Bluebear Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yeah, but I like the look of the GT's better ;PPlus I need the N/A nearly all the time, and couldn't afford to have it off the road if I did go for a conversion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Puts a smile on my face whenever I walk up the drive now. It feels like half the project is done, but only because thats the only bit I can see Also, Dad was in Halfords the other day and he thinks he found what colour the guy used. Ford Panther Black, apparently used on quite a few cars. It looks nice like, almost a v. dark blue in sunlight, and v. fine metal flakes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nanglebadger Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 nice one dude!u keeping the decals or goin for the clean look?Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Decals are coming off, making a fresh start of it, as the factory tints have also bubbled and started peeling, so I'm gonna get it retinted when it's on the road.And as for the wiper, it would look nice without one, but I wouldn't be able to live without being able to clean my rear screen. Sad, I know! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bluebear Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hell no. Gonna get it cleaned out on the inside this weekend because it's full of shit like polystyrene takeout boxes and something mouldy (I can't identify it. It's ball shaped). Hopefully get most of the interior stipped too, the stuff I want to replace anyway (doorcards, rear bench, anything else with the godawful 'retrim'.Got a set of lights, grille, and indicator units for the front from Nathy Boy, not planning on fitting those until the engine has been out, bay sorted, and back in.

Bluebear Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Is it frig. Still getting money together so I can get a new clutch bought. Plus dad needs to construct a makeshift shed whenever he has time so we can roll it into the back garden, and start getting the engine out and sorting out the wiring.

Bluebear Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Picked up front and rear doorcards, and rear bench tonight, courtesy of Rik! Also put some money down for his ORC309 clutch, as the GT needs one, and at least it'll futureproof it on any upgrades (although those won't be for some time!).Hopefully get to work on the interior this weekend. If anyone has GT A-Pillar plastic trims, I'd love to know! And a gearstick gaiter. And a steering wheel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bluebear Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Small update! Since the weather has been so nice, theres actually been some activity going on around the GT!Passenger front wing on, shabby front doorcards out and the ones I bought from Rik are in! Those optional door speaker pods need filling now Also put on the mirrors, as having the doorcards off allowed me to connect the electrics up.Plan of attack for this afternoon is to at least get the old rear bench out and the replacement in, possibly do the rear doorcards at the same time, as it'll make it easier.

Bluebear Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 Well, it happened later than I said, but it got done today. Rear bench out, and doorcards. Also had to get rid of the sound install that was in the rear, as it was manky and battered and corroded, so thats the Sony 10-CD autochanger and an amp that I can't remember the brand of in the wheelie bin then! Keeping the parcel shelf speakers however, as they seem in good nick, so I left the wires for them alone. Had a root about in the boot after the seats went, I might need some boot plastics as they're battered (the passenger side is smashed anyway), but the original space-saver is still there, which is nice.Finished off the day by putting in the replacement rear passenger plastics.Plan for tomorrow:- Rear bench in.- Try and remove the cables leading to the rear from the car altogether.
