    5GT for the track (an maybe road)

    gonna keep you all posted with progress on my newest member of my family, got it for 40quid and have started the strip out in earnest, all the seats and boot carpet out tonight, i will be looking to sell of most of the parts, least the parts i dont keep for my other 5 anyway, want a rollcage first then see from there

    not sure how i add pictures to this so will probably just start another album, if you look at the current photos its the tungy grey one thats underway, the black on is my road one

    collecting rollcage on the 26th apparently its an ally one? best not hit anything too hard then lol. but good that it weighs very little
    has anyone had any dealing with a cage of this type?
    also just got a strut brace and clutch cable from phase i 16v turbo mike that i will be fitting shortly oh and a new (ish) tailgate so when fitted the water shouldnt leak into the car anymore yay
    pics will follow soon.

    Re: 5GT for the track (an maybe road)

    i have been away toooooo long, the tungy grey 5 has its boot lid to stop the water getting in, i am in the process of replacing the carb now so if anyone has a couple of carb gasket they want to flog (the ones either side of the block spacer) let me know, got all the bits needed to bolt on (seats/harness/strut brace/slicks/cage) but can hardly find the time to do it. funniest thing is i told the mrs it would only be on the drive for a week, just look at the date this thread was started lmao
    but to make matters worse my van has just expired too, any1 here work for renault as i may be in the market for a spanking new Trafic van (unless anyone here has knowledge of them being sh*t?)
    so in short hello again to every one and yes i still have two R5's neither of which i can actually use....................Trific
