Bad points:

Have welded the battery tray up, but its not perfect, gear linkage is fully functional, but worn, but only averagely so.

If I was keeping it, I would change the suspension on it, it has a bit of a negative rake atm, but I do have some FK springs I may put on it. Would also put something dishy on!

bump, offers?

Really don't get why I'm getting so little interest, properly sorted little GT, I spent an absolute silly amount of time and a fair few quid replacing virtually every part which can wear, will be going on ebay soon if I don't get any interest, I need to pay my G40 insurance off!

Tis also taxed so can be driven away, has been 100% reliable in the 10k I've done it in.
