Possibly the longest you've owned a car? :laugh: Jokes aside, I really don't get why no one brought it yet. :confused: Easy project for any one looking todo a turbo'd F7 conversion. :agree:Quote:

Possibly the cheapest Mot'd & Taxed 5 for sale in the UK, pretty much rust free and a great cheap car!!
Is it easy to install rear seats or does the cage have to come out. Looking for a week-end car :)Quote:

Good luck with the search fella.
Cheers guys , there is a couple on here but don't think they have been on since advertising them :(
What about a 1.7t raider with megasquirt gt2860r and valver running gear? needs mapping and a bit of paint if you're into that kind of thing.
Will have a look but I'm not mechanically minded :)Quote:

Not sure on price, would take offers.
Thanks.

I think £2700 would be what I would be asking for.
Think I will pass mate as I don't want to spend that might just get another scooby :)Quote:

Once you get into the 5 grove you'll find it very hard to get out
Lots of guys on here have given up exotic cars to keep there 5s ( myself included)
Not fancy a phase one?
Years ago I had about 6 or 7 r5 turbos phase 1's and 2's, my mrs wrecked my last one in Yorkshire about 1999, it ended up in pontefract :-( . My problem is I don't want to pay top dollar then find loads of problems as I'm no good with mechanics . Might never own another one again but I have a young family and I don't want to spend everything for nostalgia :-)Quote:

It's the rust that's the expensive bit
If turbo is not required pen folds car is the dogs
Before I started my reshell I should have bought it and saved a lot of work
Would have liked the turbo :) but his car is nice .just not sure nowQuote:

Original mats, undrilled dash
No tears in the seats
Original body kit including grill and tow eye cap
Engine has been fully rebuilt
Silicon hoses in yellow apart from blue boost hoses
BB tuning lobster top
pace intercooler
brand new valeo rad
baileys expansion tank
brand new engine wiring loom
brand new clutch cable
Will have 12 months MOT once put through
Sills are solid
Car has been delocked on both doors, but no fob to unlock so using boot at moment till can sort out.
Some lacquer peel on roof but will tidy this up when get a chance
rear bumper mounts need attention but might get round to do that before properly putting up for sale depending on time.
Looking at £2k for car once MOT'd but will have more pics and spec soon as still working on the car.
How did you had 6 or 7 GTT's and not got good with the mechanics of them? :innocent:
After that many GTTs you can't possibly not know, that owning one is never going to be incident free. Or that getting a cheap GTT is most likely going to mean a bit more effort.
So are you really in the market for one? :)
Would love some pics when you have time defo interestedQuote:
