Phantom GTR / Vortex Builders come on in
If you've built or are building a Phantom GTR / Vortex then this is the place to share your experience with fellow enthusiasts.
The Phantom is arguably (without doubt in my mind) the prettiest kit car to be produced thus far so it's only right there should be a section on the Madabout Forums dedicated to it. http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/kitc...vortex2005.jpg You can make it as successful as you want, this is your forum.:pop2: Cheers, John Madabout-Kitcars.com |
Wow... that is nice. Hope to see more of them in the future! :D
|
I bought the green one in the above picture and it is currently undergoing a full rebuild/transformation!
Story is on my website... Rich |
Ouch :jaw:
Looks like you have your work cut out there. Here's a picture of it.....pre prang http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/kitc...eenphantom.jpg |
There someone talk audio building one of these I'll send him this way :)
|
I've already told Ed about it, I'm sure he'll be on here shortly... It's all his fault I bought mine and am now collecting high end audio!

Just posting this to show I'm around, Had mine on the road for two years now and it hasn't failed to start yet!
Off to the States for two weeks from Wednesday so I'll expect to see at least 100 pages when I return. Nick Birmingham |
Would love to see more pictures in the Phantom Gallery for those of you that have completed your cars. Just love the look of it and would like to gather up as many pictures as possible from as many angles. Saw a picture on PH I think it was of a Lambo Orange one which looked the dogs dangly bits. :hail:
Direct link to the Phantom gallery is here.... http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/71/71picgallery.htm Cheers, John |
There are a few pics on my 'gallery' page of different cars..
Who's going to be at Stoneleigh then? Rich |
Ricola this one just looks so right (I'm guessing it's been photoshopped)
http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/kitc.../orangegtr.jpt What colour are you planning for yours. John |
Yes, that' a photoshop, also lowered more than is feasable unfortunately.
The front running colour for mine is the newish BMW silver, kind of a dull finish like titanium (will have to find out its proper name), with black leather interior. |
just put a load of my photos that ive got at work onto the gallery on here :)
The orange with black wheels is probably what mine will come out like. Picking my body up in a couple of days. Getting all excited again :D:D:D |
Great pictures Eddy, all now showing in the gallery :thumb:

Another Builder Joins This Group
Most of you guys know me from Pistonheads but this looks like a welcome new home for those of us with grease to the elbows and heavy frowns putting a Vortex together :)
Mine's at rolling chassis stage (since last Autumn) and I hope with the warmer weather to get back on it and - maybe - get it done this year. It's a very early shell that I took over as an un-stated project so it's lacking a few of the later mods. Norman changed the whole suspension as mine had dodgy early (weak) parts. Bog standard low-miles manual 2.7 with air-con. Now getting on to electrics and thoughts of paint and trim. Not sure whether to get the body painted before dropping on to chassis - looks like some of you guys are doing it that way round. Colour choice keeps changing - was to be Peugeot Aegean Blue or Subaru WRC blue but quite fancy pealescent black. That Candy Red does look great on the "works" car. Also have a Corsa electric column and am looking to maybe build that in - not sure yet. I'll keep you posted and put up some pictures when I get time. Cheers Greg |
Hi all,
nice to have another place to chat. Not much progress over the last month - still at the loom stage, at this rate I might even take longer than Phantoms official loom maker ! Ken. |
