Everyday White 5 Gt Turbo

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Well yesterday afternoon i picked up a H reg 5 Gt Turbo, the last owner had owned it for over 10 years, but had no more time/space for it.

Its a nice car, a few bits need work & a few things are needed to get it going...

So i am in need of

Turbo
Intercooler
Front Seats
Front Brake Disc's
Set of Speedline + Tyres
A Few boost hose's etc
May need new front & maybe rear suspension
A Good conditon & preferably white GTT front Bumper (standard only)
Drivers Front door - No dents & with locks - Preferably white

I am sure there is more that is needed, i will have to look into my spares and see what i can do.

Oh does anybody know where you can buy the jack points on there own? As from renault there part of the sill....

Pics will follow as the progress starts.

Have an intercooler, full alloy type that fits in the standard position is this what your looking for?

[Ricardo]

Thanks Michael, TBH the sills look pretty good nick, just the driver's jacking point has a f*cking huge hole in, Bill said it went through the last 3 mot's like it to!

I know when i get round to it i will find more on the car to, but the first job is a f*cking huge clean, its green atm, covered in moss and will take a while to clean.

Oh does anybody know how to remove the strips of grey sh*t around the roof??

Cheers Ricky, i am sure i will call on you & the boys over the winter for a bash on the car/

Start at the back near the hatch & PULL!

[price82]

[Bigfoot]

why get rid of them ?

He wants to remove them to give it a good clean out as its easier with them removed

[price82]

ha ha ha

.....but the first job is a f*cking huge clean, its green atm, covered in moss and will take a while to clean.

Pah, it's a protective layer, as I said to you

Here's proof:

Yep, it's the same car

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

You havent seen the moss underneath them..... I will have to remove do every panel on the car... Any bit of surface metal will need doing... even the cross member.

Engine & gearbox could do with coming out so i can give the engine bay a damn good clean.... I will try cleaning the car up & decide then if i want to respray this year or not...

As I said to you mate, it was a very clean car (excluding the drivers door, which has always been crap). I just let it slide "a bit" since I stopped using it . I've got loads of pics of the car on my pc, taken over the last six or so years.

I am just sorting out a new door now... Fingers crossed the colour will match
Just need a standard white front bumper to sort the body work out.

It's about time it got some care and attention again

Good man

As for the Evo, it's a bit loud

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Well today i was at my parents recovering, got abit bored & the doctor said i needed to keep my back moving but take things gentle...

So i decided to give Ghost a clean... Only used warm water and & soap, got most of the dirt/moss of the car eventually, does have a few heavy oil/grease marks on the wings & bonnet... lets hope some polish will lift that of.

I have pictures to upload, just waiting for them to load on photobucket, but lets just say i am pleased with the car & i owe a massive thank you to Bill for letting his beloved car of 10 years go.

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

How it looked at the start












When my back is better i need to fit this...


& sort the front end out.

[gtmatt]

well that has been stod for a while , i fought bill would of had it covered up

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Think bill call's "natural protective cover"

[The new Bill J]

Woah! That looks strange, seeing someone else posting pics of "my" car

It's good to see her looking clean again, and it's good to see that she's still in pretty good nick under that "protective layer"

[Spooky]

Bill would never clean it unless he was gunna drive it himself the lazy cow

Chris, that looks clean, Ive seen Billys car in the flesh loadsa times and it defo cleans up very well like his pictures just before show

It'll need a few more washes before you can even think about waxing the bitch

[The new Bill J]

Bill would never clean it unless he was gunna drive it himself the lazy cow

Oi, knob. I kept that thing minty clean for 7 or 8 years

It'll need the paint cleaning before waxing. Just the way I used to do it

One of the plus things about owning a 5 over the Evo is the size. The Evo's about three times bigger, and it takes forever to clean

[Big Steve - Raider]

FFS Bill that car was a REET mess!!

Looked like it had been sitting in Ewok's Endor Forest for 10 years!

Fair play to you for getting it look so good Penfold with a bucket of suds & a poorly back!!

[The new Bill J]

Pah, the mould did a pretty good job of protecting it by the looks of it, so

No really, it is pretty bad how I let it go. Sorry

[Spooky]

Again, lazy springs to mind

[The new Bill J]

Erm, you mean forgetful

No wonder our mail service is ****e

[The new Bill J]

No wonder our mail service is ****e

Yep, that's all my fault

Have a look here for the intercooler, standard size ect apart from not having a plastic cap but you would not see that if you have the standard air box piece above.

Bumper blocks i might be able to do these as well.

[The new Bill J]

I hope you're not going to run the standard turbo on that engine for long? It doesn't work very well
