Yep, just gone and bought another oneoff MarkyMark, Its black, pretty solid by the looks of it and drives really nice just needs the bodywork sorting over the next few months. So i'll get some pictures of it in its current state then go from there. Starting a thread to really keep myself motivated with it. Bare with me I'll have to get a picture.

Is this your black 5 that was at the surrey meet marky? Did look smart nice and straight n all.
I'm not hanging abooot, I've done the whole buying from Renault malarky and the panals/kits are never ripple free, pretty much every panal on the red ones from Reno, apart from rear quarters, so am going to do this on a budget/ ebay style. Looking for Drivers side Door/ in excellent condition/ any colour, and standard front and rear bumpers/ front foglights/ grille, not cracked but cosmetic damage is fine. If anyone can help send me a message!
Cheers.
Yeah its my black 5 that i drove to Surrey meet in mate, i took David out in it and he almost agreed to buy it there and then.Is this your black 5 that was at the surrey meet marky? Did look smart nice and straight n all.
I'll put the pic's i have of it up now of when i put it up for sale.
Tell the truth!I was a bit of a pussy
although in all fairness when you go from running around in my car which at the time had no boost, to 17psi, its going to feel quick

Here's few pics
Cheers Mark
i hope the fuel flap is staying
looks like a nice one and if mark has had it there shouldn't be much wrong with it.
i started a project thread to re-motivate me but i don't think it's gonna happen, good luck with it
Tell the truth!its all about da boost
Cheers mate, nah the fuel caps the first thing to go. Unfortunetely that is a car I have no motivation for, I'll probably sell it to my sister
This used to be my friend's car
He done the TD-04 conversion on it. He also sorted some welding like rear bumper mounts, I think the fronts too and the sills were all gravy.
And now Mark's changed the engine it'll be a cracker
Good news mate. I'm taking it to Peugeot where I work and am going to put it on the ramp this weekend, just to have a poke about and go from there
Been Busy the last 3 days, got the week off work, so have been going at it, no fannying about, Ill upload pictures tommorrow but have pretty much done all the prep work/ primed and ready to paint apart from the bumpers which I need to get! so tommorrow being well, I'll hit the shell, then do the detachables at the weekend, small stumbling block is I can't get the doors off as the pins have rusted shut, so left it to soak overnight, and hopefully they'l tap free in the morning.
I was going to repair the doors but I would of been there all week filling, plus they had rusted holes in the inners, and loads of filler in already, so bought some brand new doors from Renault at the costly sum of £476 including the hinge kit.Still least it'll be nice and straight.
The colour is going to be Obsidian black mettalic (Peugeot colour)
