    Ah typical old renaults! I've got loads of spares if you need anything. Complete nut and bolt / re-shell to original spec apart from polysport anti roll bar rubbers and tyres. I will get some pics up in the week

    Haha never saw it man! I must have gone around with my eyes shut there used to be a red one in a near by village elsenham which I saw driving once and I did see a radar or blue coloured project up at Carr and bircher, Newport. I'm amazed at how close you guys are.

    I'm so amazed that there are a few around here! One in elsenham was standard looking, steel wheels and completely stripped out inside. Just sat outside someone's house for a year or so

    Re: r5 Cambridge

    Just to throw it in the mix I'm not too far from Cambridge either I'm in a small village called isleham be good to sort out some meets in summer. I have done a coastal meet before starting in kings Lynn and running on some nice roads along the coast stopping for some sights and food. Then end up in Yarmouth for the night but to start would do some Cambridge meets so we can all get to know each other and check some cars out be good to catch up with some old members and meet some new ones.

    Thankyou for all the positive feedback guys, very much appreciated
    I'm right up for some local meets this summer and have a look at some nice cars (if the summer actually turns up)
    Yes it was a full respray in Renault 5 black, new inner & outer seals you know the story. I done it myself with professional help. Shall get a thread going so you can see what's been done. Underside is as clean as the outside of the car but I should imagine that won't last long.
    So buzzing when the weather is dry for a spin
