Hello!
After many months searching for a half decent 5, I now have one!
Thanks to Mike @ GT Turbo Spares. Really love this car, and apart from tidying up a couple of dents it's mint. Virtually no rust at all.
It's staying completely standard. Looking at having it resprayed in the new year and the interior tidied up. All ready for next summer.
She's safely tucked away in the garage.
I have attached images to my profile cos I have no idea how to attach them on this thread.
Davo
Looks spot on :agree:
Thanks fella. Looking forward to getting it resprayed and the exterior perfect.

First of all its gonna get the once over from Dale (Bigfoot) for anything missing etc
Then next weekend the torsion bar is being rubbed down and painted and the underside waxoiled.
Then the front seats back to their former glory, Then the respray mate. The tungy in the restoration is gonna be my inspiration. I think Jonny5's one. Looks fantastic. If this one looks half as good as that by the end i'll be chuffed to bits.
If you're from Shrewsbury u must know Dan Grier?
Looks a beut :) I need a minter in my life is there many out there? I wouldn't even know were to begin looking for it? Plus this 5s killing all my funds lol using a 5 as a daily gets expensive to keep on top of..
Yea i know him lol how do you know him yea i think jonny 5's is the best tungy in the club imo i have a tungy and i think jonnys is definatly the bench markQuote:

Thanks for all the comments, Makes me so eager to get it ready for the summer :)
Lovely looking tungy :agree:
Try and keep it O.E, dont get carried away with the mods if you can help it :)
There's not many unmolested minters like this left.

Its gonna be completely O.E. Standard everything. Its even got the original number plates and stuff. Just need the standard tape player and standard exhaust and its completely standard.
How much was your respray BTW??
Love your Car!!
New poster! (less than 10 posts)
very very tidy that matey you must be chuffed to bits :)
I really do love it fella. I didn't think I'd get one in this condition. Pressing on with the project already. Ill post pics as I go.
Thanks for looking everyone.
seen this in the flesh a few months ago and its every bit as nice as the pics. enjoy mate you have a lovely one there
Cheers mate, I can't wait for the summer now. Really looking forward to seeing some of the other cars on the siteQuote:

Pm'd about Respray ;)
Ill PM you my email address, be great to see some more pics.
As for my one, I've just zip tied up some of th harness as it was rubbing slightly, then I soldered in new wiring to the radiator fan (it had been crimped) so soldered up and then heat shrink over and some electrical tape over it an secured.
Ran it up, the fan cut in fine. Happy days. I might get a low temp switch to get the fan to cut in a bit earlier than normal. Just for peace of mind.
I'm off to Ipswich in her tomorrow (if its dry).
It smells like it could be running a bit rich- any ideas?
Looks great, but you need some OE mats in there.
Interior reminds me of how mine was
You got your 5 back yet fella? I kept tabs on your thread. Is it all sorted yet?Quote:

He has everything I swear. Lol. Looks like il be making a trip down to him in a couple of weeks. Im gonna take the door cards off the front this week and try and dye the material back to matching grey, one side is lighter than the other at the moment.Quote:

They're great mate, that your red one? Nice house!
Yer the red ones mine mate and the black phase 1 is Daves, no not my house mate it's my parents where my car lives as I have a flat with no garage :cry:Quote:

Not sure how it would come out though?
If you can't find any through mike where the car come from the only thing I can think of is speak to the flocking company in here think it's Phoenix autosport or something like that his work looks very impressive and I bet he could almost colour match and re cover your door cards mateQuote:

No I have decided to sell it only joking it will stay as it is for now have a couple of things to do on it when I can but then when I have more funds I'll look in to a few more Tweeks to try and get a bit more power ;)Quote:

Phoenix Autosport, do the flocking. Look up the threads with the door card pics, they are awesome, certainly the next best thing to OE and much better than most OE door cards out there!
Thanks for the info there, ill get onto them first thing Monday. I'm going to re glue my door cards shortly and underseal it.Quote:
Originally Posted by Trevhib

Rear door cards unfortunately are buggered, so I'm going to get them replaced.
Then i spent ages rubbing lots of old mud and crap from the bottom and I then wax oiled it. It's possibly the messiest job u can do.
Just got to remove the exhaust and finish a second coat of wax oil and fit the OE exhaust and the underside and arches are finished.
Undersealing has transformed the car underneath- it looks like new. Ill add some pics after the exhaust has been replaced.
Next up is the rear door cards to be re trimmed. Then onto the front seats being re upholstered. Then that's the interior finished.
The dent/scratch man is coming Tuesday and doing his magic.
the pictures with all 3 look ace:agree:Quote:

I rubbed it back but quite liked the polished look so polished it right up and the pics show the end result. Took me about 2 hours to rub the front and back and the fiddly bits, but i think it looks quite good.:)
Bad News! I decided to polish my car today as Iwasnt busy And thought i'd remove the alloy caps and buff them up with some metal polish. To my shock & disbelief I found that one of the wheel bolts had been snapped off by someone.
Just another thing to add to the ever growing list of things to do. Oh well.
:crap:
Looking good, hopefully weather is better next weekend so you can pop it over and have a good look over it.
Is that front or rear which has gone?
I'm in Braintree Saturday picking my niece up so I could pop over in the morning and show u?
I got a rear bumper to pick up from mark in Aylesbury tomorrow, so that should be fitted by then.
It's the passenger rear.
Good job on the st wheel. They don't always look great when polished but yours looks really well.
Cheers mate. It took me forever to get it rubbed down front and back. And about half hour polishing it. I didn't have the heart to spray it after it turned out like that.Quote:

The front doorcards are also off now as well getting retrimmed.
Wednesday its having the Car Alarm/Immobiliser fitted & a new CD Player.
I'd say the project will be 75% complete by Friday.
Next Step is the Brand new front bumper, Grille, arches & Tailgate trim to be sprayed.
I'll add pics of the interior once installed :)
Getting there!
Looking good mate! Love it:agree:
great progress mate! looking forward to seeing the retrimmed interior too :agree:
Cheers lads. :)
well they look ****e dont they:cooter:Quote:

Has the whole seat been retrimed mate? Can you get the material to match?
no its the original material in the centres with suede bolsters,backs and headrests. they look fresh! a bit of modernising on the old material :agree:Quote:

You are fussy aint you lol so where is it abouts that your from i see the name of the place on ur profile
Little bit fussy. Not as bad as some of the guys on here though! Lol.
From Essex pal.

I'm gonna pop up and see him soon though. He's mental, but a good lad
Yea been banged up a few times now but hes always been alrite with me

Mmmmmmmmmmm Fresh paint :agree:
Looks good mate this is guna be one really nice 5
sexual :smokin:
they look good fella. badges just need polishing. and i aint doin that!!lol as long as yr im happy.
Tomtom deserves a serious pat on the back for all the hard graft he's put in on these bits. I'm gonna get the entire car done once I've got a new tailgate.
I got some metal polish ready and waiting for the badges lol.
One more time Thanks mate :) you've done a great great job.
that tail gate will go again, its better nick than what mine was the one i bought. but yr 5 is gona turn into a real nice example when yr done with it, as i said, i dont helping people out.:)
We'll have a chat Friday about the whole car being done mate. :)
No worries fella:)
Righteo- Had some real progress the last week or so...
Tomtom (god bless him) has repaired and resprayed my arches & OE grille. They look great. I'd recommend him to anyone- he's gone well out of his way to help me.
I also have my new clio turbine alloys fitted with brand new rubber. These look really good and transform the car in my opinion.
For what ever reason rtoc doesn't like uploading pics from my iPhone- so ill ask dale to load a pic up for me.
Next up is to change the rear bumper mount, cut and treat the rear arch rot under the petrol cap and to do the door pins.
Shell respray in the autumn after I've had some fun with it
Theres your picture :)
Ta mate.
Top Job, Top Cat!!
Give Bogfoot a squeeze & get a set of his OE stickers for the special RTOC discount* amount. That would finish off your engine bay a treat!
*Bigfoot's not aware of this discount yet but I think he's ripe :laugh:
Who says I dont keep offering the stickers to him when he pops over ;) at a very nice discount price which a lot of people know about as sold them at national day at this price
Thanks Trev- I no nothing of this discount ;)Quote:

Then next autumn it's going to have new sills each side and brand new side decal.
Wish the summer would come quicker- I want to drive it!

Bit of mo' nails lol
MOT today- result- failed on rear brake binding and emissions. Just been tuned and has a new exhaust system on- so think the mot blokes been a bit harsh.
Not very happy. More money to spend. :mad:
Easy fix, tweak the mixture screw on the carb and a little copper grease on the calliper sliding parts! :agree:
If you want to pop over we can sort that out for you.
Cheers Dale- can't move it, tax ran out today and mot is gone. So gonna tackle it here. Gutted aint the word.Quote:
Originally Posted by Bigfoot

Ai, as has been said above.....
Just a tweak to the mixture screw. Remember how many winds you give it so you can just set it back again after the MOT so there's no change to the fuelling set up. It's a 30 second job IIRC :agree:
The rear brakes are a pain in the butt. Hopefully that's just a bit of loosening/greasing.
MOT and Taxed for a year today. 1 advisory for a track rod end ball joint dust cover.
Cheers to Scotty for helping me out doing the brakes last week. He came down and down 99% of it when I was ill last week.
So I'm now ready for the Enfield pageant. Just some little bits to do wash/wax and detail.
Top cat and Scotty the crime busters of the sea da na na baaaaaQuote:

It has a nearly new scorpion exhaust system which sounds alot better than the magnex that was on there.
After Tomtoms amazing work on the respray I've asked Chris to load me some pics up which he is very kindly doing for me.
So its pretty much finished now. I've put 250 miles on the old girl the last 2 weeks and its ran beautifully. Before the Enfield show its having a full valet and mop and clay bar.
Pics will follow.
Hi Dave,
The car is looking superb. I noticed you are in Essex? My blind purchase arrives on Tuesday and would be good to possibly have a look at yours and get some advice as my plan long term is to do what you have done with yours.

ThIs car has had so much money thrown at it, it's unreal. If anyone is seriously interested, please PM me to arrange a viewing. Pics are becoming a pain to load, but feel free to ask and I will email pics, there are loads on my profile and build thread :)
I want £5250 ovno. For those that know the car know that this car owes me well in excess of 6500 and is one of the nicest tungy 5's around. If you want a "OE" example then you won't go far wrong with this.
Please PM me with any questions you have. :)
this is a very good example. im sure anyone that views it will agree:agree: tom done an awsum job on the bodywork!!!
nice one tom:agree:
who ever buys wont be disapointed!!!!
Is there some new 5 tax coming into play or something we should all know about!
What's going on fellas?
Just finishing your cars and making them mint then selling:scratch:
I get it though?? Would sell mine in a flash for the right price - F**KING Piece of shhhhhhhite:mad::laugh::wasntme::wasntme:
Lol. 5 tax wouldn't surprise me with our government mate!
I don't have the time for it now to be honest. Plus my mrs is going to be off work for 3 months as she's having a operation, so the extra funds will come handy.
The annoying thing is that in 4-5 years time they'll be worth loads!

I hear ya Dave.....
It's the same for me really as Stuart probably understands best, I'm alway busy working, or visiting family (illness things), doing the house up etc etc etc etc:rant:
But I'm lucky I suppose, mine can just sit in the garage and when I've time or can be fooked get it out or tinker! Plus it cost me fook all to insure....
Good luck mate hope you get what you want it, and what it clearly deserves:agree::agree:

i think its only going to get harder to find good fives.
I won't be selling it, certainly not in the near future.......but as I said mate when you came down,just had to stop throwing money at it...priorities and all that:agree:
The cars are out there, but obviously the good examples are asking more now but it seems people want a minter for 2k
As always time will tell
The problem we have is people want everything for nothing and always rip the price of these cars... If people thought more, we would be sat on fortunes as it is we are sat on rust.Quote:

Like anything, these cars are only worth what people are willin to pay. :/
Yes but there would be more middle ground/price range? You have great examples not shifting, or getting under valued and priced closer to the ****ters end of the market.Quote:

theres an arse for evry seat :laugh:
Yeah you're right mate, it's one end of the spectrum or the other- not much in between.
I think the fact the cars are so loved that they only end up being sold in a situation where the moneys needed. A desperate sellers never going to get what its worth :( hence several nice examples being sold for a bargain and lowering the value of others which are compared to them.
Spot on there mate.Quote:

Lol. Exactly. Most people will buy a average car for 2-3K then spend 3K on it over time. I'm sure the first person to view will buy it. :)Quote:

I just don't want to put it on eBay really unless I have to- I know what will happen- ill just get mucked around. If it goes on eBay it's gonna be up for a higher price.
hey Casper - nice car - did you change the clocks on Vera ?? - they look very good
Hi Dave, sorry to see this up for sale but good luck it is a lovely car and completely solid! You have done a fantastic job!
Thanks Mike. If it doesn't sell it doesn't sell. I'm in no rush to sell it as such. :)Quote:

Whatever you do next I hope you're sticking around RTOC :agree:
Thanks Trev. I might lurk in the shadows with you for a while ;) Ill be up pod this year with Scotty if you're going?Quote:

