Craig_T Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 You any good at fabrication? You technically minded?Pics of car and said holes?I'd be swaying towards the no side, for £250 it sounds expensive for the work need doing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 They are awesome, powerful little machines but they are all rotten. If you find a good one it won't last long as they ate weak shells. My cousin had around 7 of them before buying his Starlet GT. They rev really well too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(NAS) starlet ep82 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 ive had 9 swift gti's in my driving career over 4 years, & tbh for a 1.3 twincam with 101bhp they are the ultimate pocket rockets of all time for the size of the engine..my last gti was apparently the mintest in uk (might have seen on p-heads.com last year) last year i had a 99'v shell with gti engine n t3/t4 turbo fully forged making 287hp @ 1.8bar.. (wasn't very reliable after 6 months tho)i wud have another gti anyday as a second car, bt wud hav to be mint ;) tbh mate £250 is a very cheap price for a gti, especially as they are uber rare now..i would sack it rite away.. ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
