Was waiting for this to pop up after the barn find with the late brake show, this car is so original it deserves a resto to respect its authenticity.
What a find !! I think it woul dbe nice to see it in original condition like OEM would be awesome !
@@automaxwales As a frenchy it please me a lot to see that small car that represent a wonderful car period !
Great vid! Looking forward to seeing it progress, I have one in the same colour on a H plate. Looks a good example, the windscreen rot is common, on mine we replaced the lower part with a panel from a donor campus car and the upper roof part was repaired and bronze welded etc.
The rubber strap you found in the boot does belong in the boot mate, it attaches to the rear panel and usually holds a pleather pouch in place which has the jack and wheel brace inside. Best of luck with the project. 👍
The strap is for the jack and wheel brace in the boot. You found it right next to the brackets for it
Subbed.. Looking forward to seeing the journey.. sounds like it's going to be in good hands 👍
You got a sub just for the lichen comment alone and that’s before you are fixing up one of my old favourites 😂
My vote is restore back to showroom condition. Not many left these days. Would be a crime to keep the patina after all the other work that it needs.
Oh and the strap is for the car jack that sits in boot in R5GTT
Episode 1 am dead 💀 😂
Give us a shout when u no what u doin wth the scorpion mate cheers
The strap is for jack bag in boot on rear valance
Gt Turbo tailgate have little studs to mount the spoiler on.
Lovey tongue grey. I had one, a raider and a proper Dimma, not a skeete wannabe like teapot from mequires. Miss them all.
@@automaxwales god no, this was when I paid 500 quid for a raider and a grand for the dimma 🤮 wish I could rewind ha
The strap holds the tool kit in the boot
The strap is for the jack and wheel brace which is normally strapped down in a leather bag.
It might be because im in the US so ive never seen one of these in person before but I would restore this to as close to original as possible if it were me
@josiahreigner1134 you had the le car which was the version before this,but yes I think your right 😊
Just been pointed your direction! Seems we are on similar journeys 🙏. Can help out with a few contacts for parts if you want?
@@Renault5Rebuild sounds good I've got a couple of renault 11s too so loads of bits here
I restore it but better wheels on it and better exhaust and maby a stage 1 tune .I'm not fan of the alloy's or the standerd exhaust I think Thay run better on custom exhaust with better air filter
When's the next update?
@@ZafiraSteve keep an eye on pro detailing youtube channel for the big clean
@ZafiraSteve won't be long hopefully,it will be a good episode though I'm sure
