leigh Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Here's a thread for thoughts and opinions on the GT Spent a while today cleaning the shit out of it. The car has been sitting up for 15years and has managed to collect its fair share of shite inside. Gotta take care of some bits over the next while as the brakes need overhauling as does the clutch and some of the dash wiring is inventive. Most annoying though is the ridiculous smell of fuel inside - went looking for an obvoius cause this evening nd found the vent pipe from the tank existing directly into the passenger compartment so that will be remedied tomoro with some new pipework. Need some new bits but have to order them from the US or Holland i think - either way its mail order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUL8R Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Wicked man, looks good with wider wheels, Must be rather fun to drive with so little weight and a reasonably powerful motor? @ Fuel, I think there was one for sale in the Duncan Rutherford Collection awhile ago..

Snoozin Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 VERY nice acquisition, Leigh. Always had a mega soft spot for these, absolutely gorgeous little cars I reckon. Those tailpipes look the nuts though, don't change them if you can avoid it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 No i wont change them Snoozin, i'll try to add something before there as its straight through to that point. I was gonna take a video of it tonight on my way home from town so you could hear the noise from inside when you put the foot down at all. It is loud. Actually, its as loud as the fuel smell is strong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 what is the PCD of these? 4x100mm? Aren't those rims from your Viva? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Love that video Leigh, damn that car is wicked! Sounds awesome, looks awesome! Brilliant! Not sure on those mesh rims myself, what's the PCD on the GT? What kind of other options are there? Edit: Damn you fuel and your beating me to the PCD question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
