View Full Version : my dream car coming true
well a five has always been my dream car and before attending fcs 2010 id never actualy seen one in real life, funny ino. after owning a few french cars (clio 16v's, 106gti's) i thort it was right ive gotta get a five.
http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y353/jackjz/5.jpg
and i bought this from a chap in bolton.
i didnt realy know anything about the cars an kinda bought it on a whim and was the first 5 id been in let alone drive but i thort it was amazing the whole 3 days it lasted that is :cry:. After joining the club i then realise what id done wrong an that was the 32psi of boost i was running on a t3 turbo with a completly standard engine ohwell learn from mistakes, atleast now im having fun building the car ive always wanted.

http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y353/jackjz/IMG_0048.jpgm
the car looks clean and tidy an i could of just rebuilt the engine got a new turbo and have done, but i wanted to build and learn from it so i started to strip it down as i wanted to find any rust or problem areas before are started to spend any money on it.
http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y353/jackjz/IMG_0257.jpg
so thats about it for now, the engine is out and in the process of stripping it , ive sold the seats, bonnet the old t3 turbo set up. Plan to strip it all out, re spray white but maybe red :crap: carbon bonnet , rebuild engine t28 turbo 285 cam, new front bumper as the one ive got it damaged new wings as there abit ripply , so lets crack on.

Never recieved a log book??? I would be doing a data car check on the chassis number.... (I still would if I was you for £6 its worth it)
It looks like a ph2, full kit, interior... what turbo/header tank is on the car?
Never EVER buy a car with out a log book, I brought a scooter once with out one... i lost £400 as it was a stolen scooter... had keys & service history etc... alll stolen. I was 16 at the time, was alot of money to loose back then.

I signed the logbook when I bought it but the bloke said he would send it of but I can't remeber looking at year of registration just presumed it was a d reg, the logbook has never turned up
you still got your slip for it? get that sent of and they'll send you a new logbook
you still got your slip for it? get that sent of and they'll send you a new logbook
Yeh still got it, I'll give it a go
The guy a bought it from bought it off dlampit off rtoc , so hopfully it's ok
ai, he may of forgotten etc, I usually give it month or so and if nothing shows up send of the slip you have
I have recently bought an oil pump off that guy
He seemed pretty genuine, always replied and did send it pretty quickly.
So Id like to think he is ok to be honest. Maybe a PM just to confirm he has sent the documents off?:)

as for the engine am i best getting a uprated head gasket or will a gsf had gasket kit do the job ?
Mr Raider
18-06-2012, 21:59
Good days work there fella! Best go for uprated 'blue' headgasket think its part no. R11402(best check it1) from GSF comes as gasket set or just head gasket

Nice car, get it checked over though as penfold says :agree:
ok so i just did a quick text check on it
12 owners wich seems alot, no stolen or not scrapped wich is always good but its had one registered colour change how would i go about finding original colour it must of been a good job as the car is a bare shell and theres no signs of a different colour and it was registered june 1987 so its a phase 1 ?

check the vin numbers match the logbook. it may have been reshelled and then just listed as a colour change

Was about to say the glacier white is a normal on a ph2 (what all the ph1 owners saying i am wrong), how ever i dont recal seeing a D reg glacier white 5 before...
The paintwork suggested a respray at some point (if you going to put ph2 kit on your pretty much painting the whole car anyway)
I would be suprised to see if it has been reshelled (a full hpi check on reg & chassis number may help - cost around £10) i did one & even got a certificate for when i sell it on...
yeh ust putting the same kit back on it and its a phase 2 kit.
just had a bloke to come round to quote me for a repsray and work to be done, well i gotta ring him as he wants a think on the price is this normal
Wow thats a mental amount of work for just one day! Are you keeping the OZ wheels?

Tbh when most people that give you a price pf the top of there heads it normally ends up costing alot more.....
Those who take it away, give alot of thought tend to be more accurate.

my cousin owned the car for about ten years before i had it and he knew the previous owner well and both of them say it had phase 2 kit on the car , they said it was a phase 2 and i told them not a chance on that plate .
it defo hasnt been reshelled or had a colour change and that sounds strange about the log book i defo had a log book for it when i brought it there is nothing dodgey about the car i can assure you
if i remember correctly one of those o.z wheels has a slight buckle dont hold me to it though my cousin put them on second hand
glad to see it being restored properly good work mate :)

Yeh I have the slip with your name on it I think as the bloke I bought it from had it for about 2 weeks then sold it on said he bought it from Birmingham said he had always wanted one but couldn't cope with an old car so he took my address and told me he would send it off soon as he received it but nothings came through . I'll just have to go the post office
Still got the o.z will get them checked out seemed ok doing 70 down the motor way
Yeah you need to get down the P.O. and get a V62 and send it off with the slip you have, costs as much as a stamp.
Does nobody else think the colour of the front subframe is maybe an indication that something may have gone on? That the subframe has been changed if nothing else.

What's wrong with the sub frame, really wished I'd joined here before buying a 5 atleast I'm at the right place now ay
Not criticising at all, I chose the easy way and bought one that needed no work so utmost respect.There is nothing wrong as such with the SF apart from you wouldn't expect it to be red on a white car and yes you are in the right place for help.

Ahrite some ones painted it , the engine was also painted blue, red, black was abit awful tbh but goes down to taste I guess

just keepmyourself busy with it dont give up because you will end up losing interest will be mint when its painted up
well had a quote from a body shop and well close to £4000, is it me being tight as i thort that was abit steep.
I want the bumper strips smoothing over, delocked and the welding sorting out in the pics , he also want me to try and get hold of a new front windscreen panel from renault but £4000 :eek:
You will get the car done for alot less than that, I paid around £700 for my shell done all my pannels and my cage :)
Leave the bumper strips to it looks so much better and more standard when you come to sell ;)

these any good ?
see mike at gt turbo spares the corteco mellior blue set is the best head gasket and its roughly the same price as this one

Ah I remember this car! It was parked on my street so I came over for a look and a chat. You had just bought it. My blue 5 was on my drive round the corner. I'm glad you took my advice and joined the Rtoc.
It looks like your getting stuck in alright.
Yours will be rusting up again it's been that long!! :p:D
3 years and counting
bit of a small update havnt been able to do much , either cash or I havnt been home for 3 week.
So I had a cage wating for me whe i got back so i couldbt resist throwing that in to see what it looks like and a nice side exit which tbh im unsure about lol .

http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y353/jackjz/IMG_0659.jpg
Havnt had an update in a while an tbh I lost faith a little. But with any luck it's going to the body shop this week but can't decide on paint so a coin is gonna get flipped heads for red with a graphite grey cage tails for white with a subaru blue cage I've asked the body shop to do this so the outcome should be a surprise
http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y353/jackjz/r5.jpg
off to the paint shop gotta wait 2months or so for it to be finished the guy reckons, hopfully be popping up next weekend to how he's getting on :)
Nice work mate keep it up :agree:
TNT Tricky Nicky
16-09-2012, 18:59
Just looked back through the pictures as I thought flipping a coin for a colour change was just crazy :eek:
Then it became obvious that you're unsure on the original colour anyway, which appears to be black from the last photo with the roll cage.
White is a popular colour so that would be my choice or if your can get the original colour verified return it to that.
If i was a betting man I'd put money on it coming back white anyway as the painter will charge you the same for both colours but less work involved in changing it from what it already is
Tony Walker
16-09-2012, 19:26
Whites generally easier to paint, hides blemishes quite well.
Yeh I'm just really unsure on the colour , I just love red cars but then think there must of been a reason for buying I white one :/

Reds great when its polished, but fades very quickly, you ever seen a faded white car?

White does fade, its goes and off colour, a rough colour... but can be sorted easier than red (even so now days alot of products to help RED not to fade), and a decent Quality Paint/Lacquer should be used... less risk of fade.
Red does look very nice... but seems to be a few red ones about now, I prefer white (had 4 white 5 in the past, hate Pearl white), but love my faded/cracked red/pink car... in no rush to sort the paintwork out
just sitting in the body shop, I got my mum to nipp up the body shop to see how its getting on took a pic for me . With any luck i should be home next weekend so ill get a few more photos. :)

and the car is staying white with a subaru blue cage, just gotta make my mind up on the engine now either get my c1j rebuilt or f7p turbo im terrible at making decisions :crap:
Pete@Backyard Racing
23-09-2012, 16:45
Phase 1 or phase 2???
From your pics the only ph1 parts I can see are is the gear lever( spring type, rather than cable) and the subframe towing eye but this has been changed as discussed.
The phase 2 parts are:
Glacier White paint, body kit Inc fogs grill, rear spoiler, rear arches. Interior Inc seats carpet, cloth door cards, centre console.
Aei behind bulk head, anti perc brackets, cooling system and steering rack.
IMHO the shell is deffo ph2 the aei behind the bulk head and the anti perc brackets are the give away features.
The shell doesn't seem to av had a colour change. The shells are always black under the boot floor sound deadening. What suspension struts does it have? Have u received the v5 yet? I'd check the vin number on the near side strut panel.
Yeh ive finally received the log book it turned up 8months late everything matches up , it's sounds A little wierd an I didn't really realise this until I joined rtoc . The strut tops are phase 2 so it's a mystery I guess . Ohwell dosnt realy phase me just hope it's a cracking motor when it's done :)

Not realy sure I got it from Jesus he assures me it's good for the little 1.4
Looks like a good resto :agree:
Does seem strange being polar white on a D reg as it wasn't an available colour untill G reg iirc :confused: Is the Vin number on the strut top made up of "whole" numbers/letters or are they made up from dots?

You cant beat the look of fresh paint.. will be awesome when complete.. keep the pics coming during assembly:agree:
Nice one people it's gotta go back the body shop found a few runs in the paint they're sorting them for nothing though. I'm just worried about fitting the dash now as I've got the roll cage an the dash needs cutting to fit it but it's spanking new

Looks lovely that!
The car looks fantastic! What brand is the cage? is it bolt in or weld in??
And how are the perspex windows held up in the front?

The cage was a omp bolt in but had it welded in anyway had the extra bar put on aswell an the windows fit nice think I payed extra for the 5mm option

It's coming along nicely mate. Looks awesome.
I'm loving the perspex windows, where did you get them? and the seals to go with them?
Thanks

Got the windows from plastics for performance an there just the standard seals other than the rear campus seals

Cut it down to size but didnt wanna take to much as wanted to keep the glove box but this left half the vent hole so I filled them from the back with fibre glass and over the top with filler. Then getting the whole dash flocked so you 'd never tell.

I personally say wait and do it yourself mate.. no point handing it over to someone else just to drive it

True, that way it still gets built exactly how you want it and the attention to detail you want. Save a few ££ too ;)
