Default G5 TOO

My mate bought G5 TOO and it was half stripped... includeing the 1.9 engine.

He couldnt stand to see the car being striped so he bought it and put a 1.6 back in produceing 220-240bhp @ girld dale motor sport (you may have it in the history) it was pretty much a shell but he sorced most parts to re create it, Last we saw of it was in southend when he swaped it for a 2wd saff cossie.

What is the condition of the car now? any pics? plans for it?

when i brought it i was in a bit ov a state as in the interior was half missing engine was ok but it was runnin 24psi boost when i test drive it all the engine has been messed about with so just trying to sort it all out at the moment, the bodywork is still mint tho.
Il try and get some pics soon mate,
and plan for it is to make it as nice as it was before and still deciding on what engine to opt for.
was you the owner or was it your mates?

That was a good car (sure it still is). I heard most of the original parts had been sold from it but it's cool you're wanting back to how it was. I personally prefer the cut out on the bumper, but it's good to see you're doing your own thing with it. I've only got a couple of photos of it, I'm glad it's still kicking about.

yeaa deferentially want it how it was looks real nice, after seeing the pics u just posted i think that has made my mind up to cut it out, dont worry i wont do it myself my m8 works in a body shop so its very handy. most of the parts had been sold when i brought it but slowly getting the bits together to bring it back to how it looked before
