Phase 2 Gt Turbo

[series111]

Hi all I originally bought my first gt turbo back in 1996 which I modified with the usual 90's extras and until recently still had, until I decided to source a sort of standard car to install all of my tuning parts from my old car i.e John Noble worked engine.

So whilst hunting for one I found a HPI clear rolling shell based in Preston ideal for what I was looking for, as I was intending to restore it anyway.

So I took a chance and bought it blind as he offered delivery.

When it arrived the guy was true to his word as it was as he described he had also bought it to restore but due to loss of his storage unit he sold to me.

The car used to belong to a Woman called Natalie Bunce if anyone knows of her?

So now I have being restoring it since Nov 2013 which I intend to return it to standard looking Colour Black.




Starting to strip for inspection











Starting to remove and repair the dreaded rust







Time to fabricate and weld in new inner sill







Now time to weld in the new outer sill







Once the new sill had been fitted I then repaired the rear bumper mount, which I cut from a base model 5.









Once the passenger side had been repaired I then carried out the same repairs on the drivers side.

Nice work fella, most need full sills and some inners although nothing like getting new metal in and making it solid! It looks like a raider in the pics, the raider colour with purple flip, did you say it was originally black?

Best of luck man

Thanks for the support, it was originally black but currently it is painted in the dreaded KTEC purple which I'm not a fan of.
