Look forward to the pictures. Its always a treat looking around Torque GTs stock. They have amazing cars there.nails said:Haha sounds like I would have no way of telling whose car his whose. I suspect there will be several DC5's there in various states of prep. I will take some pics while I am there though
I can't do this whole buying blind thing, I have to see a car in the flesh to commit to it, so I am actually going down to view two stock cars, and one of them is not a DC5........
What was up with it as it looks like a nice example in the pics?I was going to buy an EK9 rx they had in stock once, but rejected it immediately when I saw it. Let me know if you see this EK9 there...
Awesome news mate, bet you can't waitShe‘s arrived at Torque GT safe and sound, it‘s getting close now and I can‘t flipping wait

Let's just say that I think they are very selective in what is shown in the photos. The front right wheel was not symmetrical with the left hand side, oil dripping/spray underneath and overall not really worth the premium price imo.carl hammond said:What was up with it as it looks like a nice example in the pics?
I agree with that (usual car dealers do same). Avoid bolster pictures etc.aleksboch said:Let's just say that I think they are very selective in what is shown in the photos.

No I can‘t!!! Torque are keeping me updated though, it‘s been converted to mph now, Limiter removed, rear fog light fitted, passed mot with no advisories and today it‘s been in the workshop for a full check over with great feedback, having a few new parts fitted then onto the next stagecarl hammond said:Awesome news mate, bet you can't wait
I hope it looks as good in the flesh as it does in the pics mate. I will be doing a build thread from the day I pick the car up, nice to keep it all in one place and good when you come to sell itMike9000 said:Nice! Picked mine up two weeks ago after it landed in June, that was the worst wait ever. Watch out for spiders...
Made it home without breaking which was good and is now sat in the garage with various bits of trim removed for cleaning/refreshing. I might do pics/thread at some point when/if I can be arsed.
(Kinda wish I‘d waited for yours to come up Wocka, looks in better condition from the pics!)
99% of the things I hear are good things, they have been nothing but perfect for me so far, was very honest about the car and as I‘ve had one before I knew what to ask and what to look at.aleksboch said:Let's just say that I think they are very selective in what is shown in the photos.

I see this a lot on most dc5s for sale, I went to see one before I went fresh import and it look amazing in the pics but just wasn‘t in personChrismartin said:I agree with that (usual car dealers do same). Avoid bolster pictures etc.
Woop woop!!! Nearly got my hands on itRE Spirit said:Woohoo
Yeah, true. I‘ve got a log of what I‘ve done so far. Mainly cleaning up the paint, replacing worn/weathered trim, indicators etc. Mine is pretty good, but there‘s a few issues I want to address, mainly cosmetic, which in my opinion should have been on the auction report.wocka said:I hope it looks as good in the flesh as it does in the pics mate.
