front bar and driveline would do me :P

Why are they wrecking that? That should be restored to new condition. It is too rare to destroy a GT.

It's had the interior stripped. If the guys who did it have a clue they took the ECU and the trans module as well. Side skirts are gone.

All these parts you can only get from Ford, assuming they aren't NLA. And Ford priced the hell out of them to stop fakers.

I bet it goes for a stupid ammount. At the end of the day it's a shell with rare front and rear bars, an engine that wouldn't be too hard to put together and maybe an ECU that's fairly rare.

its still an EL GT shell...
more then any mockup could be :P

Were they taken before or after it went to the wreckers though?

or go custom interior, then no one would know anyway!

XR Martin · 17-10-2006, 03:23 AM

Cant be many EF/ELs getting around with GT interiors, so any that are about, I would be highly suspicious.

**Professor Farnsworth** · 17-10-2006, 03:41 AM

niko · 17-10-2006, 09:20 AM

AGREED!! idioits who even let it be stripped! it wouldnt matter so much with a BA GT as there production line, but the e-series GT's were special cars with limited numbers and not one of them should EVER be wreaked!

DJL351 · 17-10-2006, 11:13 AM

All EL GT part are O.N.R. (Obsolete Not Replaced)

The only chance of returning it to "new" condition is to buy it and wait for
another one to get king hit, written off and then combine the two cars to make one.

The car is a dead duck. :(

Did you even read the rest of the thread?

apolloxbgt · 17-10-2006, 12:09 PM

Wonder if the one(s) that stole it will be at the auction.
They buy it refit all the hard to find parts,and have a legit gt.

Very wrong,but happens quite a lot I'm told.

Bipolar · 17-10-2006, 02:00 PM

Sad pics.

I suppose that's the type of bullshyt that increases the value of the rest of them.

XR Martin · 18-10-2006, 03:26 AM

You could get the steering wheels on ebay for fairly cheap, so im guessing the guy already had one.
