Hi All,
Having grown up watching these things rule the mean suburbs of Plymouth I have just got myself a fairly knackered GT Turbo to get running and slowly restore to the awesome machine it should be. It's this one:
Ebay listing
The winning bidder didn't collect so it ended up being mine for £600. Not sure if I have a deal or not. STuff I know it needs:
-Radiator
-Welding (sills, arches, and a few holes in the floor at least, but plenty of suspicious rust dots about and the odd dent)
-Turbo re-fitting and repairing
-New hoses
-New Battery
-Touch up paint (how the hell do you touch up pink with what looks like sparkle laqueur?)
-A lot more, but I'll have to explore
Does anyone have a suggestion of where to start? Is there some things I need to check first that could make the whole thing a waste of time potentially?
Also If anyone has any more info on the car I'd love to know. Last registered to a chap in Lostwithiel, Cornwall, and apparently it was featured in Max Power at some point? Any bits of info would be cool!
Plenty of questions to follow I'm sure!
Cheers, Rich
