    Last night i collected a lovely......

    GT1


    collected lastnight from essex, in my mates laguna estate and a trailer.

    2hr drive to and from northampton.

    dumped it outside my house at 1 o'clock this morning.

    so work will begin tonight, stripping the GT down to the bare shell.

    cant wait to get start! pics up later!

    i paid £400 for it in the end. needs a few little things after its front end smash. but the engine should be a runner, its gonna get re built either way

    fingers crossed ready for elvington, i'll try my best

    yeah it was much better with 4 wheels. the trailer was pukka, just dragged it up the ramp with the winch!

    Don't rush it by setting yourself a deadline. Make sure it is done properly
