Whitenoize Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Well as some of you know ive been after a gt for a while now and nothing decent has came up and I've no car at the min and it sucks so went and got this tonight for a run around as it was local to me and has quite a good spec I'm sure some of you will know the car.. Plan is to do absolutely nothing to it lol so it not really a progress blog lol I'm going to work in Canada for 6 months in aug so will sell it before I go and continue the hunt for the one when I get back anyway here's a few pictures Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kyle_R Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Not a bad looking GT. What did you get it for pal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 The car had a slight misfire higher up the revs when I took it a drive knew it was nothing serious and got it for a very good price.. the spec is quite impressive tbh so took a chance on it.. Turns out it was an easy fix Got it back to camp to find the engine covered in oil one of the fittings on the race spec rocker was pissing oil and the spark plugs wer half full...got it all out with a shit load of kitchen roll cleaned the plugs and leads and it's solved the problem nice easy fix Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 It's rough lads don't be fooled .. the boot is rotten but he did give me a decent boot with the car ideally need a re spray but I'm not even going to bother it just some temporary boost till I find a minter Not a bad looking GT. What did you get it for palThat would be telling buddy lol ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whitenoize Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Give this a good clean today and a bit of love..it's actually not that bad tbh I doubt it's had a wash and a polish in at least a year.. Anyone know the actuall colour of the car is it a toyota red?? Need to try and get some touch up paint.. Will put some pictures up tomorrow need do do the wheels with compound as wheel cleaner just wouldn't shift the crap on them.. Oh and this came from japan today only ordered it in sat quite impressive for it to get here in a few days.. Love a good cruise knob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lew91 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Is it actually rotten/rusty mate? Would it be ok with a simple respray? Only asking as I could be in the market for a mk1 in the near future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 The paint isn't that bad dude I give it a bit of a detail today.. it just starting to crack you know wer the plastics are down the side and the arch trim..going to try and get the colour of the car and just touch it up it could really do with it all taking off and painted properly... It looks quite good tbh.the roof is fucked it's all bubbled up and the boot is rotten but I've got a black mk1 boot here I'm going to get on over the wkend... Think I'm just going to get an mot get the map checked and drive away at it's not as much of a dog as I first thought Quote Link to post Share on other sites
