely fine afterwards, so feedback would be appreciated.

Other than that, she's as stout as ever but I'm toying with the idea of changing what car I drive.

I can definitely agree, really nice gearbox for the price he offered it me at.

Been hit up the rear I'm afraid mate I have some pictures 

A second time? think it was hit in the rear when I bought it, DM me mate

Lovely line up there mate, still miss my black one almost all the time.

All sorted, bought Si's box

can be locked

Thanks for the offer but I'm mainly on the lookout for a c52 ideally mate.

I'll get back to you if I decide otherwise.

In need of a gearbox (preferably a C52), would be more ideal if it's a fresh recon box.

Thanks.

Might be a good time to update the thread.

she's been very reliable with nothing major going wrong on her.

Only today though, 3rd gear decided it no longer wanted to be a gear anymore and felt like jumping around inside the box, was able to limp her home fortunately so now she's out of commission until I'm able to source a box.

Looks loads better now lad.

Can't wait mate

It'll always be motivation boosting when you see a huge chunk of progress happen, It was the same when my old projects got pained.

Glad to see she's getting the care she deserves mate, can't wait to see the car in its finished state.

Managed to resolve the issue that I had, don't need one anymore

In need of an indicator stalk for the GT, Will buy the pair if it comes down to it.

Thanks.

looks perfect mate, I'm really liking how this is going

looking very tasty mate, loving it

which side wind deflector if you don't mind me asking mate?

my mum's glanza needs a new driver's side oem deflector

awesome stuff lad

good luck with the V ownership mate, you won't regret it!

looks like DM's aren't working and unfortunately I don't have instagram

it'll be fine for the time being though mate, I'll just keep my eye here

honestly mate I'd love to see it again

yeah that was the same suspension I had on the GT when I bought it, it was bad then so I can only imagine they felt like scaffolding poles lol

Quick pic of it when I had it, cadwell park 2 years ago this month

I'd never forget this little car, I owned it between December 2017 - late 2019 and I'll regret selling it on.

Glad to see it's gone to a good home, can't wait for the updates to roll in!

It’s been terrible for years now mate, awful stuff lol
