Hey everyone. I do not think I posted about this . I have had it for a while. I picked up 2 "New" Bradley GT2 projects. First one was a rolling/running car from NH and the second was a body with all the glass, seats, etc.
Here is the first one...
And the second...
I have the chassis all painted and I have moved on to getting all the tins off the car so they can be blasted and repainted.
Got a bunch of new parts in the mail from Henry at Bugoholics in TX, and will be ordering some more to get it finished off.
Thats about where it stands |

The GT2 is a great looking kit design. The proprietary windshield is a heartbreaker though. Looking forward to reading about your builds.

| My GT2 build was one of the more enjoyable builds. Terrible headlight lift design and doors could use some help but overall its a pretty well engineered kit. |

Surprisingly out of all the stuff I have owned this is my First GT2 . I just needed a project for my website and this one fit the bill.

Looks like you are off and running with this one! You wiring from scratch, or getting a kit for that? That thing is ripe for an ICT or dual Kad setup...looks sweet with the alternator, nice job

| I am going to use a rebel wire harness. Its the best one I have used. Not to mention I do not have the patience to wire from scratch. |

My son is close to driving age and wanted a Bradley GT2. We saw one on Craigslist but the windshield had a big crack in it. That was a deal breaker for us :(
Anyway, I heard but not sure that the rear end can develop a sag in the fiberglass body due to lack of structural support. This may cause door fitment issues. Do you notice any of that in your Bradleys? |

Yup..very common in most, if not all GT2.
And just some advice...the Bradley GT2 would be a terrible car for a new driver. |

As it was said its common in just about all GT2s . And I agree that the GT2 is not a good first car . Its a toy. Get a honda for the kid lol
