    1989 Renault 25 V6 Turbo - Le Spicey Garlic

    New poster! (less than 10 posts)

    Evening All, i've pinched most of my project report from the Retro-Renault forum and pasted it here, i'll update this as I go along.

    4th March 2013

    as some of you know I purchased a 25 v6 turbo a few weeks back, I was debating rehousing the engine in another 25, but i'd rather retain the original shell even though it is a bit tatty!

    Last week I got about actually moving it out of the garage and giving it a quick clean on the interior, I don't have a wet vac so ended up cleaning it by hand with Dettol Mould/Grime remover and some 1001, came up ok! but its very very aged and the bulk of it needs replacing.



    I vacumed most of the leaves and crap out of the bay


    Dirty interior




    1001, some great stuff, sadly still filty in the car but a whole lot better




    During the clean:




    80s/90s fox alarm, disconected what was left of it and took it out


    carpets still dirty after a vacuum/1001, really need a vax


    no crappy alarm!






    The car is fairly straight, got a few dings in the rear 1/4s to sort and a bit of rust on the arches, and a little around the windscreen


    Took it for an MOT last thursday

    Got an advisory on the headlights and a few other niggles:



    Today I set about sorting out a radio. The car had no radio present in it when I bought it, and I had an old sony unit laying spare, wiring it in wasn't too much hassle, the real hassle was trying to push the loom up and around etc while I pushed it in without damaging it! its a very tight fit behind, managed to get the bulk of the wiring to sit behind slightly above the unit, din pocket will be going in there aswell.





    Found this in my drawer:


    Not strictly period correct but its going to good use:


    the to do list for the car:

    I've sourced a donor car with a full interior, so going to get everything I need from that, my interior needs new parcel shelf supports, boot carpet and door cards, but will end up replacing it all.

    Exterior I may replace the rear bumper and ditch the tow bar. Needs the rot attending to, will just tidy it up and rattle can here and there and give it a good polish, give the car some patina!

    I've also sourced the correct dual beam headlamps for the car, the tester passed my car despite a minor niggle with the headlamps on the basis that I am changing these soon!

    Prab


    Just a small update

    Some goodies arrived:


    Induction kit, note the rip off logo lol


    Nice and big:


    Alloy pipe:


    May do some work on it a bit later today, otherwise will probably be next week, will probably fit my old boost gauge i've got laying spare

    Prab


    26/3/13

    Just a small update, nothing too interesting. The blue 2.0 TXE that wil be donating an interior and other panels/odds and ends is finally being stripped, the cars up in sheffield and a mates picking up the parts from it over easter.

    In the mean time managed to grab some new keys £11.50 for the door key and a fiver to get an ignition key cut locally




    I needed a din pocket but there was a joblot on ebay for only £2 more then the cost of a single pocket so modified one of them to house a boost gauge I had laying spare.



    Will mount it above the radio once I run the wires and find a grommet to push the vacum pipe through




    Prab


    27/3/13

    Small update, had a spare half hour earlier so fitted the din pocket and ran the vacum tube up behind the centre console and will find a gromett to feed it into the bay eventually!



    illumination comes on with the lights

    Just another small update.

    Cut the alloy pipe down to size and fitted my induction kit






    Makes a lovely noise




    Expect some big updates end of this month, I have allot of parts arriving from a 25 thats being broken up norf!

    Prab


    10/4/13

    Small Update,

    This arrives yesterday, excellent service from carpartssaver



    Out with the old (varta calcium battery, calcium batterys are difficult to charge and not really the best on older cars)




    In with the new, the car starts first click, I always thought I had a weak starter aswell as battery but this battery just makes light work of starting the car



    Prab


    19/4/13

    Small update.

    Managed to fit the dual beam lamps I bought from a mate/25 nut, admittedly they are not in mint condition but are an improvement over the incorrect single beam units that were fitted.

    Removing the old lamps was not too hard but getting the new ones in we're a right *******


    The car has also had a cooling fan failure in the past, so I only have the one instead of the two. I'll see how well it runs on just having one but will be sourcing the second one when i get a chance!


    Need to adjust how they sit a bit:


    This wind deflector is fugly and was bugging the hell out of me


    Removed it, but when I wen't to remove the brackets (they are held in the sunroof channel, I discovered the sunroof does not work! must rectify this


    Thats all for now, getting some more bits to get on with next weekend!

    Prab



    22 April 13

    Another small update.

    I have a spare bumper in as new condition, and a mate of mine wanted the tow hitch, so I pulled the old bumper and tow hitch off. Next job is to repair the small bits of rot I found behind, and also order up some new brackets and bits and bobs to fit the replacement.





    I don't think I trust this as a spare!



    Prab

    23 April 13

    Started treating the rust, found some Rust treatment Gel, Anti Rust primer and some paint and underseal in the garage, will probably finish this up tommorow.

    Applied the gel (topping up every 30 minutes)






    Measured some pipework and the radiator inlet/outlet, so I can order some silicone pipe to replace the bodges that are on the car:


    Hazaa, with some persuasion the sunroof opened and I was able to finish removing the Wind deflector brackets


    Thats all for now, no doubt more updates at the weekend

    Quick update, on friday I treated the rear valance and primed it



    Sanded back the areas surrounding the rust and also treated and primed




    My bumper bolts were delivered from renault aswell:


    And yesterday was the Annual General Meeting of the Renault Owners Club, and while I was there I took delivery of my leather interior from a mate who went to strip it off the car and deliver it!

