I thought if i took their shells off it would make them more aerodynamic....turns out it just makes them more sluggish.

Renault 5 GT Turbo / Skills we have....

« on: 23:32, Thu 19 May 2011 »

I was thinking. there are a few people on here that are handy with engines and body work. Wondered if we should have a Topic where people post what they would be up for working on....obviously not for free. Just thought that anyone who has done an engine transplant or two and is pretty familiar might be willing to help someone else out at cost. would be a good way to circulate the wealth among the forum rather than taking it to a garage to be charged 75quid an hour or 120 quid a panel. Ya get me? or has this already been done and im missing something? Just thought it would be a good way of us getting to know each others faces and getting a bit of a rep for all our hard work.

What we reckon?

peace out.

thanks ill take a look, i have about 6=8 weeks before i will be buying so im just scoping r5's atm, once it comes nearer the time ill go look at some. shame as well theres one not far from me, all it needs is side skirts and rear seats putting back in/on. last time i looked it was £500 apparently had a rebuild not so long ago.

(that one finished, forgot to stick it on the watch list,)

but something along the lines of this, needs work but not to much,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1989-RENAULT-5-GT ... 546wt_1139

Im pretty much in the same boat as you mate. looking at returning to the R5 scene...but I'm even poorer than you! haha. im looking at starting a project from a scrapper. i've got a bit longer and a garage to store it in.

I've been looking at the exact same cars as you on ebay but not having much luck with the 400 quid mark either.

Just thought I'd give you a welcome back and a shout of ''GOOD LUCK!''
