C70 t5 gt

[Immingham]

It's only a small project,
1998 C70 GT T5, bought with a nasty clunk on the front. for a grand total of £250 with mot..

Upon further inspection (once i got it home), this is what I've found,
Front top shocker mounts worn,

Both wishbones are shot.

Drivers seat won't move,
Exhaust rear hanger snapped off,
Dent in the bottom of both doors,
Engine Stabilizer bush knackered,
All 4 tyres are kaput.
Inner CV boot split
Snapped stud in front hub
Running on 3 cylinders
Breather system completely blocked up.
No interior lights.
And it needs a valet or decontamination.. It's Hangin!!




But other from that it's mint !!!
I've had to call in reinforcements.. DAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!

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 ) 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.
Going to tidy it up for my Dad, he's always wanted one.

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

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.





and now sporting a set of titans (off mine while we source some tyres for the 18's)

Looks like a landrover because i'd just dropped it off the jacks..

[stribo]

Looks good mate, good to see another one saved.

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
