My Mint ep82 Gt Limited


Recommended Posts

I bought this just over a year ago. Always wanted a good clean one.

This time a mint ep82 starlet gt turbo.

It has one owner since imported 6 years ago. Geniune 140kms.

It started life as a gt limited. The last owner respayed it fully in the orginal 205 black.

Not even a stone chip on it.

It needs a few very small jobs done to it. There is a lot of new stuff already on the car.

Car is fairly standard bar lowering springs autobahn fmic and a axle back exhaust.

Plans are nice set of wheels and few mild engine mods.

Few option extra one it and i have a few bits here to go on to it.

Sorry for the poor pics.

Id rather it all black. It has all the gt limited goodies so best of both worlds.

Must get up proper pics as the car is all cleaned up.

I think the two tone looks a lot better on the mk3 quad light model.

looks mint! that engine bay needs a good clean though!!

did the old exhaust have a stamp on the back box, who made it?

one of those carpet cleaners that you can hire should clean that boot mat up.
