Hey, decided it would be best to start a build thread for this. Just picked it up last week, i bought it without mot but needs very little to see it through. The only niggles are it has sat for a long time so needs a good detail to bring the colour back again as the bumpers have retained the colour better than the metal which is something ive dealt with before. She also needs a good service which ive already got the bits for thanks to gts chris ive also started gathering up my stage one parts so i can up the boost the second i get it through the mot. the car is totally standard bar universal filter (wanted ad up for a good one) dump valve and full s/s exhaust. I also got a chargecooler along with purchase of the car. Other than that ive ordered a new fog as one is cracked and has filled up with water, new brakes and pads and a few other odds and ends. So with that heres some pics of it, please bear in mind the only photos i have of it are the day it was collected and my mechanic cant start the work til the end of this week so its not looking as good as it will in a wee while
and the box of goodies so far have alot to arrive this week all being well
ill keep this updated as i go along with mot, sorting the dull paintwork then finally putting it to stage one. Thanks for looking

Thanks guys appreciated
Re: bought this the other week. standard 95' GT spec turbo
I would double check on the oil dude. Toyota maybe thought you had a new Roadster (MK3 not a MK2).
Looks very clean otherwise!

the oil is 100% correct, was purchased from gts chris along with the rest of my service stuff! Thanks for the concern though!
Thanks for all the comments. got it professionally detailed so will get a few better pics of it up here shortly

Re: bought this the other week. standard 95' GT spec turbo
well thats how she sits after PMG Motorcare gave it the buffing of its life!! Looks like a new car and is 100% original paintwork which im quite sure is a rarity these days. next step is to fit the exeedy clutch ive bought then have it set up on the rollers for stage pne. i plan to keep the car totally original bar power mods. very pleased with it
Re: bought this the other week. standard 95' GT spec turbo
Nice one mate, the car literally looks like it's just rolled off the production line!
Lovely motor

Thanks very much guys! Very happy with it so far, dying to get the clutch in and up the power. it has the turbo stickers removed also, i prefer the wolf in sheeps clothing approach. thanks again folks, your all too kind!

Thanks as always for the kind words!
No updates so far im working 6 day weeks at the moment so havent had the chance to do anything! Its got all its stage one parts fitted and an exedy clutch thrown in as the old one was on its way out. Itll go to be set up soon as i get a saturday off. also bought a new toy to play with while the car goes off the road for winter, managed to get a mitsubishi mirage cyborg zr with all documents and just 80k on it. immaculate wee thing
