Well as most of you know, I purchased the silver ph1 from Alistair Gresty, I paid £1250 for the car with a few other extra's.
The plans for the car is to have a nice clean looking car for Track and fast road use. The idea of going totally OE on this car is not really an option for me due to expense (ph1 stuff is very expensive)
Since getting the car I have put Red carpet in aswell as a full set of ph2 seats, which are pretty clean and will do the job for now.
I have the engine from The ghost to put in this car, and a turbo which I purhcased from Glen Hi5 (a GT25R) & PWR charge cooler that I purchased from Karlos.
So hopefully the engine side of things will be pretty good and reliable.
I am going to respray my old 15" orange wheels black to go for this car, I could go for ph1 wheels but I am going to run 285mm brakes and 15" tyres are available pretty much anywhere should I need a replacement when out and about
I have purchased some Koni suspension (from neilgttdimma), but they are for a ph2, so I will be taking the ph2 stuff from the ghost and fitting them to the silver ph1.
I have also purchased a Roll cage from Newbstar, its bright yellow atm, but I will be painting it shortly, I am thinking matt Silver...
Bigfoot has kindly put to one side some harness and now I am on the hunt for a set of bucket seats, I have a grey carpet that I will leave in the car,although I may get some fabric paint and paint it black.
After finally getting the silver car out of the barn and getting it on my drive, I have had a chance to wash it & take some pictures.
I will need to sort out a different gear knob (most likely borrowing the clean one from The Ghost & remove some sticky glue/tape from the boot as the car must have had a spoiler on at some point.)
The car it self is in good shape, the underneath is solid with no signs of any rust or welding, the paint work is not bad, but I suspect it may need a respray and some surface rust taken care of over the next year or so... areas affected are front windscreen surround, and bonnet & abit on the doors - sadly means the graphics will need replacing and there not cheap.
The ph1 bodykit has been painted, which looks ok, but has some paint flaking, but does mean the kit looks black rather than faded & dont need black to black on it
I will also be needing some spares such as window winders, a few fuses, and some interior plastic.
Anyway here are some pictures.
