Bought this back in July 2010 as a project with the sole idea off just using it for the shell, It had a full re spray a couple of years back and both sills replaced recently, So was a good base to start on. Then I was away in Canada for a month so nothing happened to it for a while.
I hadn't really touched it since I buying it and it just sat on my drive looking like this for the winter months.
My plans where to fit a 180-200bhp Renault 5 GT Turbo engine I had and turn into a reliable track car. That then went out of the window when I was offered a complete F7P Turbo converted Renault 5 GT Turbo. It had only done about 1200 miles since the re build and had receipts adding up too thousands so I bought it !
One on the way back from picking it up.
The engine
Now that I had the new engine I thought I better start building the car up.
Over the last 6 months I have been collecting some parts for the build also cleaning up some others that I all ready had like:
Safety devices roll cage
Sabelt 6 point harness and seat
Willwood 4 pots
Carbon fibre bonnet
15" Oz super turismo wheels
Poly bushed sub frame with new wish bone's and ball joints
Starting work on the good grey one
Day one - Interior
Day two - Engine bay
Day three - In the garage, I managed to remove most of the seam sealant and done some of the work getting it ready for painting, still loads more to do though.
Day four - Carried on with the interior, dash, loom and heater out.
Also some help from Daisy.
So that's it so far, I've missed loads of bit's like the 4 hours i spent scraping sound deading off and the roof lining, but all of those picture are on my camera as you can see these one are just the **** ones of my iPhone.
Got so many plans for it in the future, but I'm holding back on alot as i want it ready for Mallory Park 2011.
Will do my best to keep this updated. enjoy Lewis
