Before I start, this is my first 5 GT Turbo which ended up being turning into a bigger project than first thought :ashamed:
Hopefully this thread with give me the inspiration to actually crack on with the car and hear some feedback aside from "the piece of crap in the garage" :rolleyes::laugh:
I had been driving a '96 Campus with a C1J in which was good fun but around the same time a local bloke got hold of this....

After spending money replacing the engine, he did that to the following engine within the next few weeks... high boost and flat out driving
Decided to save this car, give it a tidy up and get it running again, so I thought lol. Went and picked it up

Bit of metal paint and some prep work, also removed the boot floor sound deadening which had seen better days, suprising how much it all weighed up when it was removed!

I have had the car since January this year, and these are most of the photos of the work I have done so far, for the first few months it just sat that while I was driving the Campus until June, so it's a slow "as and when" project, but what better place to show it than RTOC..... right? :ashamed:
ANY feedback / comment / etc welcome! :agree:

I would in the ideal world like to replace this inner sill but I'm going way beyond the budget with this car as it is so cut and killed what was there

As my roof lining was mostly water damaged from damp and discoloured I spray dyed it
http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z200/45_CB/R5GTT/SAM_3226.jpg
Picture with the flash on (this was immediately after application so some of it looks wetter than other parts) and I'm really happy with the colour / look of it
http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z200/45_CB/R5GTT/SAM_3227.jpg
Earlier in the thread you would of seen when I got the car it had some front end damage. Luckily it was only the front panel that needed re-alignment. It had gone inwards and upwards on the grill side of the drivers headlight
http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z200/45_CB/R5GTT/SAM_3205.jpg
Gave my brother a ring and he popped round with the big boy winch gear :cool: Perfect machine for the job :smokin:

Took out the last piece of the puzzle which was the windscreen seal and was very happy to see it all nice and solid in the bits I hadn't checked, phew :eek:
Next update will no doubt be bodyshop progress..... cheers :smokin:

:ashamed: thanks Matt
With the reputation the bloke gave this car, I felt I had a duty to save it and bring it up to a decent enough standard again :cool:
I would love to have the unlimited cash flow I see with some of the projects on here one day but I'm wanting to move out ASAP what with being 25 now!

Thanks for these positive comments !
I was going to paint it white as I love white ones but maybe one day ill have a white one anyway so good to keep this one black like how it started :) not black / green it got painted once before in its life!
Went and seen the car yesterday, seeing it being prepped is making me tingle after all this time looking at the damage !

Some bodywork prepping... both quarters needed repair amongst the key marks, body kit repairs etc etc etc
The previous repaint seemed to go back to metal easily enough so we were able to do a bare metal check on any potential bad areas :)

Now the car is finally free of rust, dents, scratches, scuffs, bumps (you name it) I guess there is a job of building it, to resemble a GT Turbo again :ashamed:
Got it back to the garages... (sneak snot of the misses car here)

Next spare day.. spent time on the electric side of things, the following did NOT work....
N/S Electric Window (Needed a new motor, fair enough)
Clock
Heated Rear Screen
Heater Fan
Handbrake Light
Glove Box Light and switch
Dash dimmer replaced for a piece of wire :crap:
Lights On Warning Beeper
Some Alarm Features...
And most of these things taped or left as bare twisted wires :crap::crap:
Anyway these have all been fixed now after finding masses of diabolically poor wiring installation behind the dash, relating to the alarm, aftermarket gauges I'm guessing and all sorts of old immobiliser left over mess!
It's so nice to say EVERYTHING now works :smokin:
http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z200/45_CB/R5GTT/SAM_3350.jpg
GTT heater box was full of debris and dodgy wiring / connections from a garage attempting a quick fix previously and failing
http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z200/45_CB/R5GTT/SAM_3300.jpg
Used my old campus box for parts..
http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z200/45_CB/R5GTT/SAM_3292.jpg
New Matrix in
http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z200/45_CB/R5GTT/SAM_3304.jpg

New dash compared with its predecessor on its way in....
http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z200/45_CB/R5GTT/SAM_3332.jpg
And lastly, my dear of a misses found:
Steam Cleaner
Autoglym Interior Shampoo
Vanish
Meguiars Carpet Cleaner
Autoglym Carpet scrubbing car pad thing
A Dyson with attachments
(And a few hours work *cough*)
And created this look :eek: :smokin: blooming fantastical....

