Well i picked up shauns old GT last night,so now its time to rip it apart and put it back together again. Started to take the damaged panels off you can see in the pics,mostly held on with cable ties so that didn't take long!! :lol: Managed to make a start on the spraying off the new panels,the paint in the pics is still drying thats why its different colours.Once they are back on i gotta start on the turbo because thats well....smokey to say the least!

cool, how much did you pick it up for?

Around the asking price mate.

Sorry enzo,once i sort it out i will probably sell it on.

Sparky the wheels were black when i picked it up,they're gettin sprayed again soon but not sure what colour yet.Coilovers have a new home on my other GT now i'm afraid.

Joz,i got it in the end because the other guy couldn't raise the cash.Bit of a bargain thats for certain!

Would do more tomorrow but i'm off to the rally! So many things to do so little time to do it all! :lol:

Nice one mate. Whats wrong with the turbo? I reckon you should stick a hybrid on your old GT and put that CT9 on this one! your damn lucky to own, not 1, but 2 GT's!! Good luck with her!

Oil seals bud,it's like a smoke bomb is in the exhaust when idleing! Dunno how i got home with out being stopped! Funnily enough the hybrid idea had crossed my mind! This 2nd one is just something to keep me occupied for a while.

Will try an get some vids sparky,not got much memory on my cam as i forgot to get a card for it!! :lol:

Ok it's been a little while,had a fair bit of pissing around with the passenger headlight but it's sorted now.

This non smoking beauty turned up in the post this morning,along with half the engine! (only ordered a turbo with exhaust housing) Waited for two months for a turbo to apear and got offered two off ebay in a day!

Yeah bald tyres+rain+wall= 1 bolloxed GT! :lol: It wasn't too serious just pain in the ass to get straight enough for all the bits to line up again! Nearly all sorted now,and a potential buyer came round today so all's well for this lil GT. :lol:

oh shit, i didnt realise he'd stacked andy's old gt! never heard anything about it, thats why it was sold then!

glad to see you're bringing her back to life mate, should point andy in this threads direction :lol:

Beat you to it mate :lol:

Holy cow! :lol: My old car!!! That fills me with sadness as it still feels like its a part of me in some small way

I never tinted the head lights, might of got pulled or something

I bet he adjusted the coilovers all the way and didn't wind them down for the wet weather

I came back for rally supercar day at castle combe last year, chucking it down. turned a corner, sod all grip, just plowed straight on. good job the tyres were grippy enough to stop it before I hit anything.

Wind them down to max soft on the dampening for the wet weather. trust me, it makes all the difference :lol:

Get the beastie looking proper again

Mikey,that'd be telling ole bean! :lol:

Ichiban,it was sad seeing it all busted up,wasn't too bad but it looks a lot better now.Couldn't see a damned thing drivin it home with the tinted lights so they're in the bin now! No tread left on two tyres so that wouldn't help with the steering in the wet!

Swapped the coilovers round onto my GT today they're a bit lethal thats for sure so i'll adjust them in the morning!

Just needs the turbo fitted and an mot (hoping that theres not much needs doing)then she'll be nearly good as new,got 3 people interested and it hasn't even been off my driveway or offered up for sale yet! :lol:
