Anyone fancy a rare Competition Orange GT

[croyde]

It's up for sale.

Gutted to have to be doing this but minuscule work since Christmas means rent and child maintenance take priority.

You aint got to remove the front bumper to get the fogs off... by the way, happy if you want to bring it up here with a replacement fog and i'll fit it for you, probably take me an hour

 

[croyde]

It's the black plastic surround that the fogs sit in. Cheers for the offer tho. Ta

I know, I've seen your post before with it cracked, and it can be done without taking the bumper off, I removed them last week and had them painted then refitted them, all without the bumper off. .

Ah. Any chance of how to.

Did you need ramps or lift?

Neither, I did it on the floor, turned the wheel 'in' to the car, pulled arch liners out then removed all the 7mm bolts in there, i have a flexi headed screwdriver which can get into some of the awkward spaces of them.

There's 15 7mm bolts 2 with "washers" built into them, 13 standard. Then pop it out

Pops out, put the 3 bolts back into the indicator/sidelight bit of the new piece.

Put that into the car then replace all the bolts less 6, so 5 holding screws, then put the fog back in, then the 3 bolts that hold that.
Then put the 'Fog' holder in and replace the 3 screws for that. then you're done.




If you want, I can do them for you if you come up here, really doesn't need me, but they're a peace of cake, just an hour screwing shit off lol.

Well that's poxy. You were a pioneer! Please sell the BM

Hope the work picks up. You could try a crowd funding site as you are practically a national treasure; I'm up for a tenner

Thanks. The ol Beemer is probably worth 500 tops.

And Manders, blimey! that's a lot of screwing around lol

Sooner do that than remove the bumper lol ;)! Bumper is another load of screws... AND those 15 too lol... It's probably the most held in part of the car, it's mental how well held in it is.

Yea chin up. Work's always cyclical. Stick it out and you'll catch the upturn.

Cheers.

Well so far a possible scammer and a trade enquiry.

Trade very polite, took my details and rang me back a couple of hours later and offered 30k.

Fair enough, they want to make money. I refused.

They do have an RR 2016 GT auto with full options and half the miles of mine at £34,995.

Makes mine expensive in comparison.

Maybe I'll be calling them back to bite their hand off.

They were this lot

Seems ok. Not pushy.

Made an offer, I declined. Chap said do ring back if you wish to take up our offer.

The RR one shows as reserved, so hopefully there is a demand. Yours is more appealing to someone who wants a manual without the silver bits; and it's orang, which some people like :shrug:

Hang in there

Obviously Orange is for us more traditional Muscle Car pilots
