Hi, ok so this is a bit of an odd question, wasnt sure where to put it. Here goes.
As i said in me small hello thread, ive got a 5GTT 1988 which im rebuilding.
Ive also got a 100% stock 1985 R5 TL.
The TL is mint. (in my eyes) all panels straight, paint is incredible. Underneath clean as a whistle. All plastics present, guards, side guards, arch guards. You name it, its there. Never seen a welding torch.
Apart from a back box, its had nothing replaced. An honest 40k motor.
Bad point, its sat for almost 20 years in a garage. On its original wheels, on its original michelin tyres (rotted away) and a 100% seized up engine.
Now my question is:
What to do next....
do i leave it alone, rebuild its C1E 688 engine, polish it up and drive it round. Or sell? Whats it worth?
Or build another GTT from it? using all genuine GTT parts ive got enough to fully build at least another 1. With some left over.
