Gardner Douglas T70 hits the road

[striker]

Hi All,

It's been a long time since I was here,

Years ago I started to build a 1uzfe with twin compressors that was supposed to go into a GD-T70 chassis.
After trial fitting, and a little debate about the fact that I wouldn't chop up a €8K chassis in favor of fitting a €300 engine, the idea was discarded and sold in favour of a GM LS1 engine that did fit.

I promised back then that I would keep Lextreme posted if the car should hit the road, so here I am 4 years later.

The build website can be found at,

Thanks Thomas - it's a beautiful car and the photographer definitely knows what he's doing too!

Fantastic!!

You were very lucky the whole car didn't go up in flames on the test drive.

Thanks Guys, good to see you're all still here.

Yeah indeed Bushwacker,
I truly cannot understand why Russell has not stopped selling these stupid quick release couplings.
The problem is not the seal since it's equiped with triple O-rings. but the locking mechanism just fails without prior notice. I just locked it in place for the home trip with tieraps. and ordered the other one.
