    Hi all,
    I am Mike from CT and I have owned my 85 GT since 87. It's a Jolepina red 5speed with some mods. Here is a pic from a track day at Lime Rock in 96. I hope to get it back on the road soon.Name:  Brutus.jpg

    Sweet GT and it's awesome that you've kept it all these years. What does she look like now? What mods did you do? What's the plan moving forward? Sorry for the barrage of questions but inquiring minds what to know.

    Welcome!
    Cheers!

    You can tell by that parts list that this is an older build and I love seeing that. Those were very good and well thought out changes.
