My First 5 Turbo

[Bunje]

My Project thread of my first 5 Turbo always wanted one since i was able to drive. finally took the plunge. it needs a lot of TLC but thats all part of the fun. ill update my thread as i go along but i dont think im gonna change much really









What it looke like when i picked it up engine is pretty much standard as far as i can make out just a bit of a mess with brackets missing here and there and pipes in the wrong places and all sorts but ill slowly get there. the body work all seems to be solid apart from a few bits of rust here and there. i know the roll cage is not to everyones taste but i kind of like it. its got some sort of brake conversion but im not entirley sure what car they came from and a ktec sidey. any way this is as it stands now. comments suggestions welcome

Wow this car has done the rounds over the years I used to see this in Derby 5-7 years or so ago. Same colour/wheels etc.

i seems like its had a hard life lol. hopefully its been looked after by all of the people whove had it before me

that gtt has been in the club and out the club for a while.. back at a track day it was looking its best cant remember the owners name back then..

[The new Bill J]

Iirc, Big-G was the guy who owned it back then, and did all the work on it. He was from Wales.

anglesey i think, i bought the seats out of it about 3 years ago? didnt see much of him after that.

[Bunje]

that looks mint. whoever had it after him didnt really take much care of it. theres bits wrong all over the place. but now i have a picture of what it used to look like. i will return it to its former glory. engine seems strong to be fair just a few niggly problems
thanks for the pictures made me feel alot better knowing at one point it looked really nice

Shame it lost its ronals along the way to

Nice car.

[tubbyG]

Agreed, it does look sweet on those ronals... I need a set in my life

[Bunje]

I owned this car months back bought it from anglesey was in a bad state when I bought it and pretty much everything was bodged lol although got me through winter when the gearbox went on my day to day car.sold it for 700 and looks pretty much the same apart from few engine mods been takin off,hope all goes well anyway

[Bunje]

its not too bad if you shut the bonnet. im slowly chipping away at a very long list of things to do on it. you dont have any idea what colour it is do you paint code or even a name of the paint would be very helpful

[mleo89]

Don't have a colour code but I wad told it was standard merc blue the same as what the old click was in http://www.google.co.uk/m/search?sit...s+clk+blue#i=0
If this helps .

[Bunje]

yeh thanks i did have an idea that it was that colour but wasnt sure.
