cheers mate will be quite a few in the next few days just dreading the wiring looms i hate em the_sly_ep helped me alot today aswell cheers mate

No worries fella, we'll crack on with the loom tomorrow...

I like the diy spraying wish i could get 2 gt's in my garage lol build is looking spot on mate

Thanks man, I would have paid a spray shop to do it because they add hardener to the paint but just haven't got the cash and after seeing how rinseep82's came out I knew I would be happy with the results I'm just lucky to have the garage..

good lord! your fixing it up a treat.

thanx for sorting this ep and giving her what she deserves. subscribed.

The '85 definately deserves fixing up, just a pity it's to the dimise of the '82 but the results will be worth it

awesome man and super speedy work

Cheers dude, I'm racing against the clock as the tax and insurance on my Polo is due at the end of this month so it's the ideal time to get the '85 on the road..

Nice work guys

Looking smart

^^Cheers lads^^

Satin black, us Carlton lads were getting withdrawal symptoms from not having a Satin Starlet knocking about lol

The Rinse is getting ready for a second rattle can spray painting session haha

Swapped my GT doors on to the '85 today:

Standard '85 doors:

Although my GT doors have electric windows and ofcourse the driver's side motor has packed in (common fault), so I decided to replace them with the manual winders from the EP85:

Motors in GT doors:

Manual mechanism from '85:

But as I found out after a few minutes of getting nowhere, one of the mounts is in a different place on the '85 windows to those of the GT ('85 glass at the back, GT at the front):

Doors sorted:

Also managed to strip, prep and mask the car up ready for primer:

Some rust to be ground off:

Bit of the old filler:

Then mask her up:

More updates soon!

That engine bay is sparkling, looks like a brand new car straight off the production line! Oh and 2x Takatas is just rude pal ;)

Awesome GT

Looks awesome fella! Sun roof wind deflectors must be rare as well aren't they? Don't see many of them about

I've got 1 fella:

Interested in these also???

Got brackets for them as well

Any good???

Came on the boot of the 85 I bought off Quadcorecraig...

I got a set of Rota Slipstreams???

PM me

Big Update!

Very recently bought Quadcorecraig's EP85 off him:

So now the 4EFTE conversion and satin black re-spray begins...

Made a start with the exterior today removing the MK1 bumper that came on the car to make way for my LiveSports bumper. Realising my bumper bar was a mangled heap, I decided to swap it along with the square light brackets for quadlight brackets off my MK3 GT:

LiveSports bumper test fit:

With little adjustment needed (thanks to Idrees's awesome moulds ) all I needed to do was shave a little off the bumper where it bolts under the arches and drill the holes for the bolts:

Other than that me and The Rinse set to work on my tailgate and rear splitter, rubbing each down, adding a little filler to the tailgate and then primed them both:

Hopefully GT doors will be fitted tomorrow and rails cut off the EP85 seats and fitted to my GT seats

Payment sent

Can I still get my name down for a weekend ticket???

Sly

Gotta be one of the best MK1s! Glad you kept the square lights, personally I'm not keen on reverse scoops though..

I've got 1 for sale, same trim and only down the road if you're still looking?

Let me know

Cheers man, bout time I got back on it! More updates very soon

About time for an update.. it's been an age because I have been rolling around in a shit arse VW Polio but now it's summer it's time to get my arse into gear and my GT back on the road.

Here's a few pics on the work that me and rinseep82 have been doing;

For starters my jam bonnet needed repairing...

Does not look too bad from the pic but there was a huge crack across the skin.

Here you can see rinseep82 has drilled holes through and around the crack in order to ensure the fibre glass resin sealed the crack.

Also removed bonnet pins and fibre glassed the holes that remained. Then gave it a block with some wet and dry:

Now time to add the filler:

Once the filler was set we needed to sand off the excess:

Then to give the filler a smooth finish:

..and then added primer to see any imperfections.

Next update to come soon

SSQVs can't be adjusted - try taking the fin out

wish mine had a blue cage in it howd it look kendz ?? sick?

Then stop bein a lil bitch n get 1 bought lol

Only caught a glimpse but yeah looked the dog's danglies! Probably a cusco cage cause looked like it was painted cusco blue..

Not see this one before!

Me neither, can't have been RYPIEGLANZAV cause his aint caged and he works away in the week anyhow...

Anyone?

Saw ya givin it some beans up Rotherham Baulk in Carlton.. sounded well

Anyone on here?

yeah i wondered how that big clamp style thing worked, then i saw idrees one lol

ive got turbosmart

The same style clamps are used to secure the turbo compressor housing to the exhaust housing.

Make sure you buy from a registered Turbosmart / Tial retailer... there are alot of fakes out there, especially on ebay!
