Looks like it's an easy fix, and a tidy car (other than the problems you've highlighted). I thought GTs had the stereo upgrade with the dash top speaker (mine has :D ) but yours has electric seats so must be a GT. What are your plans for it?

[Immingham]

Yep it is a GT electric seats and the speaker in the top of the dash, Sunroof and aircon too. :funkybana
Going to tidy it up for my Dad, he's always wanted one.

Not looking forward to buying tyres for it, 225/40/18. :yikes::yikes::yikes:

Couldn't see the dash top speaker from that camera angle, pre ME7 T5 GTs are getting rare now, so keep hold of it. ;)

looks like great project! as for the tyres wont be that scary just put for new 225 40 18s on the missus leon although buget accelera alpha which to be honest i think they are fine no road noise ect the missus aint no race driver lol and the depot says cant hold out on them to taxi drivers lol 50 a corner

[AcidicDavey]

Nice for someone to be saving one of these for a change...

I bet you could sell the wheels for the price you paid! Wouldn't mind them myself ;)

Strange door cards too, not seen some with the stitching before on a C70.

[Immingham]

Well it's done and gone, My old mans well chuffed. 120 miles home and 36mpg... not a single beat was missed.

[theflyingbrick]

looks alright for the money,tbh im starting to lean towards a c70 but the same as yours cant be dealing with all that me7 bowlocks ;)

[stribo]

Looks good mate, good to see another one saved.

[rikcougar]

Nice one, got to be worth it for the wheels alone

Another one saved and the dark ones polish up beautifully with a bit of effort
