So I sold my GT and bought this...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112150259017?_trksid=p2060353.m2748.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
...for a £184.99
I haven't heard from the seller yet but I hope to collect the car Friday, tart it up with GT bits from my shed and turn it around in time for someone to use a Winter runner or Christmas present.
My thoughts are the Mk2 HGT had a JTD option and as this is basically a 1.7 version of the 1.4 GT 128 Gen II lump it could be as much fun with a little tuning and attention.
I've trawled the thread looking for tuning options for the 1.7TD but they are limited. Even the pre-JTD 1.9 used the same turbo as the 1.7 so no boost cranking or bigger injectors from there.
My basic aim is for GT style with TD economy. I won't be doing anything too exteme...
:devil:
