    R5GTTRaider project

    been on here a while now, and thought id put up some pictures of what ive got done,
    applogise for all the pics!

    this is how i got the car, not running with a burnt out wiring loom






    all caused by this wire routed round the intercooler


    after 2 weeks of searching for the looms i came across rtoc, and got the dash loom and o/s h/l loom

    dash going back in




    dash mostly back in, but had been ripped apart by previous owner, most clips are broke, so new dash will be next after body work


    engine bay after routing some wires better


    and unfortantly has bad body work, but 99% rust free,so happy with that


    started sorting out the ornge peel on the drivers door



    and after few weeks of polishing etc, and brightening up paint work
    not there yet but will be (if weather holds up spaying the bonnet and front wing, and finnishing off the door




    more to come when i sort out the bonnet and wing

    think final goal will be to have a respray, but for now id like to make it look more presentable!

    ive just re sprayed my front bumper myself, fixed cracks, filled the holes and 2b fair it dont look half bad.... at the end of the day if it turns out crap atleast you`ve given it a go and can always get a propper sprayer 2 do it at a later date.

    thanks, i didnt even know if it ran, but as it was a car ive wanted for ages, and i was on the look out for a turbo car, when this came up raider ment nothing to me, but knew it wasnt just a standard spec one

    yer i have no clue what wheels they are ethier! tho be nice if i can find 16" or 17" ones of them


    then i think im going to have it lowered,lower it at the back with the bar, and 35/40mm at the front hopefully get something like this
