[BluntyR5GTT]

[turbonutter69]

It's looking top notch for that age.

 

[premierrio]

[BluntyR5GTT]

numatic george wet/vac defo will come in handy going to test it out on my van interior then on my ladies car. finally will do my car when the cover comes off end of march

 

[turbonutter69]

You what pal. I've been thinking about getting one of these.
Lemme know how she handles.

 

[BluntyR5GTT]

of course matey, iv heard nothing but good things about them from current owners, iv invested in the valet pro heavy duty cleaner and one of there interior brushes.

 

[turbonutter69]

Was it expensive? If you don''t mind me asking.

 

[BluntyR5GTT]

paid £110 for it matey, did really well as they go for a bit more than that usually.

 

[turbonutter69]

That's a banging price buddy.
Jealous much. :embarrest:

 

[BluntyR5GTT]

i know i very rarely drop on and get a bargain so im very happy with this

on a side note iv re booked my car in to get the megajolt fitted and mapped on the 21st april

 

[BluntyR5GTT]

cover is finally coming off the car this friday, so the oil can be dropped, then new oil and filter plus new fuel filter.
going to give the car a wash and a quick polish n wax and take it for a good shakedown (hope weather is decent this weekend)

 

[T9 man]

Let us know what happened and the weather is looking quite nice for the weekend so far

 

[BluntyR5GTT]

well i got to finish work at dinner today so i got in, whipped the cover off the car and decided to valet the interior with the numatic george and my god i couldnt believe the amount of dirt that come outta the carpet etc.

got a couple of pics whilst i was airing the car out

 

[turbonutter69]

Love this car buddy looks awesome.

 

[BluntyR5GTT]

cheers matey appreciate the love

going get out give it a wash and top up the wax in a bit

 

[turbonutter69]

Come do mine after.

 

[BluntyR5GTT]

Come do mine after.

im actually all set up now to do machine polishing, just going to get my eye in so to speak on mine and my bros vans (practice makes perfect).

 

[BluntyR5GTT]

so then guys i had a day off work yesterday so decided to give the car a quick wash and a top up coat of the butter wet wax(pics dont do justice) i need a better camera lol.
todays plan of action is to change oil and filter plus fuel filter, fit oe headlights and alloy swirl pot then check co on fuelling and take it out for a good drive

some pics really do need a decent 10mp camera as im using the camera on my phone which dont do it justice.

random mileage pic to (full rebuild was done at 110k)

 

[BluntyR5GTT]

big updates to tell you about.

first of all my car is now officially sorn, as its now going to be getting a full restoration which is something iv wanted to do since having the car, bit gutted ill miss the shows etc this year but its certainly going to be worth it.
Iv already began to strip the car down, and have quite a few parts already these are as follows

brand new n/s o/s inner sills
brand new n/s o/s outter sills
rear bumper repair panels
new fuel pump bracket
new fuel filter bracket
full polybush set
good second hand bonnet

the above is just scratching the surface of what ill be getting for the car and ill keep this thread updated with what i get etc.

iv also decided that the car will be changing color to mg trophy blue as its a color i really like and will suit the r5gtt well, iv also been considering ford imperial blue

the front seats will be sold and hopefully replaced with a set of rs turbo recaros

 

[T9 man]

This is sounding like a delicious but serious project now! :amazed: I am following this one with great interest. Are you feeling confident in completing what sounds like a mammoth task for the 2013 show season?

 

[BluntyR5GTT]

ill be very miffed if its not ready for this time next year matey

also received new side skirt clips today

been stripping a bit more out of the car today for an hour

 

[T9 man]

So we know what your up to over the Easter weekend then!

 

[BluntyR5GTT]

lol i actually have a job on over this wkend but i reckon ill manage sneak a couple of hours in over that time

 

[BluntyR5GTT]

had a change of plan, the car is staying its original color i think its best kept that way, iv also had a fella over on rtoc contact with regards to doing both my sills and floor pan plus rear bumper sections, and hes also a painter so he will be spraying my bonnet and drivers door for me, am hoping have this done in june so i can still get a few shows in over the summer

 

[T9 man]

Good news, I personally love the original colour and think it suits the car very well

 

[BluntyR5GTT]

yeah id have to agree matey, i stood outside the other day and decided grey is to stay

 

[BluntyR5GTT]

long time since i was on here with any updates, reason being as there is nothing to really update on, the work is going to be carried out in the new year.

also on a side note iv been in contact with mtech automotive who are going be using my car as a test mule for there nodiz ignition system, this also means that ill get the system for free

really miss the car and cant wait be fighting it again next year

 

[T9 man]

Long time no hear from, I remember you! who are you again?

Marvellous stuff, I wish you the best luck of as the latest guinea pig for the new ignition system. Don't forget to give us your feedback as to its performance

 

[BluntyR5GTT]

hi mate how are you doing? hope your well, im actually about to try and catch up with some of your progress threads.

will defo report back with all results/graphs etc, oh iv also left the renault turbo owners club to concentrate on my r5 gt turbo owners group that already has 315 members and is growing each day, 2013 will be the official launch of the group with many events being attended as well as track days and dyno days etc

 

[T9 man]

[BluntyR5GTT]

[BluntyR5GTT]
