the reanult 5 gt turbo heap of rust project...

[Alex J]

after breaking the sport, and being bored, i set of around a pals house who i sold this to many moons ago, back in the day eight grand was spent by myself doing this up to how it was..
i sold it to a mate for £4k, and it looked like it had been sat in the atlantic with the titanic, rotted out worse than an uno turbo lol, but still, it had a sentimental value, and to me was worth saving
i handed over £1300 in total because alot of work needed doing, and got my mate to drop it round..

once parked up in the garage, had a good strip down, and went shopping at machine mart, and brought a clarke 135te mig welder, and mask

http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x361/alex_merris/DSCF0898.jpg

500 cutting discs, 10 tubes of sticker flex, under sill, and some crap colour match hammerite blue paint, and set to work

http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x361/alex_merris/DSCF0900.jpg

http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x361/alex_merris/DSCF0891.jpg

http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x361/alex_merris/DSCF0897.jpg

my welding skills are not the best in the world, but none of what ive done is seen and is covered up by the kit, so nothing a bit of old sticker flex cant hide, then tar it up, hey presto..

[Edd]

How long before it blows oil out of all the breathers/turbo seals go/head gasket fail ? lol

And wtf is the m25 ' ring' sticker doing one the boot ffs lol

[Alex J]

next job was get on the blower to black circle tyres, and ordered some new dunlop sp sports..

http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x361/alex_merris/DSCF0904.jpg

a full service was needed, tracing the oil leak back to having a sump plug fitted with no copper washer lol

http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x361/alex_merris/DSCF0896.jpg

and then going to start to refurbish up the compomotive rims up...

http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x361/alex_merris/DSCF0901.jpg

the engine is as mint as when it was built bu BB perfomance tuning, and was all new about 5 years ago, so a good service is all it needs, and a polish up!

http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x361/alex_merris/DSCF0902.jpg

this is my favorite bodge, sticker flex the body kit back on, best stuff ever invented lol..

http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x361/alex_merris/DSCF0903.jpg

going to crack on with the other side sill next week, and give the cream leather a good valet, need to sorce a drivers rear arch and petrol flap as i got the hump and ripped it of with raged because as normal with a renault, everything rots on, and snaps of, bit like a vauxhall really lol

[Alex J]

How long before it blows oil out of all the breathers/turbo seals go/head gasket fail ? lol

And wtf is the m25 ' ring' sticker doing one the boot ffs lol

i had a few stickers back in the day, mostly on the work van, and the turbo should be ok as its a t28 roller bearing , and its got a group A headgasket set and bolts built in with the rest of the engine build, i still have the slip from santa pod were it ran a 13.1 quarter on cheap korean tyres!

[pie]

looking good mr merris :thumb:

love the cutting discs spacing the skirts lol

[Alex J]

looking good mr merris :thumb:

love the cutting discs spacing the skirts lolyou got to love a bodge, just gone out to check it dried over night and its set MINT lol

[John]

Burn it!

[Spudly]

Subscribed:thumb:

[mk1nova_rich]

Looking good mate, fair play for having a crack at welding yourself :thumb: that engine bay looks well cramped lol

[Alex J]

Burn it!almost have with the welder a few times, one thing i have learned is how easy it is to burn a hole threw paper thin renault metal lol

[Alex J]

Looking good mate, fair play for having a crack at welding yourself :thumb: that engine bay looks well cramped lolits very tight, but i can removed the head , or have the whole engine and box out within a few hours as ive had to do it over the years so many times lol

[SimonTW]

Always had a soft spot for the R5. Wheels have got to be worth nearly what you paid for it I reckon!

[turbojolt]

You absolute legend!!!! r5gtt are Ubar cool, I take it the welding didn't affect you then ,class project I will be keeping a eye on this

[Alex J]

Always had a soft spot for the R5. Wheels have got to be worth nearly what you paid for it I reckon!they are the right offset and drilled for the car, i drove up to Primea Racing up north to get them at the time i first had the car, they came of one of there tarmac spec renault 5 cup cars, i paid £350 for the set about 6 years ago, a fair price i thought


I take it the welding didn't affect you then

it hasnt yet lol, i have worn the mask even just to do any tacks, just to be on the safe side

[Spudly]

Need some back in one piece, out of the garage pics, NOW bitch :p

[Edd]

Is it a Raider ? Colour looks like it might be

Them wheels are very nice, I buy them off you when you break it/smash it to bits :d

[Nova_Tek]

I should neg rep you coz it's French but you are putting in some hard graft with all that rust so that neutralises it lol

:thumb:

[brainsnova]

Your spending your massive sport profit well lol looks like your keeping this one

[calibra-keith]

loving the compomotive wheels :thumb:

[Andy]

Love it Alex,but then you know that already!
Top work mate! +rep if i can!
Are you taking it to FCS?? I'll be going with my garlic wagon also so we could meet up and compare shoddy wiring and how many burgers we can put away etc lol

[Benn]

Love the rims. But 1.4 and it needed that welding? Seems crazy to spend that much... Good man at doing it your self.

