Hello to all,
First a big "thank you" to the moderators to make this forum alive!!
I'm a happy owner of a GTD 40 for quite some time.
It's a quite standard GTD40 with the usual components and even with a Rover V8.
Nevertheless a nicely tuned example with quad dellorto's on top..
The car has aged well and has a nice patina which I want to keep. It is an oldtimer anyway.
After buying the car I did quite some changes + restoration way back in the nineties to make the car usable on the road.
New cooling system, oilcooler, new interior, some engine work, electrical work has been done and extensive cosmetic changes.
But after that I basically kept it running and enjoyed it.
But now after other project, car/none car, I decided to upgrade the car step by step. I want to keep it a running restoration.
A new paint job has been done already some years ago.
So here are my steps:
1- Upgrading the brakes -> still Granada/scorpio
2- New tires -> now old BFg's
3- New suspension
4- New Engine
5- ...
So I hope to get some help here and also give some of my experience to others.....
Herewith some pics of the car:
