rate so yest was time to hit the bodywork. gave it a wash and it was clear my mate had a long day ahead of him. it took a full day and two big bottles of t-cut to get it reasonable. still needs a good machine polish but for now it will do. bodywork is in need of work but that will have to wait!
here is a pic, the spoiler has like a white dusty layer on it that doesnt come off unless you scrub it for agggges.... and the roof is the finishd articl
before its t cut, covered in that bodyshop layer.. was like a dusty tree sap
The end result!
great work Lee.
Looking fresh!
cheers lads
this also came today
next day off includes fittin the t25, intercooler and re-jet the carb using my afr wideband (unless our lass pokes her big snout in)

bad news for Bajjer! Sorned and off road till next yearDue to new job and saving for morgage, i need a daily and refuse to use the 5 for that purpose
That's a shame but normal life sometimes dictates what happens to our little 5'sI took mine off the road too complete a loft conversion on me house and have another kid hopefully she will be eating tarmac in a month
At least you haven't sold it
haha yep, least the boss hasnt had the " you need to sell that bloody cheese wedge/door stop looking car to buy a house/feed the kids" convo...That's a shame but normal life sometimes dictates what happens to our little 5's

Haha sorn'd for a 2 week spell!?!?and who was i kidding? Bajjer back on the road.. see you all at ND/Retro show
I love this motor- I was gonna buy this from Matt originally before my tungy off mike. Defo gotta sort a autumn meet up somewhere before the end of the summer!
Get some more pics up mate
Yeh we need a meet somewhere buddy, really glad you decided to keep your beauty!
I haven't updated this thread for some time...
Well, it now has a 2wd cossie front mount, t25 hybrid, a replacement carb (standard jetting, and boost, will be re jetting for efi rtoc rr day) I have a jonny5 twin pod 'A pillar' gauge holder to go on, a bms enlarged downpipe and side exit exhaust in the post
Using the car for work, and touch wood it's driving a1... Although it would benefit from some new top mounts.
Plans? Well over winter, it's black samco's, possibly change the wheels, full respray by next summer hopefully by a friend of mine
Trying to save for a house, run two cars, two babies and the wife is a full time mum, everything is against bajjer, but she will pull through gleaming in the end!
Here's a few pics on ND, also have a vid of it on the rollers, will try add the link later
Bloody hell Lee. You've done loads to her since we last spoke. I bet she sings like a choirboy now lol.
I've got some standard speedlines if you were gonna swap bk to standard wheels? What wheels were u thinking of?
Standard I think pal, pm sent anyways
Latest pics look great
Cheers buddy, although close up she is a little tired
Just an update of some of the parts purchased recently...
And a couple of cheeky pics! Car off for paint over winter, will be buying more parts in the process!
My new doorcards came yest off member/former member topcat (davo) top chap
Also started stripping Bajjer, having it painted, selling parts off, not sure it will be back on the road next year
built up my gaz coilovers today ready to fit over the weekend
check out my compbrake fixed top mounts
Figured I'd update my thread, not much happening.
Got sidetracked with another 5 I bought over winter, put most of bajjers parts on it and sold it to my mate.
So I'm left with a 5 that's in bits.
I have just got a house with a garage so il be updating this more now. Stripping for paint job over summer.
I have purchased refurbed doors, new genuine wings, bumpers, skirts arches etc. hopefully be gleaming like new this time next year. Here are some pics
Small adventure for BAJ today. Moved the 5 from my inlaws to my new house into it's garage! Only took since July last year to do... Anyways iv started removing parts in the engine bay ready for engine out job
May have more progress soon
Good to see this one still being kept alive
I would personally be deleting that exhaust surround on the rear bumper though!
Thanks dude
It's going in the bin matey, I have a Side exit to fit
Goodwork mate, remember seeing this at Blyton last year looking very clean
Cheers buddy
Small update, had abit more time on stripping bay for paint
Niceone, cheeky pre-summer freshen up in the bay, are you doing any meets when done?
Not this year buddy but will be out in force next yearNiceone, cheeky pre-summer freshen up in the bay, are you doing any meets when done?
I got engine crane if you need it ASAP 👍Not this year buddy but will be out in force next year
Thanks Sean! If my boss is a no go, me and Chris will pop over to yours thanks mate!
So managed to get the crane from work, engine and box ready for out... I'm missing the ilet on the front of the cylinder head to lift the lump out and I don't trust the tow rope either, so been and bought a chain, probably lift the engine out after work tomorrow, gunna lift the car up with the crane after and remove the subframe too.
Been busy collecting panels! Many thanks to my good friend johnP for the majority, new parts include new o.e front bumper, standard rear bumper, sideskirts in excellent cond. standard bonnet, early scorpion side exit, refurbed doors, off shot I have, new genuine renault front wings, 2nd hand arches in excellent cond. ermmmmm new rear lamps and indicators, so plenty to go at
Once subframe is back on it's off for paint
Engine and box are out
A bit more progress
I'd say that was A LOT more progress
The quality of the engine build looks fantastic from the outside.
Thanks trev! I am over the moon with how it's coming togetherI'd say that was A LOT more progress

About time u mug!!!
Haven't you got the dagenham dustbin forum to annoy?
P.s love you
So bit of an update to Bajjer. Sadly due to family commitments I decided to buy a finished 5. The wife agreed to this, but I had to break Bajjer to fund it, I also had to sell ALL my spares. So the majority of him was removed and sold as a rolling shell to a nice genuine guy called Geoff from Norfolk. He has mentioned he will start a new thread on here once he has joined. He has a 5 that requires a re shell. Anyways me a BAJ had a lot of good times and I was upset to see him go. I just didn't have the time or additional funds in the end to have him looking the way I wanted. Goodbye mate x
