You know Etcha sketch rolling road is da best still was the most powerful 5 that day @ the R&R session with all the probs showing on the R&R not a bad result for 16psi either. God damm water injection damping the spark big time and massive overfueling with the MSM carb. You guys all know things changed straight after that session water injection dumped, MSM carb ditched, VNT setup properly to have full boost @ 2800rpm and 24psi of fanimold boost, and a properly fettled standard venturi carb for the boost and setup using my LM-1 (How I do miss that engine now).:burnrubber:

Well if this conversion doesn't work out for me I may consider turboing it sooner than planned or going back to C1J to the same spec as my last engine.

[JRP]

Ok the chap came to give me the quote, top bloke.
He worked in africa alot of his life from what i gatherd, and is amazing at body pannle fabrication etc, meaning he does not like to waste any materials.

He assesed the rust.

- Rear quarters
- sill spots
- rear Arch
- windscreen surround

He was very confident he could fix all the rust with out the need for new pannles.

He also said about paint types, one is a base with a top clear coat, the other is 2 solid coats. he said solid would be the best option, and the results are not noticable??

Anyway he quoted 3k for the whole job, thats the welding and spraying the car inside and out/ includeing the bay.

So as 3k was kind of my budget max im happy. Going on the work they have done it looks awsum. so i hope mine turns outthe lickety split

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

:agree: well done, what you doing about interior? You going for minty oe? & Engine bay or for something different?

[JRP]

In two minds, engine is secret squirrel, although it will be a C1j in situ ;)

Interior, im not sure. I love the stripped out look and feel, but for a mint interior all i need is a new drivers seat and passenger side rear door card

[James5]

with regards to rear 1/4s , mine are also rotton, but i decided to go for new panels even though they could be saved as ideally it looks the easier option, and they are still avalible from renault. Anyway best of luck matey, sure it will look spot on if its an old boy.

Ok... been down the body shop, the guy is actualy a work horse he just dont stop until he needs to. I found out today he is 64, and has serious heart problems in 3 months he is in to have loads of parts fitted to his heart, he shouldnt be working but loves it so much he carrys on...

Any way i pointed out a few runs to him and they will be sorted.

Welding and rust work is actualy amazing, i think he made sills up from scratch for me and did them because he said the others look like they would rust. That was at no extra fee.

and he found several bits of rust i didnt find and sorted them for no extra.

Around the windscreen and windows are like new!!! hahaha i almost collapsed when i saw them.

I just hope in daylight its as good as it looks, bumpers and kit all sprayed although im leaving them off the car so i can do under arches etc with out worrying about killing the kit.

I wish id bought new doors, slight imperfections in the metal ohh well ile buy them another day... (bill shhhhhhhh)

I really like it, yeah some holes can be picked but ohh well, he done shed loads of stuff :)

Seen the car this eve looks alot better in the flesh big up to Dave..H he and jrp have put alot of effort into the restoration project they should be pleased with the results so looking forward to seeing it running.

[JRP]

Its all about apreciating the welding/fabricating of the guy!!!

remember the rust guys?

[Adam L]

If you're trying to avoid engine bay scrathes, wack the engine on the subframe and bolt it in from underneath (the front end is stupidly light, I can lift it. That's unless you're super skilled in the art of lowering an engine into a car.

[JRP]

i have carpet etc to line the side with for that occasion ;)

[James5]

i have carpet etc to line the side with for that occasion ;)

Jon the subframe has to come off anyway so would be a really good idea to do it that way

[JRP]

Jon the subframe has to come off anyway so would be a really good idea to do it that way


What why does it? i could build loads up on that. but lifting the 5 hmmm thats an epic task

[Adam L]

You'd be suprised how light the front end is. although it's liftable by 1 man, i'd stick the engine/subframe on a couple of skateboards if you're poor, or a proper wheely board and lift the car with an engine crane and lower the shell over the running gear gently.

[The new Bill J]

Well I've got the headlights off of The Ghost. They've only been on there for 1000 miles, ish, and they've been run with protectors on them, so they're as good as new. Now I wasn't going to sell them, however..........

Did you use POR 15 for this? Looks good. I want to repaint the whole underside of my 5 soon and have been looking at Silver POR 15 with a top coat of 'Hardnose' in yellow.

[J$£5GTT]

por 15....:guitarhero:

:agree:

[JRP]

yep por 15.

dont get the white core with hardener its ****y and water like.

will take ten coats for good finish.

black is the best. and it lasts for ever.. ive painted subframe... under car.. loads of parts and only used 1/4 of a tin and its a small tin

[gtmatt]

Where's the best place to buy por15 ?

