    Re: Everyday White 5 Gt Turbo

    Well Ricardo popped down on saturday and spent the day here just chatting....

    Also dropped of the orange wheels which will save the standard wheels & tyres from day to day abuse as there just going to be for show.

    Also Ricardo managed to part with this mint genuine towing eye cover, so i am a happy bunny....

    Everything is nearly there, somebody must have a standard front bumper for sale, or willing to part with these front bumper strips??

    Lol you know i wouldnt do that to your rear shelf buddy.

    Yeh money is been spent wisely on the car & over a period of time.

    Still need to sort a pair of doors although DaveSBS has a mint set if i can get the car upto him to get resprayed.

    Re: Everyday White 5 Gt Turbo

    Well Ghost is back at home, needs another good clean, strip the interior, take body kit off,look for rust and treat as needed, maybe remove the engine, get the car to a bodyshop with new bonnet, bumper, grill & sort out the rust on the door, respray the whole car, I will then refit body kit, put interior back in, sort the engine bay out(replace hose's, put anti perc fan back etc, put engine back in, underseal the car, mot, tax & insure...

    Deadline 2012?? I hope to get it all done by this summer, maybe for ND but unlikely.

    Yesterday I spent a few hours cleaning some old wheels & resprayed them in alloy silver, looks alot better in the flesh.



    Have brought a few more things from renault such as grill badge, plastics for the engine bay etc... Need to sort out a drivers seat (just the material but full seat maybe easier to get)

    Re: Everyday White 5 Gt Turbo

    Got Ghost home this week and looks like the winter rest hasnt done the old girl well

    Still no rush to get the car done & that wont happen til I get a job

    But I am doing the little jobs that dont require cash and something to pass the time..

    Rust pics..

    Pulled a tree's worth of leave's from here...

    Rotten door, anyone got a spare white door in good condition?


    abit of rust appearing in the rear quarter window panel

    Luckily I have brand new bonnet, wing's, bumper, grill's, bumper strips & badge for the front


    I get the feeling new sills maybe required...

    Re: Everyday White 5 Gt Turbo

    Started on the interior today,
    Removed all seats, seat belts and centre consol etc...

    Removed the carpet, the sound deadening underneath is mouldy and very damp ( got a leak somewhere odds are around the heater matrix)

    As for the red carpet, its heavily stained and greasy
    After a quick hoover



    A very quick wash later...


    Abit more elbow grease over the week and try some more chemicals and hopefully will look alot better

    Well after another clean yesterday the carpet looked like this..

    Still heavily stain, so today of to tesco with the carpet in the boot, jetwashed it, took it back home and used the carpet cleaner on it again (3 times now) and look at the crap that has came out of it after all these wash's still



    Now looks alot cleaner, still some markings, but considering the carpet is orginal and bill has transport engines & various parts for people its not come out to bad...

    Dont be fooled by the clean looks of the car, there is rust, alot of rust to sort out, but nothing no repairable, even if I weld in a new floor pan its do-able... & a full respray, if your going to do it, do it once and do it right!!

    I am just doing the cheap, oddss & sods jobs whilst I have no job, once I have a job the car will go of to the body shop...
