Painted my wheels and fender

Put my roof rack back on, and my rear seats back in.

I love this
EXACTLY my style
Fun, cheap and rough!
Keep up the steller work!

Thank you! You're spot on

Currently..


Engine swap coming soon hopefully..

[jaake]

rack off

[jaake]

They're fairly easy to find over here, and I'm sure I'll get one eventually
As for this, I've seen a lot of cool engine swaps done on them so that's something I wanna do in the near future hopefully.. (a full mid engine rwd swap like the Turbo 2 would be awesome but an absolute nightmare to do)

good luck in finding one that hasn't been wrapped around a tree

back in the day i used to know a guy who put an mi16 engine in it from his 405 lol

mm

has potential, but not liking the oil cooler, and the rusted fender

Thanks, not gunna go down the gt turbo route either since I would rather just buy one instead of making it look like one but I definitely prefer them over the normal ones (who wouldn't though really)

I'm pretty sure I'm gunna get all the rust off and then maybe even repaint it

Stop messing around and recreate the Renault 5 Turbo 2 look.]

But where's the fun in that?? ..
Anyway, this is the second generation ('85-'96), and the Turbo 2 was made from the first generation body ('72-'85), not to mention that the Turbo 2 is mid-engined and rwd
Obviously the Turbo 2 is worlds ahead but they're so much rarer and more expensive
This car is nothing serious at all it's just a bit of fun

As it currently sits (in the typical UK rain) with the oil cooler refitted



Might take the rack off for a while and clear the indicators.. opinions?
