Renault 11 Turbo Phase 2 Restoration

[Turbell]

Loved those seats in mine, still the best for that era of Renaults, I thought 5Gt's and my 19 16V fabric were scratchy and itchy......whereas the 11T you could wriggle around naked like a snake ...........all soft like.............
Fuego Turbos and later A310 are the same stuff.

I'm getting the beam blasted and then painted by the guys here:
IM Axle Specialists | Peugeot Axles | Citroen Axles

Collected the rear beam from IM Axle Specialists and very pleased with what they've done!! They commented that the paint that was on the beam was a real bugger to get off (Suspect POR15?).

Repainted and bushed pressed into hubs £60 cash in hand. Pleased with that!

NICE.
I actually have a brand new matching pair of the body mount brackets with bushes in somewhere, picked up separately on ebay, many years apart. Weird what comes up sometimes.

Sould have got them to press the arms onto the beam @Big Steve - Raider as thats the hard job. I had to jack the press up 500mm or so off the floor to make the beam fit

• Then continued to tell me that my car was "In the book to be finished" the week after I picked it up but when I told him I was collecting he then worked on it solidly to finish priming it ready for collection then all it would need was blocking back and painting to be finished.
  • Commented that I couldn't accept that as it had been in the book many times before and it was still sat there..

Anyone remember that when I tried to collect my car from the sh1tbag bodyshop MARC In Melton Mowbray he's primed it "to protect it from the elements when I collect it"...?

Well now my new bodyshop is rubbing down my car ready for paint they have told me that the primer was sprayed on my car without removing the dust & debris before... so all that sh1t is under the primer!!

Therefore the guys have got to rub down the whole bloody car again and re-prime it... :dy:
