Here's my GTD, on the road in August this year after I've personally completed a five year restoration/rebuild. A few weeks after the car passed it's MOT I used it for a wedding car (!!) & the week after I entered it in a ASWMC sprint to give it a proper shakedown! Despite only having covered a 100miles or so the car went like a dream, passed scrutineering with flying colours & even sailed thru the noise test at 99Dba!
It started life as a standard GTD. Modifications carried out during the resto include lowered engine, aluminium uprights, rose jointed suspension, one peice peg drive hubs, ap racing brakes, full roll cage, tilton pedal box, Derek Bell/R21 trans, Rod change, 7.25 inch paddle clutch, superlight flywheel, SVO 302, full repaint, all ally panels, AC, Dockings rad, 5 point harnesses, leather & loads more. Overall the car drives, handles, stops & goes massively better than it did in standard form.
Many parts were specially fabricated locally & by various specialists all over the country. I have a HUGE list of people to thank for assisting me with the build, A big thanks to the highly skilled Brian Magee for all the help, my Wife for being so fantastic about this crazy project, and to the many other forum members (Ron for creating the forum!) and friends who gave much free advice, time & assistance, especially Mike Drew & our mutual friend Johnny Woods. I hope I can repay all the favours soon!