    Folded the seats flat and loaded up the garlic barge


    Front seats and console


    Box full of all sorts of interior parts


    Popped the rear bench into the back of the v6t to save room in the garage, i'll be fitting it soon anyway


    Sprayed up the rear valance/panel




    Better picture of the front seats and cards, just need a clean




    I'll be fettling and getting on with bits and pieces over the next few weeks, thank god for longer daylight hours!

    Prab


    29 4 13

    Another update guys, things are progressing quite well

    Fitted my replacement rear bumper today, and had to use post 90 spec mounts (these are much better anyway)



    Removed the chromes off of the old bumper


    Bumper is on


    Tatty broken old thing


    Got the rear leather bench in




    Removed the temporary rear view and fitted a propper one!





    Loaded up the garlic barge with the old rear bench and bumper to take down to the tip



    Will probably get on with some more work depending what time I get home tommorow!

    Prab


    30th April 2013

    Swapped out the door cards and while they were off tried to lube up and free the window runners a bit, they work now, still very slowly.











    The local trim shop quoted me £140 to transfer the leather covers from the exec seats onto my ergo seats, I think I will probably do that as i don't want to lose my quirky air inflation lark!

    And finally, to sleeper or not to sleeper?

    Small update guys:

    Set about removing the old spoiler, what an absolute coont that was! two of the bolts plain out refused to budge and I had to use all sorts of things to get them out!




    Drilled the holes for the new spoiler





    Trial fitted the spoiler, need to order some JB weld and paint before I fit it properly.




    The mismatched rear lights were bugging me, turns out the discolouration on the old light was due to water leaking in



    Thats better



    Cleaned the interior, did the dash headlining, windows, plastics etc etc, and then fed the leather, all that remains to do apart from replace the front seats is give the carpet a vax

    Well I set about beginning to fill my spoiler holes, i was deliberating over using jb weld and sanding down or putting something behind and filling on top.

    I decided to araldite some 2ps behind the holes so I have a nice solid base to filler over, gutted that I wasted 12p!





    Voila

    You'll need to add another 12p upfront to maintain balance and retain grip

    Quick update.

    Gave it a service a few months ago, oil, filter, new thermostat, new rad fan switch, only for the old radiator to fail completely. Was a good excuse for me to change it along with all the bad bodged pipework as it was clearly the wrong rad for the car!


    Sourced a new inlet hose as the old one had a split in it and was 'repaired' with duct tape.








    Old bodged rad and rad 'hose'






    New inlet




    Had this Dump valve laying spare so I thought why not!




    Replaced my headlight stalk, as the old one was knackered and would not select high beams, new one working a treat






    A cooling fan sourced from ebay, as my car was missing one of the fans!




    Out with the old






    In with the new, along with a second hand but good condition hose






    Only the best for the oul girl, not expensive either





    Thats all for now folks, after pay day I'll be renewing the entire braking system

    I think it was like £11.50 not sure, that wasn't even with discount, that was full whack. Its funny because 5 litres of green or blue coolant in a factors would cost more, but i'm going to start buying this type D by the box as its allot cheaper!

    Well she's now taxed, and I took it on an extensive test drive in town and down the lanes to test it out. Boy does she motor!, Still got a few things I need to sort, a little bit of welding before the next MOT, and i'm still going to completely overhaul and upgrade the braking system. As she was sat for so long she looked tired so gave her a quick jetwash before I got home

    Lets Just say allot of cars got their arses handed to them today

    Seriously considering selling this, need to move on with my life at the moment, thinking of flogging the 2.0 aswell.

    Got a fair few parts to go with it (some need fitting odds and ends), £1750 takes it

    Surprisingly last night I had people telling me its too much money and thats its only worth £650! HA! To be honest I may just end up keeping it, and flog the 2.0, I need to get something a bit more up to date to run to work everyday, been looking at E39 540is!

    Really? The amount of work and effort you've done shows its been cared for. It's worth more than £650, it's like the 5's- heaps of poo to joe public, but to an enthusiast they're worth the money asked.

    Ill give u £650 for it though

    Shame if you were to sell it, I was enjoying this project.

    The old 540's were what I was looking at a few years ago. Tons of car for the money but not sure you'd want one to run to work in every day given the fuel costs.

    its finding an enthusiast thats willing to part with the money for it though, good luck with the sale

    The old 540's were what I was looking at a few years ago. Tons of car for the money but not sure you'd want one to run to work in every day given the fuel costs.
    My 2.0 25 only gives around 23-27mpg at best, 540i is around 25 for my short 20 minute motorway commute, I can live with the fuel costs well for now I can haha

    I would if I could but I can't so I won't

    It is probably worth the asking but finding someone willing to pay that will be a mission....not much love for the older '80s' Renaults around .Is it running OK now ?
    I can pick up a decent GTA for less than that and couldn't give the 21 away ..well I did and then Penfold did even worse shifting it on ...and it was in pretty good nick ..I spent over 400 getting the sills done and it sold for not much more

    That 21 was a quality car... Hope the new owner looked after her...

    Clee I got the coilpack, and sensors and stuff still to fit, to be honest its gonna need some welding aswell, but I will be able to stick another 12 months on it in feb time anyway hehe, May aswell finish what I started, be nice to have a finished resto. Might move the TXI on soon.

    Had the auto****ers telling me its not worth any money and it put me in a bad mood

    Cheers, they are a bit of a marmite wheel for a lot of people. But the old wheels are in need of refurb, have the wrong size tyres, and the tyres are deteriorating and cracking so these 17s serve a dual purpose