Last chance to get a seriously mint 5 this summer! I'm in no rush to sell so won't be accepting stupid offers.
Well after the falling through of the sale i have decided to keep the 5.
I've just been over to R5 scotty's & bought a new water pump, steering rack, front discs and pads, wheel bearings, belt guide, rear windows, plastic trim, door cards (which will be flocked by Phoenix autosport), and a set of Renault Cup rims.
The rims are going to be powder coated this week and hopefully fitted next week.
Bigfoot has kindly sorted me out rear discs, pads & wheel bearings.
The car is now in the capable hands of Mr Metz, who as always will do a great job.
Ill post some pics up of the car next week once it's finally finished :)
This car won't be getting sold at all now as it owes me way too much money than what I'd get for it lol.
After all this is sorted ill be saving for a set of Koni shocks from the club shop. £££££'s spent but always worth it :)
Good news mate.... We can start an Essex meet
100% on that one mate. I put 50 miles on the car tonight and she handled like maradonna.Quote:

Yeah or every other month... see who fancies it.
I will sort out another one for next month if you want. I started it the other year and first one great, then it was only 2 other people, though did have a good chat with those who turned up. Would weekend or week day be better for you? Dont mind either really.
I'm easy to be honest, we could meet up with the Suffolk lot off the A12 somewhere? I need to see Steves raider in person.Quote:

Cheers Johnny- I'm gona run toyos. Decided to go for silver colour wise, purely cos I know they'll have better resale value if I decide to change my mind again lol. Plus your tungy looks mental on black rims and don't want to be seen as a copycatQuote:

Koni suspension being fitted this week. Well chuffed. Borrowed this pic but you get the idea

Hot air feed pipe.
You purchased that one on eBay then
Yup ;)Quote:

[IMG]http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps89bce1ef.jpg[/IMG]
Sits really well on the koni suspension from the club shop. Handles beautifully. I drove it back from "yodas" workshop last night in the wet (never seen rain in my ownership before) Jon tweaked the carb a bit and she's running sweet- had it spinning in 3rd gear with now effort at all. So she has it if needed ;)
[IMG]http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps08b0e063.jpg[/IMG]
Apologies for my Shiite photos (I'm no photographer)
So, all that's left are my centre caps from mike at gt turbo spares & my flocked door cards from Carl @ Phoenix and the 5 is completely restored. I have some refurbed Speedlines & johnnys old voodoos as other "shoes" for her.
Also just got to fit the hot air feed pipe.
She'll be done soon- really happy I've restored it & looking forward to helping mingblus (simo) crack on with his project now.
Looks great. Top job mate:agree:
Fab.
Looks like you have condensation on the inside of both rear windows? Are the rear windows locking shut fully and the seals ok etc?
The Heater was on and it was cold mate lolQuote:

Looks good mate just a tidy up of bodywork and she will look good :laugh:

Looks great, really like interior although you should have kept turbines not feeling the cup rims - maybe better if they were black!
That is looking very nice, done a good job there mate! :agree:
Cheers for the comments. Hopefully the centre caps will make the wheels look nicer.
Didn't spray them black cos they'll look like spares
Looking swarve matey! It sits just right now with the new suspension too!
Yeah I'm well chuffed with the ride height and handling mate. :DQuote:

Sureterm are really great. I told them all my upgrades and have an agreed valuation of £6500 for my lil beasty, included my upgraded suspension and wheels. £10 a year extra.
£140 a year. Chuffed
Might give them a call. Am struggling to get under £275 at the moment.
Is it the rollcage insurers don't like ? :(
Must be mate- just says I'm here for a reason really.Quote:

Funniest response from a woman earlier at the BP garage when I was doing my air in the tyres. "Lost my virginity in one of them" pissed myself laughing. Classic.
Good choice putting those caps on them wheels :)
Cheers bro. Makes such a big difference.Quote:

Yeah I couldn't believe. By the looks of her she'd obviously had more hands up her than sooty. :laugh:
Looking good mate :agree:
Cheers mate. Loving the sooty mod Chris CB has done lolQuote:

Looks mint mate :agree:
Seeing as you're modifying the car now think you should have one of my pods ;)
Got singles now too!
Only wheels and exhaust are modded mate. Gonna get a standard exhaust sorted next year. I still have the Speedlines for the purist in me.Quote:

Strange how much difference those centre caps make.
Looks sh1t, totally runed the car! What was you thinking?........... :cooter:
Your last three letters match the Mrs old car reg that she officially labeled "Fu*king Gone Nuts". :laugh:
Think I'm well passed that point with mine, wait till you see what I've done in my next update. :scared:Quote:

TC :) :beer:
Replacement turbine centre cap bolts- £7 delivered. Bargain!