[JRP]

From this gaff.

Buy marine cleaner, metel ready and your paint selection ;)

Do you mean front ARB? The centre one isn't available but the two outside ones are available from reno.

[James5]

Screen dump attached

[JRP]

bolt is not available in 12mm and i think 12mm is the size i need or the subframe uses.

ohh i dunno what to do ohhhh ohhh ohhh

[James5]

Part Numbers for the attached


not giving me any part numbers for items 1,2 & 3:crap:

[James5]

ohh i dunno what to do ohhhh ohhh ohhh


The subframe is just a hole and so is the matting point on the shell you could prob get away with non renault locking nut's, washer's & bolt's matey of a higher tensile.

[Hoolio]

Do you mean front ARB? The centre one isn't available but the two outside ones are available from reno.

Sorry I meant the Centre bracket isn't available but I Pm'd you availability and part numbers for all the rest a while back. (inc 1,2 and 3)

cheers mate so i need to buy 3 items in total ??

[JRP]

yep. they really prep the surface for a good coat to take ;)

[JRP]

Note to self... Do in future make sure that you seal the POR 15 can lid.

If you dont jrp you will find it dried up into a rock hard ball in the can next time you come to use some.

Hoe much do people pay on average for powerder coating.. for example a sump, timing chain cover and a few other bits

[gtmatt]

Well I had 70 items plus sub frame £80 for matt black power coat including blasting

[James5]

[JRP]

Ok after being back in hosp, and having torn another disk... im 4 weeks even worse off my consultant said now. more bolts ehh

So what better time to sit in my wheel chair and devise a plan.

I will have my car on road in next 3 months.

People if you have parts that are not needed let me know i may have some cash to give.

For example i need a mint steering wheel and boss.

The rubber bit that sits between the rear engine mount the plate and the gear box.

I need mint ph1 door cards

Nice buckets and low side mounts

Black harneses....

i could go on...

[Andrew Cooke]

I think I saw the mount thing in my shed the other day

[JRP]

Neeed some help.

Toying with the idea of taking the 5 total back to o.e interior wise.

Also make the exterior look o.e so ile just store the cup wheels away. and get one of my speed line sets on.

Question is should i keep going, cage it, harneses seats etc like ive always wanted.

or do i make the interior as mint as i possibly can standard wise.


I really am stuck between the two... thing is i have drilled the holes for the cage already, so they would require welding up.

hmmmm help appreciated

[TrixNFlix]

:agree::agree::agree::agree:

like you said you always wanted. Go go go ;)

[JRP]

Just means at least an extra grand.. ohh well :) ile plod on :)

[TrixNFlix]

Will be worth it dude , nothing worst than ending up with something half hearted.

[JRP]

What's another grand :D

just seems alot and i love a standard example... but love a race look one hmmmm.

Ile buy an o.e gordini when i finnish this or ph1... and have best of both

[TrixNFlix]

I've got a similar thought to you. I'm getting alot of parts together for next year to make mine minty mint, but realy don't know which way to go as I have always had stripped out Slaggggs, and love them and want to get alot more track days under my belt, buf I also want the euro look with nice subtle interior , which I have already, ow which way to go. :cry:

[JRP]

Cage for sale:(

[Big Supes]

I'm tempted to cage mine, but only because they're tin cans.

[JRP]

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

JRP, Standard cars are great, but full out cage 5's just make you feel aggressive:agree:

[JRP]

yeah agreed, but the 5 deserves total o.e look i think... the caged up looks i feel is a car im not so worried about body work etc... if you get me

[Hoolio]

I know this appears odd but here you go John:)

[JRP]

Update, Electrics all checked and working ok woooooo :)

A few issues, the cars in neutral according to the gear stick, yet its in gear.

No 3rd 4th or 5th

At a guess just fiddle with the gear linkage?

Apart from that just gotta sell cage and cup wheels and ile finnish her off :)

[James5]

Any updates on this Mr Jihed???

[JRP]

Hmmm just in from garage, nearly 3am....

Turning over but no spark so no ignition, but also no sign of fuel making its merry way up....

At least it is wanting to turnover :) before you replace the tdc john try another relay by the aei to see if that helps give spark if not then get another tdc. Remember matey if there is no spark there will be no fuel. The flywheel wheel will trigger the tdc which will then give spark which will also send a signal via the aei to the fuel pump relay which will activate the fuel pump.

[JRP]

Just a pic of teh bay as it was last night.

Few points.

New expansion bottle to be fitted,

New intercooler not to stay on, storing.

just needs a tidy but looks ok :)

[Hoolio]
