My white 1990 Gtt, Journey

[DeanmGT5]

Thought I would share a some pictures of my 1990 Gtt. I brought the car about 3 years ago, after having a mad idea that I wanted to own another one (the last one I owned was 16 years ago). The car has gone through a lot of changes, turbos, wheels and engines. Currently the car is off the road as I have started to do an F7P turbo conversion.

When I 1st got the car

As usual you feel the need to "swap a few bits" and make things a bit tidier ;-)

Decided it was time to learn a bit more. Remove the engine, strip it down, paint the engine bay. Also fit 270 cam and have some head work done

Looking good Dean, keep them pics flowing with the conversion you are doing. Nice wilwoods by the way :D

Matt - I normally use 1500 w+D (By hand) then 3m fast cut compound with a buffer. After that I go over with a polishing glaze (3m) and a soft polishing mop. Goes without saying you have to be careful with edges etc :).

The new colour looks great. Top quality finish too. Is it high temp paint?

No mate, just normal rattle cans.

Ive never used hi temp paint on calipers and ive even used stickers. :)

[w35ty]

Looking all good mate! never noticed your carbon effect on dash.. Looks good :cooter:
