Funds arrived, looking at 8400 quid in 50's right now.... im itching to go to the bookies.... i know in my heart that could be trebled, but also the risk factor.

5k for paint and 3.4 for the bookies .Whats the problem :rolleyes::laugh:

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
:agree: well done, what you doing about interior? You going for minty oe? & Engine bay or for something different?
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
Leave it stripped matey but keep your interior stored so you have the option to put it inQuote:

they are slicks indeed, but only good for track use. not sure what im doing with them yet old man...
mmmmmmmmmm slicks
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 :)
more
Difference:scared:
Great pics, there's no doubt he's done a great job, but can you see yourself driving it? I'd be scared to death of getting any scratches etc on it. :scared:
Drive whats that? naa its gonna sit in a car cacoon and never go out, doubt ile take it nat day ever Either

Who's the handsome fella on the left lol
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.
Its all about apreciating the welding/fabricating of the guy!!!
remember the rust guys?
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.
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 wayQuote:

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.
Required
Who has door seals, Boot seal, and campus rear windows with seals available?
Dont wanna chip my paint:cry:

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

From this gaff.
Buy marine cleaner, metel ready and your paint selection ;)

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...
I think I saw the mount thing in my shed the other day
Sh!t, man.... I've got a fooked disk in my back that looks like it'll need surgery soon. Felt like an old man rolling around on the concrete getting my engine out yesterday. :(Quote:

Was a good eve matey, shame there wasn't much progress made, what with the head having to come off due to a fubbard spark plug hole :crap: was 1 step forward and 2 steps back. But at least that is all sorted now, and a few other things done in the right direction.
good pics and good work guys who is the good looking bloke driving that mk6 gti :D
Prob that ****er phil middleton.... how was oxted? did you get meet your mistery man? wondered what the poppers you were sniffing were for:laugh:
lol :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
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
:agree::agree::agree::agree:Quote:

like you said you always wanted. Go go go ;)
Just means at least an extra grand.. ohh well :) ile plod on :)Quote:

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

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:
Cage for sale:(
I'm tempted to cage mine, but only because they're tin cans.
well drive up with a van give me cash and take mine away ;)Quote:

JRP, Standard cars are great, but full out cage 5's just make you feel aggressive:agree:
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
I know this appears odd but here you go John:)
More
More
thanks dude :)
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 :)
Any updates on this Mr Jihed???
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....
think maybe tdc and kind lead req:cry:
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.Quote:

New expansion bottle to be fitted,

just needs a tidy but looks ok :)
looks more than ok:) sure you'll have that ignition problem sorted soon to.
I hope it to be finnished by FEB 10
What's going on on the 10th? How you getting on with the interior?
I think he means the year 2010, rather than Febuary 10th :laugh:Quote:

Slow and long process! heheh
i ment 2010 but people are welcome round mine on feb 10th :)
Running.
A few small hitches, the odd leak... looks like ive corrected all those.
Fan not working/comming on.
Tryed bridging connection but nothing.
Tested the fan on a live and it works.... thinking connections, tryed different relays etc still nothing...
I would have thought that bridging the fan as in the way i would wire it to inside the car for over ride would work, but nothing.
Anybody handy with electrics etc, as id like to leave te car running for ages just to see how it heats cools, runs, vlah blah
Any ideas?
Im so happy:)
If it was me i would unplug the fan then bridge a piece of wire to the earth connection and just wedge it back into the plug and then try shorting the earth connection to the battery and see if it comes on when upto temperature, if it does then you know you have an earth problem somewhere, if it still does not work try the same but this time all you need to do is connect the live to the battery, you do not need to wait for it to heat up and see if it comes on, if it does then there is a live problem, then its a case of tracing back wards, a little bit of a bodge but at least if your careful you can do this with no specific experience or tools.Quote:

Thanks for letting me use your garage JRP:agree:. its about time i gave my 5 some loving, i think she was getting jealous with me spending to much time on yours. lol:)
Get your bum out :laugh::laugh:
I'm getting really into the white 5's at the minute. I'm considering getting one myself.
I hope your car is out and about soon mate :)
Lost all enthusiasm.. yeah i cant spell... maybe thats my downfall.. at a loss, might leave it for a few years to fester and rot in the damp...Quote:

Not to mention the help from all my friends from this place, and those who have helped, im extremly greatful.. it has not gone un noticed, i will be there when you need.
Its because of these people ile keep going on the 5, or it would be a huge let dow to all helping hands involved.. ive learnt who is helpful and a good friend, also learnt that alot of people just mean well non stop... and those who dont.. well let them be nasty and take things just hope you get caught by a meanie one day... if i caught you, you know id forgive instantly there for i guess thats why i find my self mugged off so often.

at the end of the the day a sidey does sound good. Keep your options open.
mate your car is looking sweet, i wish mine was at that point. White rock :)
Been awhile since they were £11 they are £25.96 + vat. New cap is extra.Quote:

Dont give up on this mate, its a credit to you. Keep up the good work and I hope everything works out for you with your back problems, work etc.
Cheerio! :)
oops! :ashamed:
Cheers alan, its a working nightmare process.
Update
So thanks to phils help the oiler cooler is in situ, as per pics.
Getting the front bumper on is the biggest mission ever. After chipping the paintwork and craking the arch.... dont ask how, but barley noticable.
I found the tow bar to be bent, so i bent it down back where it should be.
But i went to remove it, two bolts one for the engine mount and the other solely for the tow bar. The engine mount is tight as arse holes, but the actual tow one is a tad loose will this matter? I doubt it but could be wrong.
Also last night was a good crack.. 5five 5's in the drive was a good effort! almost a T2, nice to see new faces and all are more than welcome back :)
that looks fresh!!!!
nice car pal, mine will be never finished ran out of money lol :) next year maybe
phil whats with the football factory hair cut lol
like your work jrp front indicators renault i got mine for £12 a side but may be more now check with mike:)
Yeah need new indicators, also fogs :)
Its not as good as the pics make it look. needs alot of sorting at the body shop!
Even once thats done i bet it still dont look super, his metal work is amazing, sparying skills a bit poo.
Nice mate... not far off now?
:)
Shes getting there JRP, befor you know it mate you will be gettng a mot for her.
Good work lads :agree:
Looks awesome mate, not too much left to do!
Cars looking fantastic well done guys looks even better with the bumper and grill on you just need to get those bump strips & fogs in place to finish the bumper off.
It looks so nice.

What parts are you not happy with john? Remember you see it everyday and so if your as critical as me, then these flaws will be etched on your brain, the reality is most people won't even notice these bits. But the damage is done as you know the flaws :cry: oh the woe:( :DQuote:

Hey Jon its not so long ago that this was a shell with some rust issues. I would be pretty chuffed to have the car looking as good as it does and any details can be ironed out, we've all got stuff we aren't happy about our cars.Quote:

Required heater box etc etc not matrix as thats new.
hmmmm
looks a bit different to earlier that dash does mate:agree:
Well me and Phil, went around JRP's yesterday whilst he was @ work we decided to spit roast his hmmmm:eek: :laugh: (sorry John). Oops I mean't we done some work to JRP's 5 and to be honest there isn't much left to do now before the car can be put in for an MOT all that is left to do is
- Replace Dash,
- Replace Passenger seat,
- Replace lower interior plastics,
- Replace Heather fan cover / guard (scuttle),
- Tighten coolant pipes in engine bay to heater matrix,
- Drain engine oil and put new in oil in,
- Remove and renew all calipers due to knackered and snapped nipples (Allthough we could drill and tap),
- Fit braided brake lines,
- Bleed brake system,
- Bonnet to be fitted,
- Tailgate Badge,
- Fit refurbed speedlines,
- Upload more pics of progress
I knew my garage had been used... tea bags missing... suger levels running low... smell of ciggies in the air (phil) and jizz in the ash tray and on door handles:laugh:

Well, I love coming to a project thread to find almost everything is done and I don't have to wait long to see the finished product :laugh:
Looks like you guys have had a lot of fun amongst all the hard work. The car looks feckin' brilliant bud. :agree:
Just washed it, update pics to follow :)
Updated pics, although its the same as yuou have seen before i think.
One of the pics is identical to one i took whilst i owned my red 5... who has that pic?
wow
That looks fantastic, are you putting some graphics on it? I fancy some for mine but after looking at yours its a hard one :)
Could i ask how you got the colour back in the wing mirrors, are they painted black, back to black or brand new?
phil
original ones but cleaned up, i hate it when the bits on wing mirrors are sprayed the colour of the car as opposed to what they should be ... grey/blacky.
side decals will be going on at some point
looking good jerp my lovely..will i get to sit in it at national then....:D, im hopin my phase one will be just as minty in the summer too, well done you and the lads , nowt better than seing a nice crisp restored gt turbo....lush...:)Quote:

Just a little tip I discovered for cleaning black"dimple" finish plastics, apply a small drop of olive oil on a microfibre cloth rub in well then rub off. It sounds mad but does work. It won't work miracles with old faded plastics but will clean old polish etc away..
The fronts been lowered on 35mm springs with new oe shocks and the rear has been raised to a few mm below oe height as she was slammed on her arse when jrp pick her upQuote:

The car is now as it stands (due to hard work by the following James5, Dave..H, philr5t, Fido's got a raidar) Mot ready more or less... some more gear box oil and its ready..
All the tiny small bits have been getting done over the past few weeks to which i owe thanks to the above mentioned for helping.
Once Mot'd (sat 17th 9am) and assuming it passes the tracking set up, it will be road tested fully, then sat until monday 19th when it goes to the body shop for the few finnishing touches... this is assuming it passes mot.
What with some rather testing times over the past year, back opperations and the like.... silly drug things blah blah, i just wanna say thanks to all involved in helping; wether it by giving of parts, advice etc etc and for those close keeping me on the straight and narrow... even to the extent they talked about building an engine for my wheel chair.
If it was not for certain people on here my car would still be the 300 quid wreck it was on day dot.. not the multiples or k it now stands at.
cheers chaps.:agree:
How much do you want for the car? :cooter:...:coffee:
Your welcome matey loved doing it fingers crossed for the mot I can't see anything going wrong or it failing :laugh: everything is like new.
You got any pics floating about mate?

Hope jrp is pleased with the end results keep me / us posted on MOT results matey :)
Before I forget don't forget to get the tracking looked at JRP and get them to alighn your steering wheel up correctly aswell ;)
The only things that can go wrong at MOT is the wheel bearings and co2. They should do the head light alignment for you.

its not jrp but hay
i dont think you will have any probs with the mot jerp especially when its my mate doing it ;);):D
A few pictures.
Had a few issues. Main one being the alternator is KAPUT, car would start then run up road, idle then die.... then not turn over just click.... leave it 10 mins its just about starts.
Put volt meter across alt running and got 11.26 v and same across battery, our guess alternator....
any way once thats done, all shall be ok...
only other issue was heater matrix pipe blew off and slight missing at about 3k revs,
blah blah, blah blah
Ohhhhhhhhh also hand brake light is constantly on>>>> any ideas people?
another good night tonight jerp so close to being back on the road :agree:
re: the alt / battery prob. be sure to check and re check all earths are good ;)
I had an rac guy tell me 130miles from home, that my battery and alt are kaput. only to get relayed home and find my earth had came loose slowly over a couple of weeks untill the bolt feel out and was no longer attached to anything :(
fixed that and still have the same battery and alt that the guy tested and said was at fault.
missfire ? or just bogging down ?
Handbrake light system on the 5 is pretty simple there is a switch on the hand brake that sends a signal when the handbrake is placed in the down position to the dash to turn off the dash light, I am assuming either the cable wasn't put back on for the handbrake off switch or the switch is broken (the cable is lilac/ purple in colour with a spade connection on it) or it got knocked off when the carpet was put back in.Quote:

Maybe worth putting an extra earth in place you can never have to many earths but they need to go to bare metal and from a bare metal part of the engine could just be due to the car being painted that nothing is going to a bare metal part of the car.
3k missfire could be a few things, spark plug gap incorrect, knackered dizzy + Rota arm, HT leads, Main HT leads, AEI, Fueling related, Timing (Dizzy gear), TDC.
With ref to the heater matrix pipe just get it on an tighthen it up :laugh:
But top work guys I take it you done the gearbox fluid now? Shame I couldn't be with you all yesterday :(
This is a ready for MOT project renault 5 gt turbo.... by no means finnished yet!! but MOT reday.
Now i'll bore you with lots of photos

Let me know how it goes tomorrow morning:agree:
Best of luck mate:burnrubber:
FAIL
001. near side front (no beam image) needs adjusting (HOW?)
002. offside front drives seat insecure (after a total tug)
003. off side rear fuel system leaking (WILL NEVER FILL UP AGAIN)
004. exhaust emmissions too high(DONE)
005. engine idle speed to high (DONE)
006. offside front tie rod nut loose. steering locking device insecure (DONE)
007. offside lower ball joint nut/bolt loose locking device ineffective (DONE)
008. offside rear inner wheel arch not welded to outer sill...(tiny gap)
009. nearside front inner sill one little hole
010. near side outer sill not welded to inner suspension comp (tiny amount)
Thing is i didnt bother with inner seals as they all appeared fine!...
I HAVE THE FECKING NEEDLE
although the things wrong are very small in comparison to things that potential could be wrong.
Big thanks to all in volved to this point, your hard work has shown, and these silly fails are my piss poor fault.
Good luck with it geez, sure you will have it sorted in no time :agree:
At least we have a list :) Easy fix matey alot of that unfortunatly I can't weld (yet I plan on doing a course thus year) but I can sure sort out the rest of it and the emissions but I am sure we can get it to run leaner just need an emissions tester kit or a wideband to make sure fueling is find. Did they say were the leak of fuel was actually coming from at the rear?

Ok, i have done a fw of the bits, track rod, ball joint, emissions, idle speed.
Well i think ive done teh emmisions assuming the gas o tester is accurate.
Need to get a small thing for the drivers seat front screw, as the tiny block has gone missing. (not the big black things for the rear bolts on drivers seat)
Just burnt feck out my hand, saw heater matrix hose popping off again (after tightning) and as i poped hand down to nick it up it popped off! CNUT!
anyway im getting there

Could be a case of getting it online and getting it delivered and when you pic your 5 up putting it on then
car looks amazing :yeah: almost like its just driven out of the showroom!:eek:!
so jelous you wouldnt belive!:agree::agree::agree:
Drive to body shop...
1. A new oil leak has sprung, and its a real leak not a drip. (possible the oil pressure sender thingy)
2. gearbox oil leak still... where the feck is it comming from.
3. need tank repair putty stuff!!! i belive the bung is to blame for my leak, lost alot of fuel on the road.
Apart from that it drives real nice, just needs some tracking doing.
Looks like when i get it back (errrrrrhhh) i'll remove all hoses from teh bay and find the leaks :)

The strips aren't Radbourne decals, they were put on a few of the late cars in serveral dealships in the South, not sure about the rest of the UK.Quote:

Trying to sort out the things the body shop so woefully attempted to correct.... pathetic if iam to be truthful.
Anyhooooo it took fecking ages but i think one maybe two more sessions on it i may be a tad closer to being happier, this is how she now looks.
:(
She looks absolutely Spangly-tastic mate! :niceone:
Defincately looking forward to getting a picture of all these minty OE examples re-emerging now! ;)
P.S. - I like your old man's new 5 series! :D

so its ll go go here.. still in 2 minds wether to change the rods with the pistons etc (makes sense in my head)
anyway a few other things being done, general clean up of bay and under the car AGAIN...
So 563 miles done and now having a change up... pic to follow :) peace

Nice one ;) i saw it on ebay pistons at a decent price then in the add he put the liners in from ktec or somthing. really nice guy when he dropped them off.. just said it was sitting going to waste so selling on.
i'll check the liners out at the machine shop, i need special rings for the liners though nik somthing or other ?? any suggestions? or would the ones that come with the pistons suffice?
tbh i think it was the mecca car parts ones, but could of been the gay-tech ones.. Damn my memory is getting bad lol..
That will be nickercil (spelling) .. I run total seal ones, but then they are a bit hit and miss with sealing.. I think some people just run standard rings.. All you've got to remember is 1 of the surfaces has the bed into the other, so something has to give ;)
where do i gt nicercil ones from then :)

I'm not sure you can get them.. Nickercil is normally a coating found on the bores.. I got my rings through the guy who does alot of engine work for me.. I'd have to have a look at my paperwork to see where i bought them from as they come from the states via a uk distributer.Quote:

james i'm not sure there was a past number as all you do is measure the ring depth and obviously size of piston and then they'll match it up.. I'll have a look round a some point though.
True true.. see how much power i can run... might as well lolQuote:
