TinaGT32 0 Posted February 12, 2016 Hi folks, My Dad has got a MK2 Series 1 2 door GT resto project that he is thinking of selling. It's a LHD in Saluki Bronze. Believed to be a 1500GT. The shell sat in a Dutch barn for many a year but it was in dry storage and, importantly, was covered in a wax like substance which has very much saved it. The shell is solid!! Floorpans are like new really. Underneath appears in very good order. From what I can see, there is a patch needed in one of the rear quarter wells and the A pillar returns on both front wings will need attention. The doors both shut with a very solid clunk. The paint, where good, has survived remarkably well but there is some surface issues that mean that a respray would be the way to go. There is no engine and box in the car. Some interior but not the right ones. Though the door cards are in good condition. The Dash has the correct gauge pod across the top and I believe all gauges are with the car. It's not a couple of weekends work, but it is a really good base for a restoration with not a lot of shell work needed (from what my untrained eye can see!)And, its a two door GT which makes it rare, surely! A two door GT plate can come with the car. This was retained for a re-shell but its entirely up to you if you wish to apply for new plates for this one. Afraid I haven't worked out how to put pictures on here yet but can easily send some via phone etc, for any interested parties. Will probably end up listing this on Ebay in the near future, but wanted to give you guys a shot at it first. A rare shell in good solid condition. He has an idea of what he'd like to get for it. Anyone interested, come and view and make an offer :) Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

consul315 172 Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) i ve seen the car in the flesh last summer when i collected some parts from Mark. it´s very, very solid and saluki is one of the nicest colour you can think of! :icecream: if i hadn t already got some S1 MK2s i would sail over and snap that up! good luck with the sale Mark :thumbup: , though i think you won t need it, as i suppose it will sell quickly! here is some of my pics (note the rare steering wheel with alloy spokes, sought after by Escort and Capri Mk1 Boys as well): Edited February 13, 2016 by consul315 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
