Just spent a good half hour flicking through this, fookin epic…Love the work ethic, picking it apart and piecing together, all hand made panels. People don’t realise whats going on under their feet until Mr MOT tester knocks a hole through, lots of peoples open wallets are mesmerised by shiny things, but mention 2..3…5K… on a cars structure and it snaps shut…it’s fooked …weigh it in. Makes my Campus refresh look like a stroll in the park. ---

Currently the plan is not to replace it. The seating area is covered with trim so I don’t plan to paint the inside but although the boot has carpet, access to the spare wheel would show the body so I plan to paint it. With that the wheel well is cleaned up and masked off ![20190209_200128.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/3/e/3efcf03d2915dc705248e9bf6c85bc11c9a01f52.webp) And gravitex applied to make it more durable where the wheel may rub ![20190212_200020.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/8/4/84fc188594bc1bbf038c7ae14b30a92af6beb882.webp) More to follow, these updates take a while to do! ---

Thanks. Not really, I think that’s all the welding done so another week of tweaking should see the main shell in paint. Although a couple of weeks before I can get on it again. ---

Holy thread resurection Batman! After a 7.5 year hiatus on the thread, and probably about the same on work, the car has been sat up as time & money & motivation weren’t all aligned. It’s moved from Haz’s garage to his (epic) workshop and now it’s time to do the final push. Haz moved the car into his paint booth and brought the majority of the parts together for the first time in a good few years. We then spent a weekend turning a mishmash of parts into something that is starting to look vaguely like something that belongs on a car whilst I spent the time cleaning up the 35 year old interior plastics - all the time discussing what bits we thought should go where. Hopefully this will be the start of the final sets of updates as the car comes together. ![IMG_20260920_154114085_HDR](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/0/5/058110f651dc3ef39d943ca3599ad5796963dce0.jpeg) ![IMG_20260920_152928318_HDR](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/c/7/c7c7c547144677241b7640f3286dce93c19bea23.jpeg) ![IMG_20260919_185251720_HDR](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/f/f/ff0c5a3e0eaf2f2fa75b1b84e1decadf22232e71.jpeg) ![IMG_20260919_185238159_HDR](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/d/4/d407cc62224fce4f959dc735efd41d1e4fa604cc.jpeg) ![IMG_20260919_185204625_HDR](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/8/a/8ad8a5c990658e62850b10630d61ff877c914746.jpeg) ---

So what is the best thing to do when you have one quadra in a million pieces that used to be full of rust and you want it back together?

Once mine is completed this will be fully stripped and a lot of standard parts will be available.
