Hi everybody!

this is the story of my y10 GT i.e.

i saw her 5 or 6 years ago...i saw her everyday in the same place, abandoned. after i've bought the Y10 Turbo and forgotten the GT until i saw her in another place, still abandoned near my girlfirend's home







her conditions was desperate, but i wanted it, i payed 400€ and pulled in my garage





the firts thing, i've done, was the drain of all liquids, changed with news:
-engine oil
-gearbox oil
-antifreeze (there wasn't anything in the radiator since the waterpump was broken)
-belts
-spark plugs
-fuel pump
-filters
-tires
-something else

do you like the old tires?



and the old interiors?:bang:



anyway...i've washed it, put new wheel covers and original radiator grill





used new bonnet, luckily found in scrap



new used front bumper



google maps original site :devil:



fixed the automatic heater system



new parts to remove the rost in the rear left fender

















then, to the bodyshop for the solders and the painting













and...........come back home again



new alcantara interiors (LX i.e.)







on the green

i hope you like it and my work

Lovely Job - a bit of inspiration for my own Y10 GTie

I'm very envious of your digital heating panel - if you tell me it has aircon I shall probably

VERY lucky...its destiny was to donate roof and engine and go to scrap. the rear bumper was hold by the rear supports. the rusted support need only to keep it in position with the fender

i think your GT also will be beautiful!!! :slayer: it's RED!!:devil:

for the heating system, unfortunately it hasn't aircon, no GT i.e. in Italy had AC . there was some aftemarket kits, like Diavia and Autoclima, but they are very very veeeeery rare!!

Nice

And is the digital climate / cabin temp controls on the dash I see
