Baybutt Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) Hello. My name's Richard, I'm from Sheffield. This 1979 GTE belonged to my girlfriends dad in Shrewsbury and had been sat in his garage for almost 10 years. He needed the space and he's given it to us. Amazing. It didn't need a huge amount of work to get it on the road but I'm finding out lots of things which need replacing and fixing as time goes by. The fuel pump is causing me a fair bit of grief and it needs a new brake reservoir (any clue where to go for these bits) along with some rust treatment but other than that it runs well and looks fantastic. Unfortunately I know very little about cars as I've only really been able to afford to tinker with motorbikes so far but I'm learning lots very quickly. We're based in South London so if anyone knows a good parts store / garage / mechanic near Brixton then do get in touch. Enjoy the photos - it's what I do. All the best.

midasmesh Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) Hello and a warm welcome. Best bet for bits you need is to put a post in the parts wanted section, or have a look on ebay. Edited October 24, 2009 by midasmesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
