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. 👍
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
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
I think Renault knew how to make the car perform to its best remembering it is for road use. Performance exhausts generally just mean makes a lot of noise and, really don’t add a lot to performance. Don’t forget insurance sky rockets when cars aren’t as standard. If you wanted a quicker one you bought the maxi with the mid engine. All Renaults had keys that shape in the 1980’s for the ignition.
I saw the first video with Jonny. Oh that takes me back. I’m so jealous. One of my bucket list cars.

Oh man I love these Renault 5 GT Turbos!
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.
I want concourse of course but i have one in a similar condition so getting it back on the road would be a good view too.
1,000 subs, well done lads. Keep up the good work.
@bertoltb1358 thank you,and thanks for supporting
What a find !! I think it woul dbe nice to see it in original condition like OEM would be awesome !
@@willtercossak9081 agree definitely
@@automaxwales As a frenchy it please me a lot to see that small car that represent a wonderful car period !
@@automaxwales👊🏼💦 wet wipe

Wow thank you 😊 appreciated
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 👍
@grantmail4112 thank you 😊
You got a sub just for the lichen comment alone and that’s before you are fixing up one of my old favourites 😂
@@Buck3366 🤣 thank you
The strap is for jack bag in boot on rear valance
Know Gary at ProD very well your in good hands
@PaulDoldenDetails gary is great,glad he's doing it
Oh and the strap is for the car jack that sits in boot in R5GTT
The strap is for the jack and wheel brace which is normally strapped down in a leather bag.
@@DjEpisode1980 brilliant thank you
Give us a shout when u no what u doin wth the scorpion mate cheers
Episode 1 am dead 💀 😂
D blackhurst are still in business - they might do you some!
@@samjones8565 good shout I'll look them up, thank you
Gt Turbo tailgate have little studs to mount the spoiler on.
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.
@@chrisb2443 I think your right
Lovey tongue grey. I had one, a raider and a proper Dimma, not a skeete wannabe like teapot from mequires. Miss them all.
@@plusoem I'd love a dimma,but I wouldn't sacrifice this one lol
@@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
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 😊
