I am hoping to turn it into a bit of a sleeper really, initial idea is the 1.4 turbo (sorry don't know engine codes yet)
Trying to find one of these engines seems like a...
Does anyone know where I can get hold of the clips that are used to hold the side skirts on please?
The old ones are rusty and I'm not wanting to bond the kit on.
Thanks in advance
Looking for a R5GTT with MOT for around 4K. Cash waiting. Please no time wasters as I have been let down so many times. Serious sellers please get in touch.
Hi guys. I registered to Andrew's dini page quite a while ago and have been a -not so active- member of this forum. I also posted on the gtturbo forum, but it seems not a lot of people are active there. The message I posted yesterday:

Looking to upgrade the front Anti Roll Bar set up for next year.
Any ideas or upgrades available to prevent roll.
We already run 400lb springs, I don't want to go any more as starting to suffer with traction coming out of corners.
I assume this is quite a common fault on most 5's but does anyone know what causes the interior fabric in the rear door cards/near the armrests to fall and come away?

Quick recap on this revived thread!
So a month ago I got my hands on a tidy GTT to reshell my forgotten(rotten) tungy! It was delivered on the 13th September.
It was advertised as a non running abandoned project. Welding to the sills had been done, and the underside all sealed. New wishbones...
So today i picked up a new 5.
A 1991 H reg Tungy, 79k genuine miles and has FSH with only eight owners from new.
Car is a really good runner and has a massive pile of receipts that came with it, including the original order form an a sales invoice for £10.5k!
The body is in need of some TLC...
Evening All,
