Renault 11 Turbo Phase 2 Restoration

Since I completed that rebuild I've had an itch for an 11 Turbo for a while because I loved their rare/quirky factor so over a few mince pies during Christmas in
2011 I had a look around to see what was available. I initially found a LHD Silver Phase 2 in Italy which was in beautiful condition but:
  • The whole logistics of buying the car
  • Moving it back to the UK
  • Insuring a LHD
  • it's VERY high price (€4000)
  • The fact that it would leave me nothing to actually create & rebuild
... knocked it on the head:

hey... you think the italian mk2 was to expensive?!...how many km was on the counter?
Anyway... GREAT JOB of restore your mk2 :ay:
 
Work is progressing nicely on the wiring looms for the 11, I’m getting quite proficient now at sourcing all the correct terminals and disassembly tools to remove them from their housings and then replacing them all with new connectors and wiring. I’ll do a bit more of a write up and also put some terminals in the shop for anyone else who wants to repair a connector of doom if needed!

To keep you interested, here’s a few pictures of my re-painted air box thanks to @jas_racing:
