I had to replace the nice Grey seats from the White 5 with standard seats... looks like this. I hope Spooky likes them.
Nice, a good clean the engine bay would look a hundred times better
any major plans for it mate or just tart it up a little.

OOPS....one of those went in the bin along time ago...............
Shoppers, if you do get down to see Matt, could you collect the standard exhaust he's got for me please? I'll square you up some fuel money, and Matt, I can Paypal you the money for the exhaust, or reimburse Chris if he squares up with you.
Likewise, I'm after a set of uncut boost hoses.
And a new gearknob
Not wishing to invade Chris

Looking good Chris
They're not the genuine Cup 'Coupe' badges though.
are they not? nay bother tho, still look the part
ahh, very rare them coupe badges, not like devil strut braces which are flooded all over Ebay
Nah mate, Billy & I looked into them a good while back. Sure, there are scores of 5's out there with the Coupe badge, but it's not in the same style/font as the UK Coupe/Cup cars badge.
I wish
your mate Billy must have at least 3...I wish
Devil braces or Coupe badges?
both probably
Nah, i've only got two of eachboth probably
and I've only got one of eachNah, i've only got two of each
Common as muck
Pair of grippers...
there are 2 types of people in this world, those with coupe badges and devil strut braces and... actually, no, there's only one type of people in this world
Well i am in need of a Coupe Badge, have 2 devil strut brace's already lol

Nice gt badge ....where did yiu get that mr.m.....
Right peeps,
I need a few ideas....
I am going to paint the car myself, i am thinking some thing like ford diamond white or Renault Glacier white...
But any other ideas? Has to be easy to paint & to touch up for when i have a brush the barrier or something...
Bright & lairy ftw. Day-glo orange (Dyno-rod) or yellow/green (like hi-vis jackets).
Im feeling that. Ford ST Orange has been done to death now, Dyno-rod orange would be awesome.
Kawazaki green (again, done to death but a MAJOR winner).
Pink (not baby pink, proper bright 'I want to burn your corneas' pink)
Funny of mart to mention Dyno-Rod, his there best customer...
But i am lykin the colour, wonder how hard t would be to paint tho...
Well over the last week or some i started work on my Spare cup wheels,
Sanded them down by hand to remove some old paint, rust etc... then gave it a coating in Rust remover...
Rubbed them down again and primed them..
Then i rubbed them down again and painted with a layer or 2 of silver alloy paint..
Dont forget the inside to..
All i have to do now is wait for them to dry beofre i laquer them & refit some tyres... job done.
that paint is on back to front
nice job of the wheels man, as for the colour of the car you can never go wrong with Yellow, it does look awesome all stickered up
Just an update,
Not much happening on the car front, its starts, runs and stops so nothing really to do atm...
Judging by the weather of late were going to have a warm May & June and have plenty of light in the evenings etc, so today i have ordered...
1x 50l Air compressor + Accessories
2x Different types of Spray Guns
1x Full Renault Glacier White Paint Kit
1x 5l Body Underseal
1x DA Sander With all sorts of Sander fittings
1x Compound Sander with all sorts of Mop Heads
1x Body Panel Kit
1x 6m x 3m Party Gazebo
2x Double spot lights
1x Genuine Renault Clear Front Windscreen
Some Safety Equipment like Mask's, filters, Clothing, Glove's etc etc
Time to get cracking then when all this turns up next week...
Anybody Want to help remove my Engine & Gearbox let me know.
I got my steel rims made wider to 7,5". And
I'm not sure a 50 l compressor will be big enuf mate, we have a 200 ltr at work and that struggles to run a da flat out, also with a small tank you will get paint fade as you spray, the finish on the car will be orange peel style...
My mate had a clever idea of buying a busted 250 ltr compressor and just used it as a tank, so his 50 l was puping flat out but kept the big tank topped up... Might be a idea for you..
Dont get me wrong or anything i know the 50litre isn't ideal for a mint paint job but tbh its only a cup car and for track use only, so not out for looking mint or anything just cleaner...
I have my bids on a very old 250litre air compressor atm... if i get that cheap then jobs a good un, the 50ltr will do for odds and sods.
Only, ONLY?
Wash your mouth out young man
