The DOOD Continued. 1986 Renault 11 Turbo

[Prab]

Afternoon All,

Adey has been on at me to get back on the forum, so creating this thread as a placeholder for the DOOD project which I will update shortly.

Attached a picture of The DOOD with my 25 TXI the day after I picked her up from Karl.

Cheers

Prab

Updates updates updates. What your planning is something I thought of in the past

 

[Prab]

The DOOD made it to the unit but last leg was done without electricity!

Was spotted along the way





Stripped the engine out of the 172







Next steps get the c1j out.

Interior wise my seats are shagged, its getting buckets



Managed to snag these cheap yesterday.



Thats it for now

I'm not sure how I feel about the C1J being dumped, but it's better than the car being scrapped

The inlet looks awfully high...respectfully suggest dropping the bonnet in place to make sure it clears...I suspect the inner skin will foul...

Engine is slightly jacked up mate, when we get the custom mount made it will sit lower

More of my bits arrived and Ash's dad made a custom engine mount [emoji108]













Modded exhaust mani





And I've just spent £300 on more bits!

Nice dab of welding on that mount

Actually got to spend some time with the Dood this weekend.

When i arrived at the lockup Ash was bored whilst waiting for his mate to let him know about doing the belts so I bought him some paints...













I ripped the broken front seats out





Popped one of the new buckets in just to imagine what its going to be like [emoji108]





Today while the cambelt and dephaser was being done to kill some time i painted the bay





Four nice coats of gloss black from two tins



What you cant see is that i painted in all the nooks and crannies and even under the subframe and other components. I also undercoated the subframe.

Et voila we dropped the engine in for the final time.





Next job wire up and plumb everything in. A few bits are currently on order but we are hopeful to have it all done by mid april at the latest!

Really coming along. Good.work buddy

 

[DaveL485]

Good stuff, looking nice. Don't drop the bonnet too hard the first time you close it because it's going to whack that lovely pretty manifold

 

[Ash4ord]

Great work so far looking forward to updates.

We will be spacing the bonnet slightly [emoji108]

Remember to allow for engine shift under load.

I didn't.

I now have a reverse dint in my bonnet where the TXi plenum headbutts the bonnet skin when it jumps about.

Not much to report, engine has been plumbed in. 172 loom is in but needs to be spliced to the 11 loom, need an alternator brAcket and exhaust welding up

needs to be spliced to the 11 loom

How are you addressing the tacho issue? (Dizzy to Wasted Spark)
