jamie's r5 ph 1 build
Well i picked up my first 5 at the weekend got a lot of plans for it this is how it stands il get some more pics up soon. It didnt come with any reciepts but from what i can see it has:
lowering springs
full stainless exhaust
oz volcano alloys
subaru front seats
rgm bonnet
various samco hoses in the engine bay
boost gauge mounted on dash
plans are firstly full serivce, full respray, get the interior back to standard get origninal pase 1 bumpers arches grille etc and maybe coilovers then concentrate on the engine. Got a few sets of wheels to choose from in my garage some 13x8 alleycats clio turbine and r19 turbines but i dont really want any of them for the 5 im on the look out for another set hopefully i can find them
here it is the day i picked it up

Looks good mate, if side skirts arent attached that securely it could be that the clips that hold them on have rusted, these are still available but skirts would have to come off to fit them so can give the sills a once over/waxoil underseal whilst you're there

I'm sure one of my old mates used to own this car! I remember the bonnet.. I put the engine in it and got it running about 8-9 yrs ago..
Good luck with the restro mate..

Re: jamie's r5 ph 1 build
had a proper look at the engine today and also trial fitted the phase 2 alloys just to see what they looked like and fitted some standard front indicators. They were apparently in excellent condition but came with a hole in the front with tape over it not impressed ;(

Re: jamie's r5 ph 1 build
just a quick up date i picked up the new wheels for the 5 and also decided to take the kit of as im returning it to its priginal black and amazingly found no rot at all a bit of surface rust and thats about it so i was very pleased. So it will get a good coating of underseal before the kit goes back on after its painted, any suggestions what people have used to get the orginal look back on the bumpers etc. i also fitted a standard bonnet and painted it matt black just for the time being.
