    the story of my gt's

    many moons ago i had my very first gt. id'e had sportings before but always wanted a gt and bought this standard gt.



    i had to sell this one as my family was growing. i sold it to a lad on here i think his name was willy bobs punto.

    but i had the gt bug and last july i bought this.

    after getting the car home it was time to start on the welding the car needed.
    once all the welding was done it was time to try and sort out the fmic rubbing on the radiator big mistake


    then it was time to sort out the make shift exhaust that had been made.





    this exhaust was sourced but not long after it was fitted i changed my mind



    made the engine look a little better



    after much work of which ive not got photos for heres how it stands today all finished besides a good detail

    Looking good pal, is that a carbon bonnet?

    Your first car looks familiar, did you used to go motorworld in Bolton and know a lad called Ian who worked there?
