A recent project

Motor Mouth · 05-04-2008

This is a project i've been working on for the last year. She's a GT running a CIH Turbo motor, with Getrag 5speed box. The interior has been fully retrimmed with retrimmed Recaros, she has highly polished ATS Cups, a Lenk exhaust, new chrome work and she's just about to have a stereo installation (Blaupunkt CD player, electrical ariel) and electric windows.

She goes for a final tune up and polish this week, i'll then be fitting new badges and a pair of CHROMED Englemanns and i'll then be delivering her to her new owner next weekend.

What you think?.........

Cheers guys, and 'yes' you're right that's one of the reasons i can't do the Euro meet, the next is the Manta GT/E that i've just picked up and then there's the GT i'm just about to start on.

I'll post up some more pics later on in the week when i have the badges and mirrors on. I'll include some engine shots.....i have some new pipework going on in there too, so want to make sure that the piccies do it justice.

I suppose i better also do some 'shake down' miles in her too, just to ensure she drives properly.......sounds like a good excuse to get 'HUMBUG' out and see how the Turbo compares to the Stroker