[Andy]

You may think its crazy,but in 10 years time that will be worth more than any nova

[Benn]

Yeah? They really holding their value? (haven't seen one for sale in a while)

[Spudly]

Edd yes its a Raider, think personally the wheels should be body coloured as per factory (i think) spec and would look a million times better imo:thumb:

[brainsnova]

It's funny how a r5 campus looks utter crap compared to the gt turbo

[ECO16V]

Awesome project mate, a friend of mine had 3 of those over the years, 1 was a wide arch Dimma model, properly quick cars for what they were.

[Andy]

Yeah? They really holding their value? (haven't seen one for sale in a while)

Good ones most certainly are.
And as good ones get rarer,the prices are getting higher...

[Alex J]

a good gtt goes for well over 5 grand, ive seen two go for over 7k in the last few months:eek:, im going to try and keep this as its as rare as a sport, and once its on the road should only owe me including buying the welder about £2200 max, so if i did sell it, a large profit again could be hadlol
andy, i maybe going on hoilday at the time of the french car show, but if i do go, im up for the burger eating challange all daylol, this renault is the only one i ever owned that dosnt have any orange lawn mower wire hard wired into it lollollollol
and spud, i cant get it out the garage yet as its in a million pieces and on axel stands, im burnt to bits, and have fabricated inner and outer sills, floor pan, a curved inner boot splash gaurd, rear panel, bumper mounts the lot, even had to go hospital to have a piece of rot removed from my eye with a neddle, ****ing killed lol

[pie]

so its a propper raider mr merris ?

[Alex J]

so its a propper raider mr merris ?its a real raider, says it on the logbook, bit like a sport really, nothing special over any other model, minus it has black carpet, a raider sticker in the back window, and little blue stickers on the doors with blue centre wheels , still the same power etc!

[pie]

my mate has a rotter lol with a head gone lol aint moved in 2 years f lol

[Edd]

Raider had different colour seat cloth, but by the looks of it someone dumped some crap cream leather in there lol

[autoworksnovasport]

alot of people think it looks nice but i think all the pipework looks messy on these

nice car though

[Connor]

Love this! Loving those wheels also, this is deffo a keeper :thumb:

[Alex J]

Raider had different colour seat cloth, but by the looks of it someone dumped some crap cream leather in there lolbetter than a **** sport interior lol

[Andy]

better than a **** sport interior lol

indeed,a sport interior looks like a pensioners picnic blanket

[Alex J]

well after draining the old fuel out, fitting the new turbo, filling two jerry cans with super, at almost a tenner a can, fuels a ****ing rip off, it started, and moves under its own steam, only thing s left to do is have a scratch done on the drivers door, and have a new cat 1 alarm and imob fitted..

[autoworksnovasport]

so when are you breaking it???

[Alex J]

looks awesome mate well done,hope you have put the other bolt in the turbo though mateall the bolts are in dude, if your looking at the manifold they have two either side, with the bottom ones really easy to get to lol


so when are you breaking it???

i wouldnt need to break it if i was going to sell it to make profit unlike a nova, they only sell in parts to ever make a profit.

[davidfox280585]

makes sense now mate,thats a bit of a crap idea isnt it,
anyway looks awesome mate well done youve done a top job now hopefully you will get your license back,

on another note,
my wife had the same and she spoke to dvla and they told her she could drive once the 1 year fit free was up,shes been waiting 18 month and just told her so shes fuming when she could have drove,worth trying again mate as shes out driving again now

[Alex J]

i knew it was a year, and my year is up on the 22nd of may, you also can apply two months in advance of the year, i left it untill last week to apply as to not jinx it, plus at the price of fuel and still not working im in no rush lol,and lastly ive booked a week away when its due back. although i have got a job to go back to once , or if i get it back, fingers crossed, may have to take a dvla medical, but im cool with that. i love riding my push bike more than anything these days! never in a traffic jam lol

[M Sutton]

Like that lots! Nice to see a good example of an R5 GTT as there getting rarer and rarer these days ;)

[novadave24]

[Count Vaux Alot]

How about gold? lol

[MrVauxMad94]

[SimonTW]

Welding looks really neat. Some of the neatest I have seen for sure!

[Alex J]

How about gold? loli fancy a change lol, and these things only happen when im bored lol


Welding looks really neat. Some of the neatest I have seen for sure! cheers, ive never welded before i started this car, seems ok ish for a beginner, but i dont think ill be welding up boeing aircraft just yet lol

[Alex J]

and couldnt find any centre caps for the wheels are they are drilled straight threw from the hub, and found these audi s4 ones for 7 quid delivered, better than nothing i guess..

im going to keep it for a while now as selling it isnt worth the hassle even though its up to £3600 on ebay, id rather let it rot in the garage for a bit...
