That's some 80s futuristic styling right there on the Renault.

Gotta get those black trim strips back to black man.
We have had many discussions as to what is the best way to do that. Personally heat gun works best. Others will say otherwise..

Where did you get the 5 from? Did you import it or someone else?

[Mystic storm]

Yeah was thinking about that with the trims don't like colour coded at all and I do want arch trims too...

The Renault 5 gt turbo was a personal import by previous owner and one of a handful in Australia

Running just shy of 200bhp (just had rebuild) with full leather interior and engine bay like new with virtually chrome everything

Decided to give the engine bay a quick detail still loads to do but its getting there!!

[stefcio007]

I remember when I cleaned out my engine bay for the first time. So much dirt probably got some good weight reduction, lol.

[Mystic storm]

Yeah wasn't too bad, although doubt its been cleaned since new I just wiped all the hoses down and inner wings, rest was pretty clean

Got my colour wrong its actually...

Well what a day today went out for a spin (well to get oil and service pack) got there all good coming back another story...!!

Low level oil warning lamp and buzzer came on pulled over checked and was on minimum oil, Luckily I had oil in the boot sorted that out and then literally 20 secs later car started to mis-fire was only 2 minutes away from home at this point got it into the garage and got under the hood to only find that the coilpack had cracked and lost a ht lead

Now need coilpack and deffo need to do the rocker cover gasket leak!! suppose will have to take part of inlet manifold off so will need a gasket for that too the joys of older cars!!

[Mystic storm]

Coil pack fitted full service done purrs like a kitten now
