Default My renault 5 gt turbo project

This is my red renault 5 GTT turbo that i brought 2 years ago, All the engine work and bits and bobs have been done in my garage. Not gone into the bodywork to deep yet. Just been consentrating on the engine mainly and just keeping it tidy until i can afford full respray!
Heres some pics

Above is how it looked when i brought it.

Then i stripped the kits and doors to check for rust and change the fu*ked door pins.

Once the rusty hole was welded up the doors and kit went back on and the whole car was buffed up (Was really dull!)

I got a bonnet with louvres and bad boyed in my colour (which was really lucky!!!

The engine already had some samcos and some shiny bits but looked a bit rough so i set about cleanin it up for the time, Heres a before and after clean!

Well the scuttle covers we're in the boot of the car when i brought it but i'm sure there not one off's i think a tuner does them! Try K-tec, bbperformance tuning, or try cbg motorsport he has so much chrome stuff and also carbon i think!

The grill i sold last week for £55 but there £69 from carisma, look ok but don't fit great along the bottom edge!

Yer digit the horns sound to sh*t lol

Glad you like
