GT6 coilovers.
Discussion
Hi guys this is the first of many inquiring posts about the gorgeous GT6, Id be pleased if you could help or point me elsewhere.
Im looking into buying a GT6 MkIII once Ive shifted the landrover. Im fairly capable with home mechanics and would prepfer to have a more alluring (and faster) car for my efforts.
I have read that the original set up with transverse leaf spring and dampers leaves something to be desired. Is it possible just to put coilovers onto the damper mounts or do they need reinforcing? does the Leaf spring have to be modified, replaced removed?
Ive also come into posession of a shed load of Aluminium Box section (construction standard) does anyone know of a location on the interent that I can get the design for a MKIII Chassis as I have a cunning plan to save weight on the orignal lump of steel.
Cheers guys, Rich.
p.s. If anyone here hears of a reasonable GT6 for <£2000 Id be glad to hear about it. Not worried about the state of the interior.

Ive been looking to get rid of it for the last few months, naturally my enthusiastic description has waned slightly
I need it gotten rid of as i start a new job soon and cant leave it cluttering up the parents drive. Its excellent fun to tinker with and rag around country lanes, and would be a good base for any trialler conversion you might want to do.
An 88 inch (good chassis) series one truck cab
Series 2a gear box (with stronger layshaft)
Salisbury axles (The military spec defender ones)
Ford Cologne V6.
Problems that would need fixing, the seat box is probably 50 years old and showing it. It has no seatbelts and the exhaust is blowing slightly, Ive fund a daihatsu 2.8 Deisel for it but am not keen to get involved in an engine swap as Im out of here in a two months time.
- Pointers on how to sound keen on selling a vehicle youve come to resent owuld be most welcome. (Apologies if that just became a "for sale" advert)
Id been looking at buying an MGB GT, when I was overtaken at the lights by a miniscule fastback coupe! - Hence the new love for the GT6.
