Another R5 Ph1 Gt turbo project, bought off eBay last autumn and what can be described as a mess!
Bought car for £1200 on the thinking parts alone made the value. Came stripped out, two newish FIA standard bucket seats, perspec windows all round, full GAZ ph1 suspension, Clio 182 cup wheels with New tyres. Car has b18ft engine fitted but quite a mess. Car had 9 months mot and ran of sorts.
Collection day was fun, due to a flat battery I took my own. Fitted it to find alternator had blown, taxed car at local post office anđ with the help of Paul Woodward commenced a dash to his house a 40 mile drive. Got there eventually with over heating and coolant blowing out off header tank lol. Car ran well at only8 volts, battery was dead at arrival.
Car was then stood for a few months at Paul whilst we worked on his car engine conversion. New alternator fitted and cooling system sorted. Had to wire radiatorfan up as nothing worked on present wiring.
Finally got the car back to mine without a hitch, plan is to rewire the whole car, refit an interior and refit a ph1 body kit.
