[mark90]

just thought I would show everyone my reno 5 what I got yesterday she is in poor state and looks like its not been cleaned since the 1990's lol here are the pictures on it from yesterday I will get some more tomorrow when I have finished polishing it

 

[MicKPM]

Now drop in a 2.0 8v from a Mk1 Laguna and a set of Carbs.... then "bwaaaaaarp"

Look forward to seeing it brought back to life.

I thought Reno was the poor man's Vegas?

 

[mark90]

I wouldn't know where to start with engine conversions . I will probs be keeping it as is maybe some Renault alloys put on but all in for a £150 car am not complaining

 

[yeecup]

[yeecup]

Fair enough

 

[DaveDreads]

Other than cleaning it have you got any plans, different alloys, lower the ride height?

will be putting the 5 spoke Renault wheels on it 2 moz with lowering it I am in 2 minds I might put some coilovers on as I don't wana lower it too much

 

[Ricardos]

Stick some lowering springs up front and tweak the rear torsion bar at the rear, cracking little cars. I had 2 Renault 5 1.4 Campus models in between owning the R5 GT Turbos and they just ran and ran with little or no bother.

 

[mark90]

there we go what she will look like when I get all the wheels on ahaha

[DaveDreads]

What happened to restoring a car you've always wanted?

You did good! Why would somone swap a car worth not alot (no offence lol) for a tidy looking 4x4, and not want any extra cash?

Farmers pay good money for them fourtraks.
