Renault 11 Turbo Phase 2 Restoration

[Chris Smith]

It never rains... it pours.... :dy::dx:

Got a message from @Millie_Bee tonight whilst I'm here in Barcelona on business that I had an URGENT letter hand delivered to me at home today... She opened it and it basically explained that the garage I hire to store various bits for the 11 and other cars was hit by a truck at the weekend and some damage occurred. Sarah goes down to have a look and finds this..

FOR FU!KS SAKE!​

The keen spotters amongst you will see a C1J covered in bricks in one of the shots together with the roof-lining from the 11. God knows what's left in there or if the local light fingered brigade have already been in there & stolen what's worth pinching..

Shit me Steve, am gutted for you.... This car had so much promise, don't give up....

 

[Barry spurgeon]

Crikey.
This build is turning into a nightmare.
I reckon you should not give up!
It will be all worth it in the end,
You will look back and laugh about it when it's all done.

Anyone else fancy a club meet somewhere around Peterborough, Oh, can someone bring a trailer please!

 

[Duncan Grier]

Bloody hell Steve wtf is going on.

Pants to read latest updates and you cant even make up the garage crash

It will get sorted and will make the car even more epic for getting through this stage of its build, chin up!

Unlucky buddy, i really hope everything works out as itll be a hell of a story and a car to have at the end of it.


This will be you once the 11 is finished @Big Steve - Raider

All pictures taken from the movie 'Water boy'. I do not own the right to use or distribute these pictures, but google let me, so its their fault.

 

[Big Steve - Raider]

Discovered from friends who live near the garage that the damage was done by some bloke stealing a car and trying to make his getaway and careered into the garage, he was consequently arrested.

FFS bud, hope nothings been taken and you can get it secured/emptied/repaired asap.

 

[gtmatt]

fuc@k me Steve , that's shit mate , is the garage covered by insurance of any sort ??
have you spoke to anyone about legal advice on the body shop and where you stand ???

 

[Neal R19]

Fuck sake, that's ridiculous!

There must be someone on here or another club who lives nearby and could go and clear all your stuff to alternative storage while you're away? I'd do it for sure if I lived anywhere close.

 

[Pigsnake]

Steve, let me know if you need a hand mate to clear the garage . I've got a bit of space at mine to store it if needed.

 

[Duncan Grier]

Welcome to fly tip one of my storage hides but far from local

 

[DaveL485]

You fecking lanky vulture!

No you cupid stunt, I meant to get it back to you!!!

No insurance AFAIK @gtmatt :at:
No I've not got any legal mates to call upon in instances like this :an:. Have filled in a form on the consumer action helpline but know not to hold my breath for that..:ck:

 

[Duncan Grier]

Steve will give you a call in about 30mins if your free. Should be able to help on legal advice

If not can text a bit later

You can get compensation as a victim of crime, not sure how you go about it though but I'm sure a quick Google will sort you out. Worth pursuing as the damage led to the local pikeys stealing the 11 shell you had in there :dn::dh:

Obviously the last bit is a joke, shitty luck on all fronts after all the work you've put into this

 

[Mart]

I'll say it again - Take a trailer to the place, with a few mates in tow, load car/shell onto trailer, drive away.

Trouble is a) I don't have the volume of nutty mates to do such a thing anymore and b) stuff like that never ends well
