Hi Everyone,

First post! I've inherited a GTM from my dad who has decided he can't be bothered to rebuild it after stripping it to its component parts. After a bit of welding the chasis should be getting shot blasted and primed in the next few weeks before i start bolting it back together. I'll make a thread in the project section showing how it's going.

Anyway, he used it for competition and therefore only had a half assed wiring loom, plus he decided to cut it to bits when he was taking the car apart. Is the wiring loom essentially the same as a mini loom? Could I just modify a mini loom extending cables such as the front lights and dash connectors and move the fuse box to the rear of the car? I know it's a big job to wire the car up and i'm not looking forward to it. Would anyone have a GTM loom lying in some dark corner they no longer need?

Also the fuel tank, from the build manual it says it uses a standard Mini fuel tank. Is this the best option, or should i source one of the box ones to sit down further in the subframe? Don't know how he managed to misplace the fuel tank, but he has.

Welcome to the forum

You have no worries with wiring generally, but you really need 2 looms.

I'd get hold of a mini one, and something like a Dolomite one to simplify your dash wiring. Split them both out, splice them together, and re-wrap. I use "amalgam tape" for the rewrapping - waterproof and super flexible.

I sold my old loom to NI......

I'm sure someone on here'll have a tank going spare.

You'll be bored with a 998cc within seconds.

Your chassis has some interesting rear strengthening I see, plus some strange mounting thingies in the footwells

Welcome

Id go for a GTM tank, a mini tank wastes the space quite a bit, I had a 5.5 gallon when i was A series Powered it was a pain,

Cheers guys, any idea where I can source a GTM fuel tank from?
