hi here are a few pics of my r5 gt im rebuilding, these are pics from when i first started
nasty intercooler someone mounted on the front of the car and cut out the slam panel making me loads of work drilling out and fitting a new slam panel
awaiting my new piston and liner set
few pics of engine after rebuild
this is the exhaust im fitting taking off the twin exhaust
here are a few pics of my donor car
door cards filled and primed ready for gloss black paint
my next plans are lift up the back end, fit a new standard front slam panel bumper
and grill. new back bumper, tidy up the engine bay and get the auto sol out lol. new t2/t25 turbo. mint all the body work and fit my new door cards.
I have now moved on with my project and over the last few weeks been spending the cash. The car is currently in the bodyshop having a full respray in the original black paint after being to the panel beaters where i had new inner and outer sills new bumper fixing points front and rear, new slam panel, all new fixing points on front and rear wings for arches. I have bought all new panels, front and rear bumpers, ront and rear arches, new sideskirts and new bonnet and all new fixing clips and rubbers. I have also had the tacky petrol cap removed from the boot and put back in the original place on the rear quarter. I have bought all new lights including fogs and indicators. I have also bought a few new parts from gt tuning, the dump valve, spider valve, in car boost valve. I have spent £4000 lol. but its all worth it restoring one of these gt turbos. here are a few pics of the project.
