SOLD :(

Okay so here goes, This is a day i hoped wouldn't have to come but i don't have a choice any more

For sale: My 1993 Forged Quad light Ep82

Item Condition: Tidy shell and interior, Engine problem though.

Price and price conditions £offers i genuinely don't know what its worth in its condition but over 1k I'm hoping.

Extra Info: 10 months M.O.T and 4ish months tax i believe:
Here's the long bit then. Here's the build Thread if you want a huge read up http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/dynamics/showentry.php?e=25107&catid=6

But to cut a long story short: i bought this back in September 2010 as my first car, i got well and truly ripped off as the head gasket blew about 4 months down the line, (had only been driven for 2 months of this) so we replaced it, it blew again, so we replaced it yet again, then the engine packed up all together. so i bought a used forged engine of a trustworthy member on here (no receipts but I'm sure it can still be traced back on here, i can give names if needs be) up until now its ran like a dream until today while on my way to work it developed a rattling, by time i had chance to pull over the rattling had got horrendous, it sounds like bottom end shells.

I don't have the ltime for this car to go through another engine transplant or even bother rebuilding it, and i now have to drive to work so i need something more reliable.

Its had a lot of time and money chucked at it and just needs sorting out. I don't know how much it would cost to get this issue sorted, if I find out its not going to cost alot in the next week i'll pay to get it fixed myself.

anyway here's the spec:

Exterior and interior:

Theres a few scratches here and there, a small scuff on the front bumper and one small dent that i know off, other than that shes a pretty creature.

I am in love with this car and its always been well maintained, cleaner regularly and had nothing other than BP ultimate fuel put through it.

probably missed a few things that ill add if i remember, but i advise you check the build thread for a full right up.

Thanks for the interest guys, killed me a bit inside taking my personal stuff out of her today, but after chatting to Gilly i'm fully confident she's in good hands, and i'll no doubt come back to starletland when i have enough money to own one as a 2nd car :)

sure i passed this gt back in july on the motorway coming back from surrey to swansea, cant remember exactly where we were when we seen it but id just driven a mate to pick up his new glanza from surrey and i was in mine (2 of them white) and im sure it was this gt that we came accross on the motorway and the 3 of us had a little dabble :) that was a good day. sun was shining, a gt and 2 ganzas sharing the same stretch of road making all the noise lol. ill never forget it :p got to love the comeradery between fellow ep owners! if it wasnt you and you have no idea what im on about then ignore me lol but it looked just like this one! :)

i thought so, cant be many black gt's with the middle spoiler, and green wheels from the swindon area heh. yeah a camera would've been a good shout...we were dabbling all the way home and constantly overtaking each other and every time we'd txt each other like kids at xmas being like "man your car looks SICK in my rear view mirror, overtake me again i wanna see the back end!" *winds window down* BRAAAAP lol and then you showed up and we were like "no waaaay!" haha. good times. xD
