PROJECT 5GTT

[Dancliovalver]

OK me and gav have decided to build a project car, we both are pretty much novices's when it comes to fittings engines and so forth so this may be a learning curve for us

a friend was selling his old Renault 5 GTT rolling chassis, its not in the best condition to be fair but thats the whole point......its a project :D

bought this one for £50, its not as bad as it looks, everything but the engine is in the back of the car, we are gonna tray and do the body work and most of the engine work by ourselfs via the haynes manual, gavs Dad and hopefully some hope from you guys

So here she is at the start of its new life!!! :D

keep the pics posted up lads,
got any ideas what your doin yet?

good luck

[Coops]

yeah lads, keep the photo diary going, be interesting to see how this one progresses.......wish my dad had a business unit near me in sheffield!

[Dancliovalver]

well ive already started a foto diary, im gonna write a jurnal of everything we do along with pics!!!

we are debating on wether to make it totally original and standard or strip it out and make an awsome track and pod slag!!!

obviously its not gonna be a road car so if we fook up it aint gonna mater, we will just welf it up and start again :D

we're gonna have a standard GTT engine so we can learn from that then we may go for he 1.7 volvo turbo engine or F7R!!

[craig100]

sounds like a plan mate,
i say track slag lol

[Dancliovalver]

lol definatly will be alot more fun, i suppose we could track it for a while, then restore it, sell it then buy something else............sorted!!

[Coops]

turbo 2 next! get the rear wheel drive chassis and slap summit stupid in like flans engine, but think bigger! :twisted: :twisted:

Midge is on here isnt he?
http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=137269 thats the cheap engine :wink:

[Dancliovalver]

thats definatlyu cheap that but would it be a straight forward engine conversion, and i think we have both set our hopes on a turbo but it is definatly a possiblity as its so cheap

[arj256]

This should be interesting...as mentioned...keep us posted. Are you gonna re-spray it too? 8)

[Dancliovalver]

Update guys

finally managed to get it to gavs dads workshop today, first things first we gotta un sieze the rear brakes and reset the torsion bar higher so its easier to move around and work on!!

gav's already started on the engine its gonna be sweet will be the same spec as mine if not better when sorted, hes doin a great job on it!!

meanwhile i think ill start to sand everything down and see what is needed in terms of body work, we're gonna do some fotoshops together and see what we think, can u guys recommend any colours??

Yeah white is quite sexy. I do love white cars.

Though about being different and dropping in a F7R lump?
