PHer 'fastbikes76' is clearly quite the fan of Mitsubishi: he has two GTOs, one in manual twin-turbo guise and the other as an auto converted to twin-turbo. So obviously when one came up on eBay for peanuts with not much time left on the auction, it was a given that the OP was going to make a last minute bid.
£350 and the auction had been won - however, a few days of radio silence almost confirmed his fears that the seller wasn't going to let it go for so little. After five days and a few phone calls, the deal was done and the GTO was trailered to his drive. To his horror, the interior was filthy - "Food, hair, rubbish, pens, fishing bait, hooks, junk, old gearbox, oil and fluids all under the seats, more food and pretty much every other nastiness you could think of."
Three black bags worth of rubbish later the interior was ready for a deep clean with no piece of trim safe from liquid soap. Then it was to the engine bay which also scrubbed up very well. The original idea was to twin-turbo the GTO for his wife but, for now, it will be left naturally aspirated.
Congratulations fastbikes76 on the terrific transformation and being featured as Reader's Car Of The Week. Read the full build thread here.
