kpnuts Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Hi all my boss asked me to build this kit for him but as a GTS First thin on my list (there is so much on the list) The kit is for a 6 spark engine(the GTS was 12 spark) so 12 HT leads and 2 coils, so cut the first coil off the fan shroud (not mounted there on a GTS) and cut the distributor off to make room for the new 12 spark one. Here is what the kit supplies So i cut it off Heres a start the new distributor Still got to add the 2 coil wires but OK for a start. Luckily we have the car he wants it modeled on at work (so no shortage of reference pics) (There is so much to change) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Started flaring the rear wheel arches. The front will be a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Hi all I don't have the colour for this yet but I wanted to check i had the flaring right (which in primer you cant) so I sprayed the only quality colour I had on it just to check the finish (this was 2 pack paint so not full gloss) i just wanted an idea As you can see a few problems to sort This is what we're aiming for.

kpnuts Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 Started on the interior (could be a problem here as the restoration at work hasn't got this far) its quite interesting as to why these things take so long to complete (this restoration has taken 4 yes so far) reason being it was 1 of 4 cars built to this specification the other 3 no longer exists so the restoration keeps going on hold till the correct parts appear which can take months or even years to turn up.
