The story was far.....

I like GT's, I like bready's, I like black cars. So when this came up on ebay in 2006 (I think), there was only one sensible choice, so I bought it, trailered it back, and since then many other cars have got in the way since.

In 2007, I sold it to Tom (polocoupe1300). He got it back on the road and used it as a daily. In late 2008, he deicided the time had come to sell it on, so about a year ago, I jumped at the chance and bought it back.

Since then, with much stuff going on, I've not had chance to touch it. Now I have, and work begins.

Phase 1: Daily driver

Phase 2: Van conversion + tidying

Phase 3: More power

Phase 1

I need to start off with getting an mot on it.

Top mounts

Exhaust blowing everywhere it's possible for an exhaust to blow

Running problems - suspect AFM problems and needs timing setting up

Black GT square... gets the thumbs up from me!

Keeps the scenions at bay.

*Waits for Indy to come in and say it's shit.

Looks tidy. Like your plans for the van Not enough of them about imo. Got any more pics of it?

Looks pretty good matey, on my list of must own cars :-D

Remember you are a peasant/poor person if you cant buy a Mk5 or newer!

Anyway looks good mate... will I be seeing this at Derby meets in the future?

nice car matey would love to see it into a GT van

stop the bitching

Looks good man (H)

Cant wait to see it going properly,

Black+GT=Win

No piccies today because the camera's flat. It's in the air, both struts are off. Refurbed struts off the silver coupe s ready to go on.

It's been a bastard to start, so I had the AFM apart and cleaned it up. Hooked the vac system back up in some sembelance of "properly", which made it a bit more willing, but something was still making it hard to start.

I went up the local garage and found some stuff that you put in your fuel tank that makes em run well. It's not cheap at just over a quid a litre, but it runs way better for having some in.

:lol:

good to see another gt bready

Cheers dude - just been using your thread to show me how to hook my vac system up :)

Lovely stuff, Think tom still misses this car!

Was wondering if you still had this, glad you do... Although I was gonna message you a few months back to see if you'd sell

Cameras still being a f****r so again no pics.

Today was spent mostly spent with something with a blue oval (another story for another day), cleaning brake lines (everyone's favourite job), checking I had all the parts I need (most of the silver mk2 coupe I broke was parts that I'd put on new at the time), and making stuff ready to going on.