Followed by some Star Wars shadow trooper dust caps...
http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...psosrb7hds.jpg
Nice glad your going oe+ it's the way forward :agree:
You're right there mate. :agree:Quote:

Right then, At the request of my dearest rtoc'ers I have decided to update my thread.
After my "oe" hoses were looking shite, I decided to buy a full set of black sfs hoses. Whilst fitting these I thought I'd get some chrome innit...
http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps67023dfd.jpg
http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps8snjgdra.jpg
It's covered in dust at the moment where it's been in my workshop for 4 months, but it'll look the nuts once it's detailed :)
I fitted my pod made by dear Jon..l
http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...pszjlc8t7z.jpg
And finally I got my recaros fitted (at last) fully reclinable and adjust so the rear seats are still useable.
http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...psyxdqiems.jpg
http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps8vv6zg3z.jpg
The turbines are now back on and I think they really are one of the best wheels on the 5.
http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...psmp2usbop.jpg
http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...psuzth7pi0.jpg
All that's left to do is to valet and detail the old girl and she's good to go.
http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...psupd71jr0.jpg
And my latest idea. Heavy duty long life radiator fan complete with fitting kit. The kit needs to be cut down slightly, but the slimline fan allows for easier pipe runs etc for fmic and oil coolers.
I suppose being a Spal authorised dealer has its perks.
Anyone interested in one can order one via me. I'll sort out a set price for rtoc'ers
Well worth the wait, looking good mate :)
We'll after the shit u goon and that northern whippet racing pigeon breeding ******* lee have given me I thought it was high time lol
Very smart indeed.
Those seats are incredible :smokin:
Cheers Tub. I'd love to take credit for them, but it was originally Hickmans idea. I copied him (with his blessing) :)Quote:

Looks really well :)
Actually the front driver's wheel appears to have a strange camber. Is it just the angle the photo has been taken at? You don't have a mix up in Ph1/2 suspension set-up do you?
Those seats are f*cking lush. Some creativity gone in there
So much better on turbines! Love it
I totally approve of this car - very nice indeed! I love the seats in particular :cool:
Cheers chaps!!! As I said Hickman was the creative genius behind the seats. They weren't my idea at all. I am extremely happy with them, they're so comfortable it's unreal.
The suspension is the konis out of the club shop trev. I think it's just the pic that makes the Camber look abnormal.
I'll be up the workshop fitting the new slimline radiator fan tonight. It'll modernise the engine bay and also make working on it a lot less hassle.
I know I've said it before, but the car is truly finished now. I may even consider selling it if the right price came along.
Dave i'll pop up tonight if your about?
Don't sell! You can't sell!
Infact, if you do- I will come and shat thru your letterbox!;)
Ok cool :) Oh, the suspension top hats are Ph2 though right?Quote:

http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...psk2fbl3b2.jpg
We ran the car up and the fan cools as well (if not better) than the standard kenlow fan assy.
These are available to anyone interested. Its smartens up the engine bay a treat. :)
She's washed and polished and ready for the summer :D

Well in the morning I brush my teeth, using mcleans. Then I use a wash in shampoo and conditioner. I scrub my body using a body shop mandarin soap.Quote:

Actually, would be good to see a walk-around youtube vid with it running. :agree:
Good idea! Next time it's dry and I get an hour I'll do that Trev.Quote:

Rad fans and fitting kits are £95 mate. That's what they cost me :)

What's next???
Sorry for the delay Mike! The last year has been horrendously busy!
After selling my 5 (biggest regret ever) I bought mk1 focus RS. Got bored of that so sold it.
I'm currently looking for another project to do. Maybe that phase 1 pearly if u ever decide to let me take it ;)
You think you can come here, clean out the club for all its info to help you build a 5, sell it and sod off into the night and then come crawling back? :tuttut:
Welcome, welcome :D :guitarhero:
Plenty of project 5's out there TC. Surely you don't want to do it all over again!
Knew one day you will start looking for a 5 again. Electric blue phase 1 you need which somebody was trying to sell somewhere, cant remember where. If I had the money I would go for that as love the colour :smokin:
I think this latest post has put the biggest smile on my face.
So you say project... A new 5?
Good to see you back mate :)
Lol good to see you back :)
Welcome back fella, you'll be back in a 5 before you know it! :cool:
Ha cheers all!
It might be 5 project, but it would have to be a cheap one. Some of the prices I've seen on eBay are stupid money.
Looks like I missed the tungy phase 2 on here
Good to see you back on here, be even better if you started another 5 project ;) enjoyed reading about your last one.
Good on you topcat I missed the start of your project but picked it up half way through and read the whole thing. Would look forward to another 5 project ;) welcome back ;)
