Re: Mars Red GTX Restoration
Considering selling it... New job and house move means it will be neglected for a few years which I can't bear! Pm me serious offers: All the bits that I've accumulated will be included in the sale. All the brake parts and powdercoted parts yet to be fitted! As you can see a straight, honest, origin...

Re: Mars Red GTX Restoration
The more I say the more gutted I am I sold it. As before though happy to see it getting much deserved TLC. I know the owners of this car going back to the late 80s when it was bought as an approved used car, just never had the time and cash to do it justice. Glad I rescued it from abandonment on th...

Re: RED DEAD Revolver-On going daily 89 Mk2 GT
If you can find out where to buy a new steering rack boot for non-extortionate money let me know! Mine is a little bit scabby with age!

Re: RED DEAD Revolver-On going daily 89 Mk2 GT
Nice job, liking the attention to detail and making things tidy! I'm sure you'll agree, the more bits you do, the more you find to do! Keep up the good work!

Re: Mars Red GTX Restoration
To say I was surprised was an understatement, I'll let the pictures do the talking... Any chance of you can buying me a lottery ticket? :hugegrin: Haha, if I have the same luck upon removing the front arches and valance I'll buy you one for sure! Having had the rear arches done last year, pics of t...

Re: Front lower strut brace fitting...
It's more the point of how can you possibly apply a torque setting through an elastic bush!?
Are those bolts longer than the standard ones?

Re: Mars Red GTX Restoration
So with the roads Being salted on a more regular basis now, I decided that it was time for some rust prevention. I thought it was about time to pull off the body kit and have a look at what it was like. (I'd been avoiding this job, and losing sleep about what I mighty find!!!). So with a dry day tod...

Re: Steering rack movement, wandering steering
Reading this just made me go and have a look with the torch at mine being paranoid! :hehe: luckily all is good! As said try the rack and bushes first, if not then look at the inner ball section of the track rods, these have worn on both the roccos I've had.. Or obviously the actual track rod end.. F...

Re: engine upgrade question
