Turbine Love

[RichValver]

Finally got around to polishing my turbines today seeing as I had the day off and the weather was pretty sweet

The whole car needs a good clean next and is desperate for a good polish!

Love it.

One cool car

 

[RichValver]

Thank you ☺

Quite refreshing to see what looks like a standard 16V with turbines on, awesome.

She is utterly standard other than a silly exhaust, 30mm springs and polybushes ☺

I'm not actually a massive fan of turbines, but I really do love a MK1. Would swap my Cup for one any day!

Not really sure tbh, a lot go up on ebay for varied prices but you never know what they actually sell for

Great work - looks very subtle and certainly a rare sight on the roads!

How's the underneath and arches with regards to rust?

Was a bit crispy, all cut out and welded now though so is solid

FLOL! Jesus - I thought Jap metal could get eaten away - that is baaaaaaaad! Cracking work to remedy it though. :up:

 

[Christopher]

So nice! Love it.

These mk1's are dreadful for rust and Renault don't stock any repair panels for the wide arch that's why you rarely see them around I guess

 

[fez]

smart

 

[_Tom]

Wow. Love it.

 

[Coops Mk1]

lovely jubely

 

[cat171]

What a great turnaround! It's rare to see a Valver these days anyway, let alone one of the very first ones!

Turbs ftw

Thank you, makes all the time and money worth it when others can appreciate it as much as I do
