Default GT bits
Agreed, a terrible thing to do to a GT indeed! At least it's a pretty sure thing the perpetrator is no longer with us.

Glad to see the bits have arrived safely due to some superhuman efforts by Euan, and very impressed to see your efforts in hopping into the task with such gusto!

Thanks Euan
The GT jigsaw puzzle has arrived. What a terrible thing to do to a GT of any description Then I felt worse when I had to skin it this arvo. So has gone from a soft skin to a no-skin
Tacked it together to get better idea of what parts require replacement. Will have to replace some of the frame due to excessive rust. So if anyone has some GT bits or steel to suit please let me know
