    Project 854 Gul Manual

    Ok this is the last of my Guls (although i'm looking into a third and possibly a forth) its a manual 854 ive owned for the last 2 years, its been messed about with "chaved" a bit, but I've put most of that back to standard now and its mainly just tidying the bodywork and engine bay and thank god this one doesn't need the engine pulling out.

    Its currently with t5steve who was told just to correct the paint issues, but steve is steve and has totally gone mad and near enough done a full respray!! The pics show, any rust has been cut back, treated, red oxide primed, undercoated and painted, good stirling work, he is also making a flip up rear spoiler and undersealing the floor and wheel arches.

    The wheels have been refurbed already, with new centre and bolt in valves.

    Mileage is 140k and its been through its owners, it was on a private plate and owned by enthusiasts before (might do an appeal on voc).

    Had to force myself to look at this thread, as it really makes me think that I was an idiot to sell mine. Oh well, it wasn't being used and got a great Home.

    Your car looks great.

    I got steve to tetrosyl the backs of the wings and the inner wings whilst it was all apart, real attention to detail. He's gonna end up with the other gul (minor touch up by window) and the olive 850r.

    But looks like the buggers been eating salt and vinegar Pringles in my car! Lol
