My GTO 1991 3.0 NA AUTO Project

[shadowdashie]

So i bought this mk1 gto NA for the cheep price of £500 with long tax n test.

The car has very faded paint work and a very nasty bonnet with a dodgy scobby vent screwed yes screwed into it :/ just why

Also has had the rear spoiler removed that i shall be sorting along with the bonnent.

But the positive side of the car shes rust free very solid and fully working all the electrics works exepct the passanger window but will look at that at the weekend. and also comes with very nice wide ssr split rims tho they need referbing no issues for me.

Plan is to turn it around make it look nice again bit of paint work and polishing and replacing the nasty bits.

First plan is refit the insides and clean up the car.

Anyways pics as she is now will keep updating

500 quid? That is a bargain. What engine do these run? Look forward to seeing how this gets on.

I like theses, a good polish 'might' bring back some like to the paint.

There is a young lad, who has done a really good spray can respray on a clio below, which looks great in the pictures

Great cars, here's my TT, been off the road a little while now, but hoping to be done for next summer.

[william123]

Great to see your making some progress !

[stefan]

Looks good mate, let me know if you want to sell in the future and I will see how much cash I have. I would have filled in the holes in the boot if it was me as I think the rear wing looks curse word but that's just me.

I am prepping this for the Nitrous drag race treatment at the moment


Its a 1994 Toyota Celsior

[shadowdashie]

Cheers man i don't think i will be selling her for some time but if i do i will left you know first mate

and no way i got a active aero spoiler for it that i am riging up for fun (i has a plan LOL)

to have to fill 2 of the holes as no longer needed


and that going to be awesome on NOS have to come down when i got gto on road and have a look at it
