Pics? My next job.... Its in a state of undress at the minute with the wings off and the seating out, probably remove the front subframe and motor to get it properly sealed and painted too.
Pictures. Take pictures of everything you're doing. We're incurable voyeurs here!
We need pictures, we're sad gits who only ever leave their computers to rebuild a broken renault

Ok, Here goes....
First job was to strip and find the rot. Have already welded the inner front wings, next stage is to drop the engine and subframe out to fit new springs and poly bushes.
At the same time I can get the engine bay painted, gonna do the complete car in a rich burgundy red metallic. Not keen on the Ktec bodykit tho' anyone got a standard front end they wanna swap?
Hopefully I'll get some time on her this weekend or some evenings next week
Tried and tried but can't get pics to upload.... Tried jpeg, pdf, doc and they all return a fail I'll try from home tonight again and see if that helps.
Wow a local lad to, get some pictures up. Like the muppet and banana man said, we are all r5 sados
Ha, just realised 2000 posts
Welcome
Glad to see another one is being given a new lease of life well done. If you need any new parts please ask.
Thanks

Its a long hard slog, believe me. Credit to anyone who does a proper restoration imo.
Whats the plans for the car, i hope its staying white? C1j or something else?
Loads of helpful chaps on here, you are in the right place.
Be strong

Yeah, expecting to be in it for the long haul, trust me .
White would be nice but hard to keep looking it's best, thought of one of the original reds since the carpet is a nice jack the ripper blood stained red
Its a strong runner though, hopefully it won't be too much hassle.
Welcome to the club matey
