'DOOD' mobile has the customary 11... SEX SEAT!!!
sex chair FTW!! probably the only reason they sold 50! lol'DOOD' mobile has the customary 11... SEX SEAT!!!
Yup,-reckon so! Unique Selling Point or what!
Love the old skool, carb lobster with only one outlet
Looking good fella, now wind da boost up
Cheers fella, did think of boost increase although as its all so original might leave it all OE as not many phase 1 11 turbos around. Still got few bits to do but getting there slowly...
Bit of an update,-have bought some tie rod ends last month for the rack so hoping they are the correct ones! Also bought a brand new windscreen last week and top mount rubber 'doughnuts' for the old girl. It has to be one of the very last screens left! needs new top mounts so hoping these rubber 'doughnuts' do the job, just need to get busy with the spanners

Long overdue update, progress is slow due to lack of time and money as I own 2 other cars, anyways had the brand new windscreen fitted in February, when March came I had to move the 11 as was moving out of the house. I did consider selling up as space was an issue with me taking the 172 Cup and Raider, so have found a home for the old girl on my Nans drive for now.
On driving her to her new home, radiator developed a leak from where a mate of a mate made a good rad out of the original one and a phase 2 i bought second hand, needless to say it didnt last long so i managed to source a good nearly new phase 1 rad.

So, new rad fitted, system flushed fresh coolant, bled up jobs a good'un! next on the list is to sort the badly worn steering rack
So got another rack for the 11, however it was a phase 2 item and therefore no good, so I bought a second hand one from a guy in Scotland, fitted new gaitors, and track rod ends then fitted to the car and got the tracking set up properly
Also got a full set of anti roll bar bushes to fit along with the top mount bushes to stop the 'shady' handling.
The old girl had a hole in offside jacking point, and inner wing where it had been repaired before just rather badly. Took her for bit of a drive to a chap who's very handy with a welder to do the honours,- cheers Mal! went to pick up the old 11 this afternoon
Car seems to be coming along ok now, finding some new parts to replace the worn out is always a challenge. Exhaust centre section has a few holes so sourced a new one to go on, also took the 11 for a cheeky MOT today and at 26 years young all good to go for another 12 months!
Love it ! Black, Phase 1, clock info thingy ! Sunroof ?
If your going down the O.E route, do you have the original alloy's for it?? Might know somebody who's got a set

Well done on finding the parts!
Yup has the fuel computer/clock that works, sunroof alsoLove it ! Black, Phase 1, clock info thingy ! Sunroof ?
Yeah, got original alloys, - in the boot. Tyres about 15-20 years old and worn so put spare wheels on it for now, original rims in pretty good nickIf your going down the O.E route, do you have the original alloy's for it?? Might know somebody who's got a set
Fantastic :-) Let me know if you ever decide to sell it :-)Yup has the fuel computer/clock that works, sunroof also
Managed to get a bit of shelter for the 11 against the elements this year, gave the garage a quick tidy up and squeezed her in. I've ordered new standard shocks allround, just awaiting delivery so handling should be much improved next year!
, need to find a garage for the sideways blue coffin
lol hows about if i move the freezer on the right?
Received my replacement shocks for 11 that I found on ebay, been watching the rears for a while, however from another seller found some brand new old stock front Monroes aswell! Bit of a bargain of the year, all shocks delivered £52.00!!!
A set of lowering springs and it'll be spot on fella
lol did think that, however where would I be able to source them from? and its staying OEA set of lowering springs and it'll be spot on fella
Well I fitted R19 16v springs on the front and it dropped 40mm and stiffened it up no end.lol did think that, however where would I be able to source them from? and its staying OE
Try getting a set for 1.7L R11, should be stiffer, might need to lop a coil over to give a drop though
Might see if I can source some 11 1.7 springs if ones on the car are past their best, defo keeping it original and not modding it
Bit of an update, the 11 emerged from the garage after winter so decided to get started on the front suspension taking strutts out, and front wishbones replaced as bushes and balljoints past their best
With the strutts off and taken apart, I cleaned up the spring cups and bought new genuine top mounts, bearings and anti roll bar bushes from Renault as other anti roll bar bushes I bought werent right and my mate now works at Renault! lol
Also decided to buy new front coil springs and shock absorber gaitors aswell to complete the new set up
Good work
Thanks mate, yeah its great still being able to get genuine parts for a 26 year old car
Bit more progress on the 11, struts built up, and bolted on
New anto roll bar bushes fitted to complete front end freshen up, and wheels back on at last!
Looks well, just needs the o.e alloys on
Not been driven or on the road since last year so got it insured for another year a bargain £95! Time for cheeky road test and petrol stop
Cheers Brigsy, oe alloys are in the boot, in good nick just need new rubber fitting which is still on the list of things to doLooks well, just needs the o.e alloys on
Have made some progress on the 11 recently, earlier this month carb was rebuilt as pretty sure it had never been done since 1986! Then got it set up and replaced a couple of hoses for piece of mind along with new dizzy cap, rotor arm, ht leads and aux belt ready for the trip to National Day at Blyton Park.
Also popped a head unit in the old girl, cheers to caymanr26 (Tim)

Looking gr8 fella - loved the sex seat @ Blyton, and TBH, there's something nice about the standard T2 - just look at the peddle and she's a spooling. Keep up the great work.
Cheers Andy, know you're a big fan of the sex seat from when you have your 11Looking gr8 fella - loved the sex seat @ Blyton, and TBH, there's something nice about the standard T2 - just look at the peddle and she's a spooling. Keep up the great work.
Few pics of the 11 on the way and at Blyton Park National Day 2013
Progress has been slow after ND, I did however get given a few spares bits and pieces from a guy at renault where my mate works, he used to own an 11 turbo himself, so he kindly donated these to the spares fund of project 'Dood' Also sorted a loose trim panel in the boot by stumbling across these clips on good on ebay for pennies, have had some luck with finding parts for the old girl!
Small update.... exhaust on the 11 has been blowing for a while from the centre section, so as ive had a replacement standard centre section kicking about for getting on for a year it was time to get it fitted with MOT once again looming, bit of grinder action and it was off!
New centre fitted on Dood, looks pretty solid under there, MOT done so all legal for another year
