1987 Renault 5

Roof rack off for a while, looks small even next to car that already is small

De-wipered today



New wheels eventually. Have to sell my banded steels first

Still experiencing the fun of having an old french car.



Fixed at the roadside and driven home which is good!

I like it more with the rack! Looks like a fun ass build!

I think I do as well. It functions really well but also looks nice when there's a lot of stuff on there. I'm going to give it a bit of a make-over soon though. Repaint bars, revarnish wood, etc etc.
Thanks

After yesterday's breakdown, I got it home with the repaired hose. Today I took the hose from my old r5 and used that since it's fine. No thermostat at the moment, I'll put a new one in though. Ordered a fan switch too since the fan doesn't work. Pretty happy because aside from the burst hose there appears to be no damage.

Needed a good clean too





After a quick clean..



All good

[jaake]

Everything is all sorted out and running good. Plans are to get it lowered a bit more at the front and rear, and also swap my banded steels for something else.

A very dark Tuesday morning..



Temperature gauge should arrive tomorrow. Replacing the fan switch will keep it cool but with the temperature gauge I'll be able to keep an eye on it. It needs one because the only gauge on this car is the speedo haha.

Gave her a bath today




Test-fitting more wheels on Saturday, watch this space.

I don't really dig french cars... but I do dig oldskool! I like the cleanliness of this build, it's a bit similar to my oldskool build. Debadge, dewiper, bumpers black.

Needs some really kick ass wheels!

[jaake]

Thanks yeah, will try the wheels on tomorrow if UK weather holds up haha

Thanks a lot!

Good news, bought some new wheels in the exact size I've been looking for. 13x6 front, 13x7 rear. Should fit much better than 14x8.5 and 14x9.5

[jaake]

tried the silver and black steels in the meantime..
