My 1990 GT Turbo Starlet

after 4 years of wanting it,my cousin's GT is finally mine.
we bought it from a friend of ours who had fecked off to America in 2006 and it spent a few months in my place with a broken engine.

then is disappeared for a year or two only to re-emerge with a new engine fitted.
turned out his insurance company wouldn't cover him so the car was sitting up for 2 years outside his place.

i started getting annoyed with the fact that it was going to waste at his place so i demanded he sell it to me.
so i spent the last 2 days at the car and now shes running fine and all so i'm in the process of getting it home!

the car needs work,i'm not going to deny that.
for example,paint cracked on front bumper,back bumper,missing the front left-hand arch moulding(which i have),interior seats have fag burns,doorcards are marked and the plastic is going weird on them(i can't describe it but ye'd know what i mean if ye saw it)bits and pieces of the dash were sprayed silver,the plastic console that surrounds the gear stick has holes cut for speakers,there some other stuff too!

i'm not planning on selling it anytime soon so i'll be fixing everything!!

here are some quick pics i took with a camera phone before i headed for Cork again.

With traders like Jay around you should be able to get everything you need to fix it up cheaply. Good luck with the project and enjoy.

well i'll have to get it resprayed at some stage but i'd like a different colour.
every GT around the place is gunmetal grey!
i know its a savage colour but i'd like something different to the rest.

ya well ye sure have the cleaning tools now anyway ha ha i hope it dont rain my car was never so clean :):):)

we do indeed!
i'll slap up a thread in a bit anyway about that.

my cousin isn't letting me take the car away from Kerry until he has it NCT'd again anyway.
its going in for the test on the 12th and hopefully we'll have the tax book back by then so i can tax it too.
then it will be back in Cork!! :D
