My cars and my story

Charming  :lol:

Yeh.. I do need to hurry up. Thinking of booking a week off work and really hitting it hard

[BriC]

Picked up my subframe, wishbones, etc today - very happy, and extremely cheap!







Booked all of next week of, so I will crack on putting it all back together

[hoolio]

Mmmm nice minty fresh bits.
I was thinking of doing the same with a mixture of new and refurbed parts, what exactly have you had done to get them back to that condition?

I got them powdercoated mate - I dropped them off, and then they shotblasted them and powdercoated them. The finish is awesome - literally like new. This place I took it all to is uber cheap as well - only £40 for the whole lot  :lol:

So today, I made two new purchases..

One being a carb
The other.. another GTT

The GTT is to replace my daily driver campus:



So, here's some pics of the new one, after a quick wash:





Does anyone want a GT Tuning twin dump valve set up?


One with my uncles award winning freshly restored camper:



Started T-Cutting it on the bonnet. You can't really see it very well, but in this pic you can see closest to the camera where I have T-Cutted a bit, and past that where it is cloudy (almost looks dirty, but this was done post wash, so it was clean!). Comes up alright, and I will eventually get the whole car done.



Picked it up today from RTOC member 'B4NK51E' in Birmingham. We then took a de-tour to Redditch to pick up the carb I bought, so all in all, the GTT survived a 2.5 hour journey with no problems.

Plan is - it won't be on the road for another couple of months, and when it is on the road, it will be my daily driver to replace the campus. I will be keeping it standard ish, as it is, but repairing little bits and bobs, i.e. having the grille re-sprayed

Subframe nearly ready to go back on - just need to torque the bolts up. New polybushes were a pain in the arse to fit!

[GTTboost]

Nice work mate,  that sub frame is very tastey.. cant believe what a bargain you done on getting those bits powder coated!!  

[BriC]

Insured on the red GTT now - good to have boost back in my life

[BriC]

Done some more work on it recently.. I'll let the pics do the talking:








Roll cage mocked up, so we can drill the holes for fitment.

Did some damage whilst lining the rear bumper



Got the engine in today, but couldn't take piccies as it was raining too much  :roll:

Most of the big jobs are done now, just got to tie up all the loose ends and she should be done  

[GTTboost]

This is going to look mint when its all finished..  looking forward to seeing it running..    well done mate.

[sparkysparks]

thats a lovely colour. will be a keeper when its done. i wouldnt take it out of the garage

[BriC]

GTTboost - cheers mate. Won't be as nice as yours, but I'm trying

Sparky - cheers! Deffo a keeper. Too emotionally attached to it now

[BriC]

Update..

Engine and new silicone hoses fitted:




B&M quickshift fitted:



Morette quad headlights fitted:

[scratcher]

Very nice I'm liking those wheels.
Did you find you had to chop the top rad hose a bit to get it to fit? Mine fouled the dizzy badly and was about 2 inches too long on either end.
