    First time Renault 5 GT Turbo owner

    Hi guys, thought I'd post. Just bought my first ever Renault 5 GT Turbo, a 1989 model in black. I've had numerous cars over the years but always fancied a GT Turbo so took the plunge and bought one on Friday and registered here for help and advice as I plan to strip it down, clean, tidy and rebuild it. Some of you guys may know the car, or may have even owned it- its had 19 previous owners - so you never know!

    Cheers Andy

    There's a size limit. Possibly shrink your photo size first then upload.

    Seems the forum software can't shrink them automatically.

    Thanks matey, will take the body kit and bumpers off over the winter and have a good look to see just how “tidy” it is! Lots of niggling little jobs to sort but part of the appeal!
