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

    Yeh think its a contender for longest time I have owned a car. It's got plenty of room for a turbo , or a few tweaks and you would get a nice daily/track car , MOT is due in a week, but broken hand means it won't be MOT'd for a month...

    Mot is due November, but I would get that redone. Mot same month, I would not use it during winter.

    I think £2700 would be what I would be asking for.

    Good 5s are around that price
    Bad scobbies are are around that price
    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 :-)

    The mechanics are easy
    Beg,borrow a boroscope and have a look inside the sills
    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

    It's a cheap car, c1j'd 5's don't tend to sell for less than £2k, and when they do often have issues or sell very quick

    Only got a picture of the engine bay.

    But spec is as follows

    Interior standard
    Think its just over 100k miles (not sure on exact)
    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?

    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?
