No idea where to start with this so here goes.

I've wanted a PH1 GT Turbo for absolutely ages and I've never been in a position to buy one, I've always loved Scott's PH1 and have been aware of the car for years and always wanted to own it. He very kindly gave me the opportunity to buy it and I was in the right position at the time so here it is!

It's an awesome car, at the time of writing this I've only had it for two weeks but its a forever car for me.

It will be staying exactly the way it is, the only things I will do are just general maintenance etc and using it as I love it the way it is. All I've done so far is fix a leak from the water pump, change tdc sensor, new OE oil filter and oil change, coolant flush and refill with Type D, got a bung for afr gauge in the downpipe, It had a fair bit of surface rust around the boot, windscreen, bonnet, lower door etc, I've taken this back to bare metal and painted it silver until I take it to a bodyshop to do properly - just those bits though, it's fast and weathered and very cool :)

Anyway pics

Thanks Andy - yeah I've already started to, note the windscreen suround in the last pic taken today compared to the second pic :)

The rust around the boot is weird, never seen that before. I've also got a devil cup brace to go on it and some other bits.

MOT is booked for tomorrow!
 
good stuff and nice find. hopefully itll be a good useable gt for you, maybe even get it running a 12.9 again (y)
 
Got invited to EBC's HQ for the Roadkill event, it was absolutely incredible, first roadtrip in the Phase 1 Turbo, had a nice chat with @davidfreiburger @stevedulcich and @challengeher from @roadkillshow, they approved of the 5 and signed the timeslip and gave me a free shirt and stickers and some other stuff, then an awesome boost home in the 5 with no issues at all couldnt be happier and now ready for some tlc over winter
