Howdy,
bought Andy bonds 5 today, he is gutted about selling it, but I will be updating this thread as I go.
Needs a bottom end rebuild..was gunna use it as a track car, but the shell is totally rot free... So I may end up using bajjer as the track car... I'm not sure yet!
Any way a few pics
Cheers
Lee
Nice project to have! The more I see of them, the more I'd like a black 5! Just an idea but I believe Marky mark has got an f7p for sale.....?
Good luck with whatever path you choose fella!
Black 5s are the bees knees
Are you selling the wheels mate?
Yes mate, the wheels will be sold (along with other items) to fund the repairsOriginally Posted by westy94
If you have a price pm me
Nice project buddy
C1j? B18? F7p? I like the idea of track car it's were I want to be next year that's one of the reasons iv gone b18.. But as mentioned marks selling a f7p bud..
Gunna be selling some parts off both this and bajjer and see which way to go mate
Interested in the bonnet if its for sale?
Yes the bonnet is for sale, it is made from fibreglass so its very very light, but it does require some tlc/paint
Few more pics ^^^
New parts aquired
had a morning on the 5 today, weighed up my options and rather than repair the current engine, a friend of mine so happened to have a fully working lump
so a deal was done and i fitted the new engine this morn, in the cold, wet and wind
few pics
cheers Lee
Did you swap over the flywheel ? It had a lightened one on ..
Nice project and good progress
No cheers for the heads up mate
Thanks buddy
You 'tard !No cheers for the heads up mate
I told you when you bought it.
Had another morning on it over the weekend, she is up and running nowignore the boost hoses, they are just spares I had laying around.
Plan is, I'm selling my other 5, Bajjer, due to buying a house, so this will be my main 5 from now on. Black samcos planned. Already fitted my turbo technics s117 and one piece down pipe.
More to come!
Good work Lee
Which downpipe is that? Could really do with getting one myself
You 'tard !
I told you when you bought it.
Is that you without a 5 now Andy?
Some good work going on there
I'm not sure mate, I bought it off w35ty on here thoughGood work Lee

The only reason I used the red gasket sealant is because I got the downpipe cheap, the seller told me he had probs with it blowing and the only solution was this stuff. It's good for 250c! .... So far no blowing issues
The car is stored at my mates, till end of the month then I have to move it. He is selling the house and doesn't want the 5 on the pics on rightmove
But he had yest off work and kindly started stripping the interior. Next up is carpet and doorcards
Full steam a head you getting through the work well.
Are those rover 620/820 turbo recaro's?
Like the interior mate.
I was looking forward to singing bodger and bajjer at u!
Never seen door cards like that before. Are the speaker bits and door pockets one piece?
Yes. I had to move quick smart and didnt have time to fix the five.
I am still with Renault though - my megane r26 more than makes up for it .
Cheers Adam
Yep they are, unsure whether to sell them or put them in my other 5
Aye Goobie seems that way, I just presumed they were phase 1 doorcards? Maybe I'm wrong!Never seen door cards like that before. Are the speaker bits and door pockets one piece?
They are rear ph1 doorcards with another grafted onto the front.
Regarding the seats , they weight a chuffing ton. If you are tracking it , sell the complete interior and get a track focused light seat.
However , if not they are very comfy
Looking goodCheers buddy

is that 250c that's fine for sump sealant but not turbo / exhaust you need something that can withstand around 800- 1000c
Cheers Andy, I think il be using it on the road more now due to my circumstances, lots planned for this little beaut
I guessed as much James, it's all I had to hand, I just wanted to make sure the downpipe wasn't a total loss with it not sealing well for the previous owner. Will get some more hardcore stuff and a new gasket before it sees the roadLooking good

Looking good matey.. glad to hear the downpipe is ok.. I never used ted stuff though was like a brown fibre paste SPA turbo stuff.. But if that does the job

Did you really lift the engine from the rocker cover?

And I lifted the old lump out with the dizzy...Did you really lift the engine from the rocker cover?
Always makes me chuckle what the eagle eyed members spot in pictures.
They missed the fact that the AEI has been relocated behind the firewall. Shoddy knowitalls
