The build..


Started life as a accident write off BRG MK3 GT6 about 8 years ago and intentions were to sort damage out and use, new bonnet and chassis job done.
As most of my own projects are scratch built i just wanted a GT6 that i could use on the road, nothing special sort of thing so didn't need to be totally gutted just repaired.
So..Yep i couldn't help myself it was totally gutted to a bare shell.
The shell had been repaired and was basically solid so nothing was done except to cut a hole for a sunroof....aaaaaaaaahhggg i here you say , well it did have a glass pop up 80s style one in it already which was horrid so not wanting to weld the hole up, just put a more in keeping webasto one in its place.

Loving it....


Well its back to work after a well earned holiday with the family in Devon.
Batteries recharged and the warmer weather is certainly working its magic.
The rusty GT6 was sorted and MOTd before my holls and booked for a total makeover during next winter, it certainly needs it !!
Stoneleigh show was good for me this year seeing plenty of faces and kicking off this years events, didn't like the halls much though or the Triumph parking miles away from anything as i like to go see the cars. Did see my old 2000 MK2 in the car park looking the bo@@$cks as is obviously been restored after the front end accident it was sold with..And my old knackered 1600 Vitesse too which could also do with a bit of work now (come on jimbo get it sorted) lazy students !!
My MK1 is earning its keep now as its being used as my daily driver and tow vehicle and looked quite good bringing in the latest insurance job Spitfire if i must say.
