Renault 11 Turbo Phase 2 Restoration

[andybond]

parts came out a lot better following a good wash, but they need a detailed going over with a tar remover in many places, and then potentially I may spray some?? Not decided yet..?

Wait for Mrs T to go out
Dishwasher
Return items to garage.
Act as if nothing has gone on when Mrs T returns.

Gtechniq c4 or bumper gel for the plastics. Paint will flake off eventually

Am I allowed to say I dont rate c4 ? I put some on the meg plastics and it didnt really appear to do a great deal. I have some rejuvinate and that lasts around a month of so , but its a bitch to apply correctly.

Did you use it on the pillar plastic on the megane ? Nothing works on them to be honest only get a temp shine with bumper gel.

C4 is great check my clio dci thread, the plastics still look reasonable 18month later

Yes , yes I did !

I painted them in the end !

The best thing for them plastics is a coat of dodo juice red mist spray brings them up nice. Seriously though C4 is great on most softer plastics if you get me. Trins need to be cleaned off and prepared properly though.

Still rate Autoglym bumper gel for temporary shine. Back in the day when i done my gtt interior plastics with it everybody thought i had bought new it came up that good

The commitment to this 11T is second to none. I remember the convo about the paint so I'm glad the Simpson option came through in the end it's well deserved.

Steve you are such a supernerd.

You mean not everyone is spending nearly a week to rebuild & repaint a windscreen washer assembly?? :ah:









This is pretty much the process I plan on doing on all those sh1tty little bits you come across in these cars... Sorry guys, this thread is going to be internet breakingly long... :af:

this thread is going to be internet breakingly long..

Do not panic. I have put a bigger flapper nozzle valve in the server and we now have a dual wobblertron powering that !

Keep the posts coming . Love the starts on the chosen items.

Another box went through, this one was Engine Bay Parts:
Lots of these parts need blasting/cleaning/coating/painting etc. so I'm just again picking out the best parts, and piling them up in various piles to work on.

Anti Perc Fan's. They both worked ok, but I decided to strip the worse one down to see if they could be re-built, short answer - NO :dy:

Interestingly, both of the solenoids worked as well!!

Next was the air filter boxes, one of the two was really bent out of shape and rusting badly, easy one this to pick the best..



Air Filter Bracket. I only have one of these, and thankfully it's all in relatively good condition:

This is what I'm doing with all the parts that need other work doing, stripping down and separating to piles for blasting/painting/replacing etc..

Fuel Filter Brackets:


Air Filter housing Bunjee's:


Fuel Pump Housing:

Box full of seals gone through.


Nice surprise to find a BRAND NEW OE ORIGINAL Rear Window Seal in the box I'd forgotten about:bo::

Oh, AND a Front Windscreen seal as well :bp:


I've got two sets of seals from the doors of the car as I stripped the Red 11 many years ago, thankfully a lot of the stuff from that Red 11 are in fairly good condition. I laid out the two seals together to compare:
BOOT SEALS:

You can see that the outer one is ripped to shreds, so that one is going out..

DRIVERS DOOR SEAL:

Again the outer seal is ripped on one corner, so that one is out:

PASSENGER DOOR SEAL:

Both these seals are in similar condition, just the OE Silver seal has some overspray from the damage repair that the car went thru many years ago, so that one was discarded:

dual wobblertron

By the time I do the 21 we will need a third wobblertron.

Anyway. Any bits you sack off Steve lemme know, if there anything I need for the 9 that I dont have or are worse than yours (etc)

 

[Big Steve - Raider]

Braking box this time.. well I was a box at one point!!

Rear Brake Bias valves:


Handbrakes:

Nice that one of the Handbrakes has a date stamp..



If you ever wondered what I am doing with all these discarded parts...? I can't bare to throw them away until I am SURE I don't need anymore, so I'm putting them in this spare Wheelie Biin we have:

It's filling up fast!! :ad:

Isnt it worth recon the "spares" you have and resell them to offset the cost of the project ?

Maybe, but I can't be arsed advertising old parts on eBay like some people do, I'd be delighted to help @DaveL485 or any other member of www.TurboRenault.co.uk out with parts for their 9/11's as required.. :ay:
