GT2 Student Project!

Better late than never as they say...

But I thought I should record my progress with the car, which I've had for about 10 months now.

I bought it 4 miles from home and broke down halfway back... A great start! But since then I've worked on it far too much for a daily, spent far too much, and cleaned it far too much too. Has anyone else wandered into Halfords for a new chamois and come out with over £100 of AutoGlym they didn't really need??

Anyone, whats been done...

 - Pierburg carb out, Weber in.
 - All new fluids and filters (racio=ng brake fluid=amazing!).
 - New rear shoes.
 - New rear bearings (fronts are next on the list).
 - New radio
 - Ditched the P Slots for BBS RZs (Chuffs old wheels!!).
 - New wishbones.
 - New bushes up front.
 - Original grill back on.
 - Swirl pot.
 - Coil pack (twice!).
 - All leads.
 - Battery.
 - Gear linkages.
 - Interior trim bits and pieces.
 - New rad.
 - New fan.

And I think thats it... Not quite the budget car it was meant to be!

Unfortunately I've lost the before photo, but here's some after...





Round the outside of an M5... Only a few hundred bhp down on it lol!




Hopefully more updates to follow  :yup:

Looks really smart.. there's a few rocco's appearing on here now, even though i've always liked them I'm really starting to get a soft spot for them now.

Got anything else you want to do to it?

Cheers guys

Visually it's just a case of tidying things up really... But I want to go through all the bushes and mounts on the car first, get that side of things as sweet as possible! Once thats done, just fettling hopefully... It's in really good shape underneath but the bodywork could be better!

Although wheels and stance may change... But I get a new favourite every day!
