RETRO GOLD Reanult 5 TL project

Picked up this little gem nice and cheap, my friend purchased it to get the plate from it , and as such i managed to wangle a deal with him as i needed a run about and my r5 fix.

The car stunk of dogs, so i spent almost half a day hoovering the thing, lowered it and drove it and its been great.

I dont think r5's this shape really come more retro, Its slow, very slow, great on fuel and a great hoot, bodyworks real straight , the sills have had a few mot welding repairs one of which will need redoing before mot , but im super happy with my purchase.

Looks great!

That's the colour I've been waiting for someone to do a GTT in. It's lush.

The interior, barring front seats and door cards seems to have come up a treat :)

Btw, I'd stick the mats through the washing machine. Much less work :D

is that the same colour as mine? if so sean on here has the correct plastic trim and bumpers to match the colour from a monaco he broke.

That's correct mate but I've sold the parts to you Mojo? lol

I got fairly few lefts to sell such as shell on dolly as front end suspension parts sold with rare sliding sunroof, doors, tailgate and 1.7 engine/box 😉👍

Forgot to add, got complete set of plastic body panels trims and front/rear bumpers from my purple colour r5 EBS GTX 👍

sorry sean thought you had got another monaco. my mistake. although the 1.7 engine you have is great fun in a 5.

to be honest i like the different colored trim, it just suits the car well.

and cheers for the kind words, not sure im keeping it yet as i need a daily wagon to tow the nissan.. but its growing on me and i love driving it.. hmm

i bet you love how comfortable those seat are. like being in an arm chair

Looks good, cheap on fuel and a hoot to drive gotta be a win win, could be a good winter runaround or spare car, then maybe drop a c1j in later on ;) :agree:
