She's baaack!
She's baaack!
After 8 years, I've bought back my old GTO
She's unfortunately a little worse-for-wear in the body and there's engine 'issues' - but nothing that can't be fixed easily enough with a bit of elbow grease. Probably do one or two Historic rallies later this year as her 'swansong' and she'll be stripped down to bare shell and rebuilt purely as a road car. (could be tempted to do the odd bitumen event though ;) )
Cheers, S

Needs GA or GB galant front cut to resurrect a GTO. Please help if you can
Re: She's baaack!
Thanks Kodos, was a real pity to let that blue one go recently, but unfortunately finances were urgently needed elsewhere. Am pretty happy to have this one back though, as there is a fair bit of personal history there.

Re: She's baaack!
Yeah, really looking forward to tidying her up. The fellow who I bought her back from (top bloke too btw) has another really nice one, in fully original trim including the JDM front wing mirrors And before anyone asks (Kodos ) - it's definitely NOT for sale
Oh, he's a bit of a 4G32 fiend too - he's got one producing 90 KW at the wheels which I thought was pretty good for a single cam 32' (yes, saw the dyno sheet).
Here's the head off my original non-balance-shaft 4G52that came back with the car (48mm inlet ports )
Cheers, S

Re: She's baaack!
He had the inlet and webers off it when I saw it on his engine stand and the ports were the biggest I've ever seen on a 32' (should've taken a pic ) he reckons the motor owes him a small fortune.
Yeah, they're kind of fun, particularly good in LA's but when the bodyshells start getting heavier they struggle - I ran them years ago in the GA, my Nav and I had plenty of time for a chat while waiting for the little 32' to pull us up hills on a stage You just can't beat cubes, boys

Congrats

Re: She's baaack!
Thanks.
Pretty happy to get her back but she'll need a bit of work. Not in a hurry though, as I'm a fussy bugger. I'd rather take my time and be happy with the end result.
Hope everything's working out for you up north?
