Hi there. my dad has gave me his gte exclusive which he has owned for 21 years. he turned it into a heavily modified sprint car, but stopped competeting about 10 years ago, since then the shell has been dry stored. its now my project to get it back on the road as a fast road track day toy. all i have is a bare shell with a cage and a 400 kit on it.

hopefully will be a full member soon and can show my progress on the project

looking forward to speaking to you all!

Hi Andy,
Welcome to our forum,
You will find a wealth of advice and knowledge on here and your local area chappies I am sure will help you as much as they can.
Good luck with your project, sounds really interesting, will get on and have a look at your car on the project thread you have started.
Fiona :thumbup
