renault 5 campus - GT Replica

I have a campus GT lookalike :) I was getting quoted £5000 for the 1.4 turbo.
Mines *work in progress* but here are pictures of the car when i bought it.

Front of car

Awful smoked indicators which are well used, non-matching front headlights, dodgy front grill, bad front number plate.

Under Bonnet

Pretty standard with old parts all over the place. Head gasket blown and cooling system bad.

Burnt fuses and dodgy cabling everywhere.

Interier

Seats worn and ripped, carpet dirty and ragged, speakers so old that the magnets broken.

Back of car

Back bumper cracked and broken. Back cluster broken without the part underneith the light.

Number plates are awful with some sort of chav renault badges all over them.

Well.. Mine had:

*GTT Carb (not for performance.. mainly because my injection system was making funny noises.. but did the job)
*Ported and polished cylinder head
*Air filter stuck on a GTT carb lobster
*Full scorpion GTT exhaust
*Advanced ignition

It went rather well :)

no it was not really for a power gain keep having problem after problem with it at the moment wont start up off the key appears if there is not enough fuel been spat out when you crank it over drop a bit of fuel down its neck and it starts up fine ?:)

Fair play.. I had the same done to sort out a problem with my fuel injection. I didn't actually do the work though, so I can't give you any tips I'm afraid :(

I take it thats a C3J Lump, its only got 1 injector, find another in scrappy and try swapping it over and keep and eye on the gasket between the manifolds, mine leaked like a C**T and made it idle high and rich

After buying scratchers exhuast, and mike wilsons back bumper it was time to put them on!

(and the harder job of taking the old ones off)

The old exhuast had rusted itself in place, with the centre pipe not wanting to move for love nor angle grinder.

We heated it up and it snapped off.
