5 GT Turbo PH1 Pearl

The Five is running, and over the summer months I'm gonna do some continious improvements. The most interesting part of this build is over, but I'll keep updating occasionally, if something new comes up.

Now I'll slowly re-start the rust repairs of my Clio 1.8 16v, I abandoned it when I was offerede the Renault 5 Turbo.. Hopefully I can get it roadworthy by spring 2022.. When it's done I'm gonna drive it around a bit, to decide if I'm gonna keep it, or sell it to help finance building the Alpine A310 in the background.. I think the Clio Mk1 body with the extended arches and the bulge in the bonnet are one of the most stylish hatcbacks ever made, and the fact it drives so well will make it a tough decision.

Sold the Clio to my friend who has an YouTube channel where he does a lot of small and large projects, mostly cars, but also other interesting stuff :) You can follow his restauration of the Clio on Seaside Garage - YouTube LINK

The R5 is getting better and better as things get sorted, but a few things needs to wait for the winter months.

- Side decals.
- Welding the holes for the rear wiper and washer and paint the boot lid.
- Change the turbo - maybe to the new Garret series??
- Change wiring loom and dash.
- Fit Original seats, not entirely sure about this one, I like the bright seats it has now..
- Fit fixed windows.
- Paint the right rear wing after the panel has been straightened.
- Change all the fluids

Here in great company on the weekly classic car meeting in Sønderborg.

In the meantime I'm gonna get startet on my A310 again, does it make sense the start a thread on that one on here as well?
It's on a pallet with the wheels just put in the wheel arches the make it look a bit better :) There's no frame in it.

A little update from Denmark!

New bigger brakes fitted from a Clio 16V I believe. I may have to do something about the colorscheme some day:rolleyes:

The rear quarter glasses has been annoying me a long time, so they had to go! Hopefully the new ones don't leak and pop open all the time.
I was so lucky to get hold on a brand new set of seals!
