Nice to see a GTM. Back in the mid 70's a friend of mine (Mike Smith KMB Autosport Wellingborough) bought the GTM moulds, panels etc and about 2 cars. He did a small amount of re engineering but never really got manufacture going. Then I believe he sold everything to a company near Kegworth? They restarted manufacture but then they had a major fire?

Given the tiny engine an acid bath. I have one engine in the car to mock everything up but this engine will be built up so I can just swap them over when fabrication is complete.

De-coked the pistons. Now in thinners to get the ring grooves clean too. Water-meth injection should help keep these clean

I'm loving the little 3 pot too.
You got any details of the spare turbo?

Managed to get some time on the manifold and got some more flanges made. Takes a while using a hacksaw and a file

Loving it. What tiny engine is it? Charade GTti 993cc turbo. 100bhp standard and some people have had 300bhp from them. I'm going to around 170-180bhp
