New GTA owner

Postby Buzzer » Fri Dec 17, 2021 5:38 pm

Hi,
Just acquired non turbo GTA. J367UPB. Been off the road for a while and a few bits to do to get it ready for the summer. Been after one of these for most of the year.
List of jobs growing but they always do!

Here are a few pics of the car. I will sort out sending more pics of details of the car.
Been off the road a while. In general it is a tidy decent car. I haven't found anything other than surface rust so far. It had a major engine rebuild 15 ys ago but not done a lot of mile since. stainless branch manifold
Main jobs to do,
Sort out the brakes, long pedal travel and a rear calliper bleed nipple broken off
Some play in the front steering so investigate and new rack?
Rough idle, overall the carbs
Change the water pump
Some interior tidying up centre console but not a lot
Intermittent release of drivers door lock

Finding out some part are pretty rare (even worse than my Lotus!)


Mark, I'm in Beaconsfield south Bucks.

I think that used to be mine. Are there signs of it being a different colour previously?

Stephen. It might be. Jason the previous owner said if I remember correctly it used to be yellow and was resprayed early in its life. There are no real signs of an old colour but I haven’t looked too closely.
Any further history would be nice to have. I have got a lot of the previous maintenance info.
