Sadly I think I’m going to break it, I need to find some funds to hopefully buy a red one that is up for sale
I’d like to keep the interior ideally as it’s the best I’ve seen yet (unless I get a very good offer), the brake components, the exhaust and the radiator.
The engine is essentially brand new, was rebored with oversize pistons from Rob, reground crank and flywheel, head skimmed and valves lapped in properly. Also new knock sensor, crank and cam position sensors and obviously the cam belt. It has only done 16 miles since the rebuild and passed the MOT easily on emissions. One negative is the aux pulleys are a bit loud, but I’ve got replacements to go on.
I’ve also got a very good condition red sunroof with only a small blister on.
The ECS and ECU both work fine, the gearbox is a 5 speed and doesn’t grind in any gears, though does have a crack around the filler and the output splines are getting a bit pointy.
The doors are good, couple of dings, and the boot lid has a small amount of surface rust. The aero worked last time I tried, though the front tray is ropy.
Weather seals aren’t great, windows are a bit scratched
Sorry to hear this. I was very near to breaking mine but glad i didn’t. Love the GT in black. It must be in a very bad way for you to make this decision. Just make sure the red one is not in the same condition James.
Yeah, it’s got rust in both floors, up the seat boxes and in all of the sills. I’ve got no spare funds at all at the moment to do the work so it’d be off the road for a long time, so I think this is the right decision.
Plus the rest of the car is just as tired as the bits that need the welding doing, so I’d spend $$$ on the welding and still have a tatty tired car
Ok, the one I was going to buy didn’t work out, so I’ve decided to strip everything off it. Some stuff I don’t know prices, and other stuff isn’t on the list yet.
I’d like £3k for the engine ONO. I’ve spent more than that on it, it has had
turbo oil pipes
cam sensor
crank sensor
acl bearings
thermostat
water pump
oil pump
knock sensor
iridium spark plugs
brand new, oversize pistons
ignition leads
seals
cam belt
head gasket
Right, hopefully my table works! Let me know if my prices are unrealistic, I’ve struggled to price some stuff.

Yep, you can have them. I’m between Ashbourne and Derby, but my parter works in Stafford if that’s any use. Do you want the arms too or just the hubs? Arms are a bit ropy.
No, sorry I’m going to sell the engine all as one if I can
Yes, you can have all of those, though the transfer box may already be sold, I’ll let you know.
Please read the descriptions of stuff, I don’t want people to get the wrong idea about condition. I’ve got pics but will only put them up if people want them, as it takes 15 mins per picture to upload on my Internet!
