i bid on a few on ebay but always miss out by seconds...

seen that 1 on pistonheads but theres no pics, i need the car to get me home so id like to see a few pics lol..

@craig ye i seen that gte but its to dear for what i want and looks to go to strip plus i way prefer the gsi shape...
plus im being gready i want a second gsi...
im gone built a gte next, iv found a mint early model nova van with a genuine 46k and no even surface rust on it, must throw up a few pics...

I'm having trouble finding a good 1.6 donor too :( although went for a run round the block the other day and have seen a red GTE parked on a drive gathering moss, will see if i can get it when i've got rid of the Diamond lol That red GTE for sale looks odd, did they come with rubbing strips on the side? Haven't seen any like that before.

the gte craig said about looks mint, but does require work... would be a good winter project...

needs driver's front wing, rear wing, and door and rear chassis leg repairing properly.

it is a lovely looking car though, absolutely standard!

my winter reshell is commencing this weekend, collecting a gte (minus the shell lol) this weekend :)
