ive only been in the world of r5s for just over a year now but my bros had a few so knew abit about them.
ive been loyal to vauxhall since i passed my test owning a 1.2i nova, 1.6 gsi corsa and then a 2.0 16v corsa running 250bhp, then i did something i said i would never do and bought a 5 gt
its a 09/1986 ph1 electric blue 5gtt. i when i bought it, it already had the tarmac front bumper, scorpion exhaust, t25, ph2 seats and clio williams wheels.
i cant find the pics of when i first bought it but this was after a few mods
(vnt, fmic, avo coilovers, interior, side exit, bonnet, yellow samcos)
christmas day 2008, melted a heater matrix hose on the way to christmas lunch
after a quick clean at work. std rusty bonnet was fitted whilst the silver bonnet was getting painted. also the addition of red tinted rear lights
i noticed the front bumper was loose, resulting in the mount still being attached to the bumper and not the car as it should be. this was the start of the rebuild ............
bonnet back from being painted, also a ph2 spoiler
and new powerflow 2.5" system as the sidey was catching on everything
smoothed ph2 front bumper as the tarmac bumper is horrible
cleaned so took it out for some pics (miss it looking like this now)
time for inspection of the sills as the inner sill was rotten and falling out
welding it at work
new wheels, borbet a's off a e30 bmw (7.5x16" et15 )
after some machining they went on
quick idea before fcs09 but it kind of stayed
fcs2009
not much room in those arches
new "flat cap" centre caps
modified live as snetterton 2009 with my bros 5
now the fun started. moved out of my parents in nov09 and as i had a garage i decided to bite the bullet and check it out fully to see just how bad the rust that i has been ignoring was.
i'll upload the next half soon
