Default Few more progress pics of my 1.6 GL

Rich has the engine and box out of the rs500 shell and so I cleaned it up a bit ready to go back into its new 1.6gl home.







We also trial fitted the boot and doors briefly today just to make sure they are happy to line up on the new shell etc.


Coming along slowly but surely

i dont have the 1.6 gl badges, and the cossie kit and sound of the turbo spooling are a bit of a clue its not a normal 1.6gl.

i shall get some 2.0 GLT badges made maybe though.

Bit like my 1.3 MK5 shell, pointless keeping it badged up as that as you cant mistake the gurgling and the whistling sound of the RST engine

If you get bored of the paint work you should mayby think about decalling it like the Benson & Hedges Aussie Touring Car RS500's

Examples:
