Bring a magnet to check for body filler/bog just 2 be sure, i once checked a pink hq monaro in shepparton n the guy said the body was good, but my dad brang a magnet n found that the bottom half of the whole car was full of bog n even under the door was replaced with fibreglass n not metal Any1 check the sII yellow bt1 turbo on carsales with the black dash?

KLR-747, also im preety sure the door trims are calais and only the seats are walky. omgbt1, I might go have a look at it if he is negotiable on price.

I called him up a few nights ago aswell, missing tags, needs respray, it needs a new boonet and boot he said he will supply that already hifiled so all you have to do is spray it, it has rust under carpet, spare wheel is front and rear window i think aswell, cigaret burn on the rear seat, leaks oil, its got a t3/4 cause the t3 blew up, running 14psi on high 9 on low. There is no proof being a original bt1, yes it got the drop tank etc but then again i dont know P.S he told me this all over the phone who knows what it would be when you go and check it out. Also for the people who are so intrested in buying he said he will let it go for 6.5k so forget the 7k firm part of the story.

But then again that isnt walky trim? just walky seats.

[quote=KLR-747]with all that said ill go there and offer 5g cash He said he wouldnt go lower, he said its an original bt1 and it should have sold much more cause of the tags. I personally wouldnt pay 5k but you can always go down there and try.

man it's just down the road from us in watsy, so go check it out... it'd have to be worth at least 6k though if it's an original bt1 i reckon especially with the seats it's got...but what's the worst he could say... so go check it out asap...

URHONR - im gonna go and have a look on the w/e CRUZ3N - yeh i know man, may aswell hes close by got nothing to loose. only reason i want it is coz of the seats, and damn it looks clean in the pictures.

At my tafe we have got a canary (defect sticker) on the wall that is registged to the car KLR 747 i presume its yours?

KLR-747, its definantly clean in the pictures. I went to see it myself and he told me everything over the phone just as he did for URHONR. He said he will take 5gs but he keeps the cooler and gauges. Like I said KLR-747, the seats are walky but the rest isnt.

Unmarked - thats sweet, he can keep his cooler and gauges not fussed im gonna arrange to see this over the w/e and ill update the overall condition of it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ah ok i thought it mite have been you...naa tafe at richomond that bt1 looks mint, hard to tell if its genuine but. id pay 7 for it though

can you even tell if it's a genuine Turbo shell? from those pics not sure, but it looks to have the NA brake booster... anyone have better pics of it? (the first BT1).. But this has come up on here before as well...

Yeah SirGeo thats the only thing that was holding me back from buying it. He had no way of proving it was an original turbo/mx7 manual let alone bt1. I was keen at the start though.

Sirgeo a bit of topic accept my car so it can be featured in the vl turbo section it said moderators have to accept please accept it lol

if his price is 7k and u offer 5k i would laugh at you and tell you to piss off!!! also as said before bt1's have different things to them like one bloke said before check the boot for the 4 holes, no power steering just little things bt1's came out with!!! pm me if u want and ill come and look with ya dude if im free

Brake booster looks standard to me in that pic Okay where exactly would the engine number be? what side of the car? anyway way i could tell its a turbo shell by looking at the id plate on the front window?

Just check for the bits and pieces dude, but i got a bit scared over the phone after i heard all the issues, and im sure if i went to have a look i will spot more. But see how you go. All the t3 had blew up on him, so they replaced with a t3/4 im sure this thing has ben canneed alot in past history, and of the members on here mentioned when he went for a spin the diff was makeing noice. Also it leaks oil. fair bit of rust, no id tags, not original interior which i cant complain with the walky interior, needs a new boot and bonnet, hes supplying its hifilled. Then again your choice but i wouldnt touch it. Let us know how you go with it. If you got msn add me [email removed] and i can give you a few hints there.

seems like a heap of trouble, probably only worth 2 or 3 grand.... sounds like that one at the dandy car yard they wanted 13 or so grand for because it was a bt1... woop dee doo... this is the timeyou need my attitude... its just a bloody yellow sl, thats all im buying, a stock standard non turbo auto sl, thats been painted yellow, and had a turbo motor and mx7 put into it....for all you know, thats what it could be, no tags... just like the time i found a vl calais in a car yard for 3 grand or so something like that, i had a look at it, he was bull****ting me about all the work done to the motor, so i thought i would give him a piece of bull**** back, i told thim the gearbox is stuffed, motor has a slight bottom end rattle, its not a calais, not a hdt bodykit and a few other stuff, and walked away, he comes upto me, and says to give him a grand for it..... kept walking get under to check if the diff is lsd look inside the boot, under the engine bay, under doors and sills to see if it has had a respray check for them holes in the back

yeh when i go im gonna sus out the whole car, should have tag on the diff housing if its lsd yeh? well my old bt1 did anyway. also whats this vic police papers under the carpet??
