    Red GT1 - spares or SIMPLE REPAIR

    Picked up a GT today thinking I didn't want to move away from them but I think I need to give it up now.

    It does require work to make it worthy but for the price you can't really complain.






    Right here's the bad news...
    Suspected alternator - battery from my car fitted and starts perfectly first time from cold and runs smooth. I drove it back to mine after buying.

    Both front lower ball joints - very bad knocking, I will supply 2 good lower arms with sale.

    radiator is leaking - very quick fix.

    Oil leaking from phase sensor.

    Rear arches are rusted like normal but the sills are very good condition, the main reason I brought it as was a good base to keep me going for 2-3 years.

    The body work is a bit shoddy.

    This is a good solid base with a good running engine and gearbox. Fitted with a gmax 40mm kit. Brakes all round are good. Exhaust sound like a magnex but looks like a mongoose. Guessing it's just some kinda hybrid.
    Has indiflo dials, HKS SSQV dump valve, samco top boost pipe, stealthy fmic.

    This car can be driven away if you come armed with a battery or 2 as is MOT'd until December and taxed until February.

    Looking for £450 which is what I paid for it. I just have no time to work on this as well as strip my White GT.
