R11 Turbo

Ok...here is my project.

R11 turbo. I bought it an year and the half ago.

At first it was in horrible condition, but it worked.

There was rust all all over the place. Exhaust pipe was only memory (there was more rust than metal). Exhaust manifold was broken, cranckshaft bearing were in bad shape etc... car was in awful condition.

Then...we started to make some modifications.

We sanded and resprayed car (first respraying was not succesfull (painter was poor) and he almost ruined whole car and I resprayed car by myself and it is pretty good actually).

I bought new front seat and friend of mine made new back seats .

There are white/cream leather in roof...also door panels are now new (black leather and cream/white leather).

After that I cleaned engine and I rebuilded it (new seals, new valves, new camshaft (285), new springs, bearings, spark plugs etc...).

 

[Theros]

I also fitted Renault Twingo's cylinderhead (max size valves) which is same to R11 turbo's cylinderhead. There have to be used thicker headgasket because of compression .
