gregbarton Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Hi all, Picking up my first Westfield tomorrow, a megabusa, if all goes to plan, hopefully won't get too wet!! I've previously built a GTM Libra and decided I need a bit of a change! The megabusa I'm buying is a nicely built blue 57 reg with fw rear end, pretty much a standard megabusa build, bodywork a little untidy and reverse box leaking, but still solid. Plenty for me to get stuck into!! Greg Quote

alexander72 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Greg - Welcome - I was in yeovil Satirday with my car - hope your drive home goes well Quote
tisme Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Hi Greg, I love the GTM - will be interesting to hear your views on the difference !! (I prefer the coupe version) - does anyone know if Westfield are ever going to start production again (suppose they may be struggling with Metro donors and K series engines lasting long enough ) Welcome to the world of Westfields though....

gregbarton Posted April 29, 2014 Author Posted April 29, 2014 I've added a quick photo, no problems on the drive back to mine today and even had some sun! The GTM is a great car, I just couldn't help feeling driving it was just like driving a normal car, hence why I've now gone for the opposite, a megabusa, it couldn't be any more difference! For many years now westfield have said they will start selling a westfield GTM using a space frame chassis using same doner parts as westfields and dressing it in the gtm body, but I think it is low on their list of priorities, I don't think it will ever happen! I'm looking forward to tidying up my new megabusa plenty of things to get stuck into!! Many members from the south west area? Not sure if I will venture to stoneleigh this year will be the first time I've not been for many years, I really should so I can copy some ideas from other westfields Greg Quote
Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Hi and welcome Looks like a great car Martyn Quote
gregbarton Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 Interior is a little grubby I need to remove seats and give interior panels a clean/refresh and tunnel cover panels need replacing really, that will be the next job after sorting the reverse box leak Might have to add some carbon fibre too!!

jonjh1964 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Greg, Dorset meet is tonight at 20:00 at the Brewer's Arms in Martinstown just outside of Dorchester. I'll be heading off down the A37 at 19:45 ish, slightly late as I have to drop my daughter off in West Coker for 19:30. Weather not looking too good at the moment but hope to be in an orange on black FW. Quote