Replaced the rear cards with phase one items (as like all phase two's the fabric was escaping the cards)
http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z200/45_CB/R5GTT/SAM_3362.jpg
Mix and matched all my seat belts to make the best set :)
http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z200/45_CB/R5GTT/SAM_3359.jpg

Obviously a lot more to do yet..
The steering wheel I will repaint the metal work, and the white dials will be binned, loving my ebay bargain OE gearknob, bit of wear but what can you expected for £15 delivered with gaitor, red carpet and new dash also looking goooood :smokin:
http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z200/45_CB/R5GTT/SAM_3381.jpg

Finally got to work with prepping my badges..
This was with:
Hot water
Fairy liquid
320 paper on a block
Will take up to 2000 grit getting them ultra smooth, then scotch pad the "RENAULT 5" for a bit of brushed effect.. the GT turbo will be red again then both of them lacquered :smokin:

It's been a while ... So just keeping this thread alive ...
Sadly, I had to leave the epic garages :cry: which proved a real nightmare finding another!... Impossible for my budget :(
Anyhow, managed to find a space, hardly equal but meh.. It's had a new door and roof, so its dry, and after a few security measures (not pictured), now extra secure :D

No work gone into the 5 since, this has thrown me back...
I have also been keen to getting on that property ladder, preferably without people pulling out last minute :mad::mad::cry:
So... cleaned up some spare foot pedals I had and my wiper motor / linkage so I could get that fitted again

Treated it to a Valeo Greenbox Clutch (thanks to Al) and also gave the garage some lightage !

Hey buddy any updates on this little badboy? :)
:eek:
Got to say I'm honoured someone has dragged this up :laugh:
Well in a nut shell... not really ! The following reasons (excuses) are why:
1: Bought my first house
2: House needs renovation throughout !
3: Still doing this
4: The 'new' garage I moved to is absolutely useless :cry:
5: Bought my SEAT Ibiza Cupra 1.8 20v Turbo back and ended up repainting it, new suspension, wheels, parts galore, and much more
BUT... I have however been buying a few bits of the 5, new parcel shelf, new steering wheel and boss, new rear discs, some manifold studs and suspension bolts and the odd bits I have forgot but photographed :ashamed:
As you can imagine the house and moving into my first castle of freedom has taken a little time..
But I do go and check all is well weekly and give it pat on the roof :laugh:

I now understand how projects on here get lost, dated, or just left for years! As per previous post, I've been rather busy the pat 12-18 months with a new job also.
However, I don't want this thread to complete fizzle out
So time to whore a load of photos again to get them off my camera, although I can't say that it's much of an update I'm afraid folks
Finally got myself a drivers door, luckily already delocked, and hinges to be able to adjust it for perfect fitment

Have got fair few other little goodies along the way, but they aren't pictured yet until they are cleaned up etc, I have only just managed to clear out the garage to even get to the car recently so it's a case of actually bringing the bits to it and making a start again given I don't keep anything there anymore
Watch this space .... Meh I said that last time :ashamed::laugh::smokin:

I have a lot of time for your car bood, looks like a top 5 and I even quite like the wheels, again maybe just the colour that suits it so well.

Yes **** :laugh:, the next post should show the inspiration now the grill's fixed :agree: cheese

:smokin: Crack on with your 5 and it will give you good rewards IMO

Not sure about that mate :confused: lol
The build thread shows the truth, the first number of photos were taken by the owner before, they lie about its condition back then :laugh:
Love this resto.
Thanks man :agree:

All very nice glossy glossy black. Bumper is sat on to keep it off the floor :agree:
Would like to get myself some rep black variant decals if they ever happen so then I can make a start building up the bodykit. Need to do a little tiny patch up of welding which is pictured many pictures back of the inner arch or it'll fill with water once its on the road :laugh:
Top top work mate! Black 5's are the best

:agree: definitely the best choice for me for oe paint especially as its mint. Pain in the arse to keep it looking clean though, I've recently got a black bmw and its a nightmare to keep looking nice. But once it's washed and polished it looks amazing. Keeps the pics flowing.
