Last seen on my trailer in 2009, since then has been in storage in the unit, which I can safely say was built around it...

Has it ever been on the road since you've had it?

Here's a pic of mine taken about 1998. Wonder if it's still around.

Good to see another GTM on here. My Rossa2 has been off the road for a few years.

It was white originally and I painted it Tahiti Blue, seems its changed colour again since then.

That looks a nice one. How long did you have it for?

[cradley-heathen]

the idea of gtm coupe with a turbo in it really does it for me, i had a rossa2 last summer and really enjoyed it. it just wouldnt fit in the garage with my metro in there too, so one of them had to go, the gtm lost.

 

as someone else up there said, insurance was dirt cheap which was good, and the handling was fantastic too.

 

cant wait to see this finished

I had it for about 5 years, although 3 of them it was off the road. I sold it because I could never get to the bottom of the cooling/overheating problems I had with it and had just bought a Nissan Pulsar GTI-r.

Looking back I think the water pump wasn't up to the job of pumping that much coolant around the enlarged system of the GTM and maybe an electric pump would have solved my problems.

Was a great car though, I now have a Mk1 MR2 which reminds me of the GTM.

My mates just bought a mk1 mr2, great to drive but the big ends have just gone so need to rebuild the engine

Got the subframe cut up now ready to weld in the new mounts. Had to change the gtm framework in the back to move the engine over

[mayoturbo]

 

 

engine now mounted. Still got work to do to the subframe

[MR J]

Looking good, should make a nice conversion.

[mayoturbo]

Decided to change the frame in the GTM again so cambelt can be done in situ. I think I'd regret it if I didnt do it now

Made some new aluminium Louvre engine covers for the GTM. Look a lot better and are a fair bit lighter too!

 

If anyone else with a GTM coupe wants a set too PM me
