anyone know this Gull T-5R

[p fandango]

as its got a VPC sticker in the window i was wondering who's it was & if they've got any info on it. Bought as a non-runner (now fixed) & had been sat for 6months, although its suspected its been longer as all the brakes were seized

i've never seen the fascination with pegs, design wise they've got to be one of the most boring wheels around

Beat me to it.....Stainesy - The Tuning & Styling Guru....what a Legend

[p fandango]

you are indeed correct LINK (http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthread.php?19362-my-ride), looks like someone cared for it a bit after him & tried to get it back to standard (or atleast subtle lol). Its still got an aftermarket boost gauge & a dump valve which i'm sure are Stainesy left-overs lol

[AndysR]

Thought so, I'm not surprised if it could be improved upon from the ruin stainsey made it!! Lol

who's was the Gull that had 2 black go-faster stripes over it? or was that Stainesy's 2nd phase lol

[AndysR]

I think only Stainesy could pull such an atrocity!! Lol

Jeeeeezz... Glad the poor car has been released back into the wild before he commited anything too irreparable to it.

[T5frankie]

[leet5r]

[stephenevans99]

Hello

I own this car now and it was on swapz website. It was a non runner and it has been sat a while

It's now running again. And I'm stripping the interior out to clean everything. But it's also going to have a full repspray as well

As well as following
New brakes all round
New bottom arms
Drop links and tre

Then it will be mot

The boost gauge will be going for something better and dump valve will be going as well

Will take pics of the progress but its in good hands now

[AndysR]

Good to see/hear that the car is getting a new lease of life, make sure you keep us posted with plenty of pics :)

[richyx]

There will be plenty of pics. Though gonna need some trim panels as some are broke. Could do with a roof lining as well. Cleaning engine bay today

Good man, keep the Yellow flag flying :B_thumb:
