    Opinions on the GT

    http://www.puntosports.co.uk/forums/...ad.php?t=78207

    I really like the styling and colour of this GT, but am anxious about the condition of the engine. Does anyone know if the engine can easily be fixed and at what cost. Or alternatively does anyone like dean or puntoboy live near notts and wanna earn some mohoney!

    it is the same cam as in the other engine yes. and as for the respray the only bit that is still red is in the engine bay and wheelwell.

    i did have another cam from a diff engine i was going to try but the place that reconned the head said it was no good.

    i would love to keep the car and get it on the road but i just dont have the time or patience to get it done anymore. but i will be gutted to see it go after all the work and efffort thats gone into it since january.
