I purely wanted to restore an R5 as I loved them in my early 20's although I always intended to sell there after , I have a bodywork only back ground . I only work in my wine bar on weekend nights so I worked on this vehicle virtually every long day for almost 3 months , the car was stripped to a shell with the remaining items being the engine , suspension , dashboard and fuel tank . All the plastics were prepped primed , the vehicle was then taken to a local bodyshop where necessary mig / spot welders were available the bodywork required small repair sections to the flitch panels behind the wing / headlamps , both sill panels had fabricated zinc plate steel sections fitted , again for both footwells , both 1/4 panels had replacement panel / rear bumper mount sections fitted , also both 1/4 panels had to have a repair section panel repairs to the rear arches ! The car is solid !!!! Small areas of Filler was applied to the osf wing x 1 dent , roof x 2 dents , tailgate x 3 dents ,the bonnet was replaced with a second hand panel due to the original having rust around the inside of the hinge structure , larger skims of filler were applied to the door skins and 1/4 panels mostly due to the wave look that these cars have when looking down the panels . Now all the panels are sturdy and looking well !! The repaint took place In the oven bake booth where 3 coats of 2 pack high build primer were applied , the vehicle (R5) was wet flatted before it was re-masked and then we applied a 3m 2 pack sealer to panel seams along the rear panel , front panel , then the and product was sprayed along the bottom flange of the sill panels , the R5 was baked in the oven at 80 degrees for 15 mins again then panel wiped several times , one coat of wet on wet primer was applied then 2 coats of water base original metallic grey then lastly 3 coats of laquer top coat !!. Before build up the r5 went on a ramp where all the copper brake pipes were replaced and the floor panel seams were applied with the 3m 2 pack sprayable sealer . The next morning a black underseal spray was applied to cover the grey 3m sealer , before build up alot of spray able wax oil was applied into all the inner sill 1/4 panel doors etc , I then took the vehicle back to my friends large garage for build up where it has been since , seats and carpets were pressure steamed and vacuumed with 2 outer bolster seat foams and covers had to be replaced , seat frames were sprayed black and rear seat back also , new clips to interior panel trims arches etc all renewed , new windscreen , wipers , outer screen seal , roof aerial , scuttle trim , second hand headlamp unit fitted due to poor brightness ! All the engine bay is present working and looking well and working as it should be !!! A mechanic I know came at different stages fitting new brakes discs , pads , brake pipes , complete engine service , second hand carb base as the mixture screw was seized , new clutch cable , thermostat , fan relay all replaced because as they are prone to fail , the vehicle runs at the right temp with the fan kicking in nicely , the turbo is standard and my mechanic says it has not been messed with and has a solid fan ??? This car has not been messed with by some boy racers it drives really well . All tyres are standard uniroyal tyres with 7mm tread . I had the wheels ,spare wheel , battery tray , spare wheel cage all powder coated . The only none standard items being the turbo heat shield , stainless steel exhaust system and that there are no door locks so the R5 has a none standard remote central locking system , there is a folder of all the cars history , receipts , MOT's , service book etc .
