    Hello all i have been the proud owner off a Phase 1 GTT for the past 12 years.Only problem is i broke it 11 years ago. After repairing the head gasket 5 times in as many months i gave up on her but could never bring myself to sell.This little motor has followed me around about 4 different houses it even got me kicked out of one house when i decided to take down the front fence and park in the garden so i had somewhere to keep it another time it nearly got smashed up with a hammer by my brothers ex missus (Nuttier than a squirrell turd) had to leg it round and push the car away as fast as possible lol

    After years of listening to Mates/Family/Missus taking the mick out of my Hot Rod all convinced it will never see tarmac again i have decided now is the time to prove em all wrong

    It has been a bit of a head spin trying to put back together somthing i took apart 11 years ago but with the help of you lot and this club and loads of ££££££ it is slowly getting there cant wait to drive the beast again! Look forward to cruizin with Yall.....Peace.

    Welcome along KEEF!

    All credit to you for keeping the GTT for 11 years as a non runner & finally deciding to get it back on the road rather than scrapping it!!

    That's the hold these hatches have on us all!!

    Welcome mate.

    Remember that head gaskets blow for a reason, i.e incorrectly fueled. just fixing it is not the answer, find the underlaying problem. Its a bit like just changing a blown fuse!

    You will get a lot of really good advice on here to help your on your way. Dont be afraid to ask anything.

    Cheers for the advice mate i gave up completely on that engine and have dropped a BB tuning yellow spec engine in with a brand new head from renault so fingers crossed with the fuel set up right the headgasket should be good for at least 1000 miles
