Well chaps, finally, after 2 years, I have my 5 off my folks path and in my own home. Cant tell you how much I've missed it and to have it home is brilliant! I'll be taking the task of getting it back on the road so any help would be appreciated! I'm a little out of touch with where the parts are from these days and who's selling what etc!

First example is Im after a new boot lock with key...Mine just wont open...Thats just the start of it..!

I look forward to having the GT back this year and attending events in both the Renaults ( with the help of the wife bringing one) so fingers crossed! Like I said peeps, any standard parts going please let me know...

Cheers

Lomo :)

Good work Mr L! glad to hear you've got the 5 back on the road after so long :agree:

If you need any help or just fancy a meet let me know and we'll sort something out (possibly with a 1 or 2 other members?)

With a bit of luck I'll have mine going this weekend aswell. I haven't started it since November. Track day - got home - parked up and left it! :laugh:

A day on Lomos 5 sounds grand! The more the merrior! :wasntme: Shall we have a meeting/party at the same time? :D..The plan is to take alook over the coming couple of weeks and see what she needs exactly then put the feelers out for parts...Perhaps it might be worth organising a weekend where a few of you can come over and once complete we can just drink beer and tings...:agree:..A possible plan is brewing!

Never again will I leave a car uncovered and motionless for 2 years...I still cant believe I left it for that long...:dearme: I blame work....:innocent:

Anyway...Thought I'd use my day off to start bringing the old girl back to her best and 2 washes and wax later she started to look familiar...

Now for the engine.....

Roll on the National Day...:agree::smokin:

Well...After 2 years (and 7 months) I finally managed to gather some of the parts I needed to get the old girl running and got to work on her today...

At precisely 2-30pm after various things changed and tightened, can you believe, without any hesitation the old girl fired!!!!!!!!!!:D:wasntme::smokin::laugh::agree::c ool:

CANT STOP GRINNING...:D

Ive since had several trips round the block and everything seems to be bob-on! :agree:

Love it!! How good is it that a little car that hasnt been started in over 2 and a half years takes a small amount of effort and fires...:worship::niceone:

Me and the missus will be going out in it this evening (back roads) as she's never even been in it! :burnrubber:

Now I know why I have loved these cars for over 18 years! :agree:

It's always the same after a break from driving gtt's;)

Mine was off the road for almost 2 and a half years untill just before the rtoc day at the pod, it felt awsome the first time I took it down the road, I had a huge smile on my face!:D

You need to get the vee out of that garage and give the old girl a rest from the elements;)
