Re: 87 GTS

Thanks Ian - Couldn't shift it with White spirit but found some stuff in Halfords for removing "sticky stuff" that got it off. Used the credit card and an old sheet to cover the bay as you suggested. Messy job and glad to see the back of it. Looks much better now and wont shower the engine...

Re: 87 GTS

Stripped the sound insulation off the inside of the bonnet cos it was all crumbling and falling off, the foam came off easily enough but it's left the glue behind.

Re: 87 GTS

Not located any front struts yet so getting on with service parts - and a bit of re finishing while I'm at it. Timing belt due replacement, cover off http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/w604/jdub990/2014-02-06_16-34-02_203_zps43a9eefe.jpg and refurbed http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/w604/jdub990...

Re: 87 GTS

Thanks, I'll fire off a couple of Emails, Could Media blast and finish mine myself but was thinking if I could get some others I could build them up with new shocks and springs then just swap them over, save some time.

Re: whats its worth?

I agree with what's been posted, I think some people ask quite a lot but, the price these cars fetch is generally very low. I know allready I wont get back what I'm spending on refurbing mine. What does anyone think about the trend though ? Are prices going up or down ? I'm thinking they're still dr...
