Again I've had a bit of a holiday and havent posted on here in a long time. Some of you might remember me as 5hitbox. I had a 1988 'pearl white' Renault 5 GT turbo. I sold it on when the fuel pump and relay went. In wake of it I was left with an outstanding insurance policy that would cost me more to cancel than continue. so I got this... standard when I got it.... but not for long...      B3 passat haynes headlining....   It got me to work and back over the summer... managed to get pulled twice in 2 hours...  both times the coppers just wanted to know why the car (registered in Norwich) was in Chelmsford (Essex) The old horse came to Edition 38 and then I scrapped it at the end of the summer when steel was still high as the throttle cable snapped. Driving it around by accelerating via pulling on a piece of amp power cable routed through the window from the bonnet spelled the end really. Did a 6 month car-less stint then got this in Jan 2009. I have my plans for it but for now this is how it looks.   |

Glad you all like the photos, In a nut-shell the idea with the 5 is to do some mild smoothing, (door locks, rear wiper, aerial, side repeaters) and a few 5 turbo interior parts, seats maybe, clocks maybe. and eventually C1J power. If I can pissin' well find one I might give this a crack... been an idea Ive had for a while.... early extra van grille...  -note- use imagination to replace numberplate for 'subtle' intercooler.... wings are going to need modifying but if it looks naff it can always go back to stock. |

I see a swap coming on....  Not sure of his username, but if I find it, I'll post you a linky. Sweet looking ride BTW - loving the merc caps. |

Ive seen that on RTOC, awesome van,
what a sleeper....
nearly brought one a lad in Great Yarmouth had for sale once, late front, Gt dash and seats etc.
he sold it before I could go have a look... and then I picked up my old '88 pearl white GT.
I'm gonna go on an easter scrapyard scout for an extra + some interior things I need.
.........with a camera for those rare tucked up finds.
Cheers though...

Sweet 5. You should take off the dealer-spec special edition stickers, though. Love it on the Benzo trims, though  |
