had enough of modern boring cars (evo excluded) & am now back in the seat of a little renault 5 gt turbo.
Got a little project that i bought off chris (fido got a raider) just at the mot bay now so fingers crossed...
Looking forward to modding the engine but leaving it as standard looking as poss.

:laugh:To right.

That list isn't bad at all really Steve, I may have a few seat belt bits around in my garage matey if yo want them from when we stripped my neighbours gtt:smokin:

[SCHWARTZ]

i gave chris the set of rear seatbelts cant rember if he had the middle one off me as well tho if not it may still be in the shed.

[5teve L]

Slowly getting through the list, done the clocks, rear belts, got ARB bushes on order, pick up pads, flexi & ball joint tomorrow from motor factors, picked up some tyres as well today. Should be mobile by the end of the week with any luck.
Insurance sorted as well £362 f/c with the missus on as name driver :cool: had a cheaper quote but wouldn't allow me to drive other cars which I find handy so went with the AA.

[5teve L]

OK, slight set back, snapped the brake hose off in the caliper :cry:
Also daft MOT man put ball joint instead of track rod end, there is fook all up with the ball joint but the rod end is FUBAR :rolleyes:
Still on track for the weekend I hope....

[car.crash]

im so happy im finally through all those little jobs, now im breaking big stuff like me t28 and lambda sensors :cry:

[5teve L]

Yeah next one is ARB bushes, I know I'll be replacing some sheered bolts there, then at some point new wishbones, not looking forward to that...then there will be the need to rip the lump out to change the standard clutch :crap:

and so it begins ..................... :coffee:

[TNT Tricky Nicky]

sorry, only just read this thread but with regards to your mot failures, i can't see that the missing centre belt would be a failure as the log book lists the 5 as a 4 seater. so by that logic, as long as the other 4 are there and in working order it wouldn't need a center belt.

things like that bug me, not saying i'm right but it seems that common sense leaves via the window in a lot of situations.

anyway good luck getting it back on the road :)

Oh how I've missed it :wasntme:
