My winter project 5

Howdy,

bought Andy bonds 5 today, he is gutted about selling it, but I will be updating this thread as I go.

Needs a bottom end rebuild..was gunna use it as a track car, but the shell is totally rot free... So I may end up using bajjer as the track car... I'm not sure yet!

Any way a few pics

Nice project to have! The more I see of them, the more I'd like a black 5! Just an idea but I believe Marky mark has got an f7p for sale.....? ;)

Good luck with whatever path you choose fella!

Black 5s are the bees knees :)

Yes the bonnet is for sale, it is made from fibreglass so its very very light, but it does require some tlc/paint

had a morning on the 5 today, weighed up my options and rather than repair the current engine, a friend of mine so happened to have a fully working lump :D

so a deal was done and i fitted the new engine this morn, in the cold, wet and wind :coffee:

You 'tard !

I told you when you bought it. :mad:

Had another morning on it over the weekend, she is up and running now :D ignore the boost hoses, they are just spares I had laying around.

Plan is, I'm selling my other 5, Bajjer, due to buying a house, so this will be my main 5 from now on. Black samcos planned. Already fitted my turbo technics s117 and one piece down pipe.

More to come!

Is that you without a 5 now Andy?

Some good work going on there :) is that some sort if instant gasket between the turbo to downpipe? If so would it withstand the heat. I'm not questioning you I'm more curious for my own needs :D. I've always liked the black 5 shame your selling it.

Cheers buddy :)

The only reason I used the red gasket sealant is because I got the downpipe cheap, the seller told me he had probs with it blowing and the only solution was this stuff. It's good for 250c! .... So far no blowing issues :agree:

The car is stored at my mates, till end of the month then I have to move it. He is selling the house and doesn't want the 5 on the pics on rightmove :laugh:

But he had yest off work and kindly started stripping the interior. Next up is carpet and doorcards

Never seen door cards like that before. Are the speaker bits and door pockets one piece? :confused:

I am still with Renault though - my megane r26 more than makes up for it .

Aye Goobie seems that way, I just presumed they were phase 1 doorcards? Maybe I'm wrong!

They are rear ph1 doorcards with another grafted onto the front.

Regarding the seats , they weight a chuffing ton. If you are tracking it , sell the complete interior and get a track focused light seat.

However , if not they are very comfy

Looking good :agree:

is that 250c that's fine for sump sealant but not turbo / exhaust you need something that can withstand around 800- 1000c

I guessed as much James, it's all I had to hand, I just wanted to make sure the downpipe wasn't a total loss with it not sealing well for the previous owner. Will get some more hardcore stuff and a new gasket before it sees the road :D

Looking good matey.. glad to hear the downpipe is ok.. I never used ted stuff though was like a brown fibre paste SPA turbo stuff.. But if that does the job :agree:

Hairy muff :) Most E's I have seen (including one I previously owned) are PH1.5 and have the later suspension but there must be a few that old style struts fitted. The lottery of the parts bin at the factory :D

hows this coming along?

Slowly but surely,

I've just this week got it taxed and driving around as I've had rear light connection problems so I replaced n/s loom front to back and cleaned up the connections in the holders. And all is well. I also have removed the remnants of a Clifford alarm and airhorn And associated wiring, I fit a cool running thermostat and new relay and removed the In Car fan switch and wireing as I'm only running standard boost it was pointless. Traced a waterleAk in passenger footwell coming from heater matrix so I have disconnected that until I have time to take dash out and replace the unit. I've got 2x carbs and neither was set up for standard turbo so I am running rich and need to get that sorted. The windows motors were slow and non moving so I have replaced p/s and all I'd well but I will need more time on d/s as that goes down but not up.
Fitted various gaskets the engine, ordered a soft clutch kit fixed the headlight issues replaced bumper. Once I get on top of my running issues I've got a 2wd cossie cooler to go on that was pressure tested and painted and alloy welded at NRG. I'm sure there's more I have done and I still have lots to do.
