    Welcome along Shane!!

    Beautiful example you've got there & such a DEEP shine too!!!

    I Recommend you get yourself an original Grille from Renault to finish it off before they're all gone!! 7701367888 FRONT GRILLE N5T

    Its not going to be anything mad, just replace everything for new, also 285 cam, t25 turbo, some headwork and few little bits. Thats the plan anyway

    thanks for the welcome everyone

    Welcome mate, there's a good bunch of guys in the Plymouth area, nice looking motor you got there!

    Also dont take it to Allan Jefferies for any carb jetting - he doesnt know his ass from his elbow with the Solex, but im sure he is fine with EFI...
