Dunc Uno Turbo · Jan 29, 2007

so while waiting a couple of weeks to pick the van up, i started picking up some 5 gt turbo parts ready for my conversion hehe

won a pair of front 5GTT calipers for £14 off ebay

and when i went to pick them up, i got a 5GTT steering wheel off the bloke for £10 and a set of mint 5GTT clocks also for £10

Sorry but that van dash is :yuck:

But good luck with the project - After all its all go.. no show.

Dunc Uno Turbo · Jan 29, 2007

i was then back on ebay, and i won a 5GTT fuel pump for £5

had a dig about under my bed and i found the old dump valve and fitting kit off my uno turbo, so put it to one side ready to fit to the gt turbo lump

went round to a bloke i know who had broken a 5 turbo recently, and managed to get a set of koni adjustable front shocks for £20

another bargain!

bagged another bargain off ebay, an in car adjustable bleed valve, for a whole 99p

Love it already, gona be one of those, ffs, someones modded an old renault van, why!?!? Then the person saying this will ask why, then they'll have a closer look, realise its pretty tidy for a van with the front ur putting on, then they wont get to see much of the rear end for very long, as it'll be gone

Just a dot in the distance

Dunc

No dont

This is one project that I would love to see from start to finish

I joined the forum quite late into your UT restoration and to be honest spent a while trying to catch up

where as I have finally caught the beginning of your new project so will be able to keep up this time

This is going to be a beast of a car/van and I for one want to follow its progression :worship:

Ah I love my Renaults, my old 5GTT was sold on eBay last week for £920 with no MOT or TAX, guy who bought it drove up from Torquay to London to collect and thought he got a bargain, going to fix a few things and sell it for £2500 in a months time, my mate was gutted when he told him, he would have accepted £500 for it before Christmas as he has went to the dark side and bought a Suzuki GSXR or something bike, only way to get about London really.

Parts are so easy to get Dunc, even new 5GTT bumpers are available for about £60 from either eurocarparts or germanswedish&french

My mate gave away a vary rare Skeete bumper as well with the car

PS don't fit a bleed valve to it, they went out of tuning fashion about 15years ago when folk got smart to how to tune a car!
