  1. Yeah I'll be out Adam. Not for long, London Friday but chomping at the bit to fit my kit if it all turns up before Saturday!

    When are you re-moting?

    Make sure you buy a new a oil return pipe for the sake of £15 it's worth it

    I'll be mot it when springs turn up was hoping they would be here today but nothing :(

  2. i hope you kicked off with the seller and got some form of compensation back for mugging you off, as it was quite clear they were aware of the damage. great to see you restoring it though!

    I did let the seller no what had happened and he didn't seem to care just said sold as seen so not a lot I got do really , she will be good in the end tho

    my gt is 6L2 and i think its a great colour its my favourite out of them all

    be interesting to see what you pick in the end im lookin forward to it

    Yea I do like that 6l2 I'm still unsure what colour I'll go but keep an eye on this project will be nice !! I hope

    Popped over to see this project this evening.

    Adam has some mental commitment.. It's all sanded down and primered basically ready for paint. Engines running and healthy. Hopefully he'll have it MOT'd by next week!

    Really have a soft spot for a MK1 GT..

    Cheers Lewis I've defo got some commitment to my GT love it allready hopefully be out Thursday night if your about

    Was watching this on eBay for ages is Adam local mate?

    Yea I was aswell see it posted a few times on eBay I'm in eastbourne mate

    Loveing the work so far dude :)

    Did the wing mirrors turn up buddy?

    Cheers Micky ! Na no luck just yet hopefully 2mos

  3. Glad this is being saved, its been up on ebay for absolutely ages lol, nice to see a MK1 aswell. 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

  4. 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 up

    The 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 :(

    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-spray

    Found a picture of my old GT anyone know who has got it now ?

    Just took a few better pictures of how she sits now
