Here's my 240, originally a 240 and now a 2.3 turbo. It's now on the road so next on the list is bodywork and paint!

That is gonna be sick! Are those steelies banded or just painted with low prof tyres on them?

They've been modified to fit by pushing the centres in to reduce the offset. They're 16x7 ET25 at the moment, but once the rear springs are swapped for the adjustable spring seat setup I've got kicking around I'll get the rears banded out to meet the arch, so the rears will likely be 16x9/10. Tyres are 215/40 up front and 205/50 on the rear.

Its been a while since I put some pics of my car in this thread so heres some from my recent archives (a bit out of date but not too old)

The engine department is still a work in progress but its getting there slowly.

Would you believe in all those pictures there is a good thick layer of dust on it? Ive owned it just over two years and never washed it.

Its still sporting fly guts on the windscreen from the 240 mile roadtrip home from Suffolk when I bought it. Ever since then its been in my workshop getting the upgrades.

As soon as its done Ill be calling on Nick_Ovlov to give it the full valet works!

Here's my GLT. She was first registered in Germany through the Tourist and Diplomat sales in 1989 and came to the UK in 1994. I bought her last year.
