I guess I'm possibly the only Isuzu Bellett GT1600 owner in Malaysia. There is another, a sedan but its in a real bad state. I'm hoping to buy it from the guy to salvage whatever parts usable.
My car is currently in the shop, going through a major rebuilt and I will post photos of the progress soon.
Please checkout the photos below, taken earlier this year.

The previous owner had problems with sourcing replacements for the carbs and have replaced it with one from a Mitsubishi Colt. It works okay but lacks torque.
great little car ....love the air con perfect for qld weather ..and a whole lot of different badgesthanks for your photos also noted single carby? thanks again for your shots and interest regards dave
I often thought the tail end of a Bellett would lend itself to some round lights and your car proves I was right! Actually, sounds strange, but it makes it look like an Australian-built Ford Capri Clubsprint.

My latest automotive articles and original content shared here:
Dave, the round lights came off this model mini van, I was telling you about. Its a Mitsubishi Town Box or T-Box, they build these locally in Malaysia under Proton called the "Juara".
Yes, the steering came originally with the car, so says the original owner (I'm the 3rd). Like you said, there are no two Belletts that is the same. I sure would like to take a trip to the past to have a look at Isuzu's parts bin in the 70's.
Wow A GT in Malaysia! But then you guys in Borneo have plenty of JDM olskools! I've never seen a Bellett in front of my eyes. The closest one is a sedan in this local movie - Tuan Besar Some screenshots:
I'll ask a friend to trace to reg. number to see if this car is still around..
Cant wait to see the finised product
