Looks great jonny proper oe!. I may have solved the garage thing lol so will see if the missus let's me spend
As the car stands today - speedlines off for a refurb!
Who is doing the refurb mate? fully recommend metal magic at Barnsley pal.
Got you mate have you gone off the idea of the turbines?
Coming together now mate. D you think it will be done for summer?
Great project, love seeing you keep it original and giving it a real spruce up
Unfortunately wont be done for summer, needs a small bit of welding and a full respray. Jonny's sorted out the front bumper and skirts. If I could get welding done then that'd be a big problem sorted. Problem is I can't weld!
Turbines will be refurbished at a later date as they need 45 profile tyres
Small update - speedlines off for a refurb and turbines temporarily fitted
got back my bumper skirts and steering wheel from Jonny5 and what am amazing job him and his dad have done on them.
Also went to see Thundercat and traded K+N's
Looking like a 5 again!
Well nice weather today, and some nice work done on the 5. Replacement door fitted by Jonny5 - top lad and huge thanks for sorting this
Also Jonny brought over my refurbished battery tray and bb tuning lobster.
Progress is good and its nice to see the 5 straight again.
Also ran the 5 up for first time in a few months and she sounded sweet!
Was a good day mate, cheers for the pizza
I met Roger nearly 10 years ago when he owned this car in the local Shell station, very nice old chap. I used to really like this car back then and I'm glad someone bought this car on here and is using it as a resto project. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed the pizza Jonny!
Adam has the car always been standard? As there was a lot of info on aftermarket parts in the receipts folder?
Its a good 5 (in supposeably the rarest colour) and will be fully restored with a nice helping hand from Jonny5 and Thundercat! - Top lads!
Ace.
The radiator looks like it might have a damaged core. Halfway down on the left hand-side.
Looks good mate... Well done
I like them shiney turbines pal. Have you had them done or have you bought them like that?
Nice mate ,where did u get alt from and fan motor
Thanks mate.
Always had a soft spot for silver GT's and this will be lovely when it's done mate, just takes time, money and determination.
and thanks James for the exchange, just finished removing the red paint from the 3rd and 4th wheel today, next job is to spray the fins and fit the other 2 tyres.
A little more part progress in the end of 2013
Cant decide weather to go 100% OE or OE+
Anyway at moment have parts to go either ways.
As mentioned before exchanged my polished turbines for a refurbished set with tyres.
Bought OE leads and fan belt - plus managed to get hold of very good condition doorcards.
Under bonnet lining also purchased.
Plus managed to get hold of a really good condition bosal centre section - hopefully I have a matching bosal backbox on its way.
Pics for anyone interested
You should do what you want to do at the end of the day, oe is ok but once you've seen one it gets a bit mundane. I think Johnny5 has the best of both worlds. Obviously these are just my thoughts nice car though.
Doorcards look great buddy
Looks like your making great progress now
Love OE plus
