just a quick update....chuffed to bits as found most bits apert from panels i needed today!!!! got petrol tank,2x new headlights,complete exhaust system and new fuse box all off same car.cheers to kev from essex for all the hard work and great communication!!! just a years worth of welding to do now haha....and find a sill and hopefully a cheap rear hatch as mine is goooosed!!
little update for anyone interested....got a new battery and a gallon of petrol today,thought id try my luck firing the old girl up for the 1st time!she caughed and farted for 10 mins but after the fuel got in a bit she fired up and stayed running!!! pretty chuffed as bought as a non runner...even though she sounded like a stock car with no ehaust haha.
had a bit of a nightmare roadtrip to essex last weekend to pick up petrol tank,exhaust and headlights! id borrowed my neighbours works van and all was fine til some old pensioner rear ended me at 70mph near sheffield....we were stationary due to roadworks!
me and the wife both have whiplash and i spent night in hospital with a suspected fractured neck.
(refused the 'rectal examination'....perverted doctors haha!!!
managed to pick up my bits tho,really pleased with them,cheers kev lad.
hope to resume work on the GT when feeling a tad better!
