OK I am back again with not one R5 GTT but 3 well I say 3 I am slowly downsizing. This all started back in April 2014 when I decided to sell my Evo 6 after having to replace the rear diff setup for just shy of £2k for the RS kit I thought it’s all working 100% and best time to sell it on so within a week it was sold. I then picked up a J Plate Tungy Grey GTT from Essex the plan was to restore it, so booked it all in for a re-spray got messed about by the sprayer with delay after delay. So whilst awaiting sprayer I attend the Retro day at pod and done a few run’s had a slight gearbox crunch before I started I ended up with constant crunching in first and 2nd gears. I was then on the lookout for a replacement box nothing local and then a cat c write off R5 GTT popped up not too far away perfect so I snapped it up. On the way back from picking this spare GTT up had a convo with a friend whom had lost interest in his R5 GTT and I ended up agreeing to buy his restored white GTT rolling shell this then solved the re-spray issue for me (re-shell). Thing’s now had to move quick as I had / have a moaning Mrs’s on my back. So pretty quick the spare white GTT was sold on, the Tungy 5 was stripped of goodies and engine. The tungy is pretty much in standard now ready to go to new owner. The white rolling shell now has most of my goodies fitted and is currently a work in progress; hopefully have road legal within the next couple of weeks.
A couple of pictures attached as to what I have done so far, I know it’s not to everyone’s taste but **** it
