Treated myself

Treated myself to a full day on the GT6 it was the bank holiday Monday !!
Got rear suspension together at last and fitted nylon buttons to the swing spring to aid movement instead of rubber ones that wear out in about 6 miles and certainly better than new springs that don't have any slide buttons at all, just metal on metal.
Got shell bolted on chassis eventually too and steering now functional so shes almost finished..
Another good day like that and i recon shell be ready for an MOT.

Bit more done

Well not a lot more to mention just been sorting out the dash and column stuff mostly, dash clocks cleaned up and chrome bezels fitted (don't like the black ones)so looking bit MK1 style ad modded air vent to take the oil gauge as didn't want to spoil the really nice dash I've been saving for the car with extra holes.
Totally rebuilt column and switches no just the wiring to sort.
Quite happy with the resuts so far but its taking far too long now so less poofing around with stuff i think, just get it built..

MARTINI TIME

With shell painted (just doors and bonnet to do) its on with the chassis build.
Chassis podercoated black and suspension arms fitted with Superflex bushes.Nothing fancy on this car as its to be raced next year in HSCC 70 Road sports a virtually production spec series.
Just rear shocks to source now (most stuff second hand or off EBay on this car as I'm not allowed to spend any real money on my own cars, thank god for my secret pay pal account stash)and she should be a rolling chassis ! then engine and gearbox time..only allow myself a couple hours a week on this car so its taking a taste longer than normal to build unfortunately..

The build..

Started life as a accident write off BRG MK3 GT6 about 8 years ago and intentions were to sort damage out and use, new bonnet and chassis job done.
As most of my own projects are scratch built i just wanted a GT6 that i could use on the road, nothing special sort of thing so didn't need to be totally gutted just repaired.
So..Yep i couldn't help myself it was totally gutted to a bare shell.
The shell had been repaired and was basically solid so nothing was done except to cut a hole for a sunroof....aaaaaaaaahhggg i here you say , well it did have a glass pop up 80s style one in it already which was horrid so not wanting to weld the hole up, just put a more in keeping webasto one in its place.
