tanveer21 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) set off 6am on saturday morning two weeks ago to buy my self a gt turbo again, leicester to carlisle was a long train journey and a drive back too. head gasket failed on the way home but just made it back. set about sorting the problem and replaced all gaskets and seals while the head was off. thought id get a build thread up as theres quite a bit more happening over the next few months.. first pic with black wheels is as i got it. got the new circuits on friday... should have a few more updates within the next couple of weeks...

lew777 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Looks a mint GT but that engine bay is rough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tanveer21 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Looks a mint GT but that engine bay is rough. engine bay is a real mess. the previous owner must have let the rad explode multiple times as there is coolant stains everywhere. engine bay will be getting a propper clean but needs loads of little things like a propper air filter relocation kit not a plastic efi pipe chopped to bits, wiring needs tidying up majorly too and theres that silly manual boost controller setup!!
