Renault Extra Van Project (soon to be turbo'd)

Introduction

well, heres my official Renault Extra Van project thread. ive stuck it in 'Lets talk Fiat' as i thought it could sit along side my uno turbo project thread as i know many of you have enjoyed reading it so i thought ud like a simlar thread to read through even tho its not a fiat! if a mod feels it should be deleted can they let me know, cheers.

anyway,i purchased the van as i needed a run about and i had many areas i wanted to cover. i wanted something fun, turbo'd, a van, a renault 5 gt turbo, and a sleeper all in one. so the Renault extra Van was the perfect solution!!

so here is it, sorry its dark, but its the best i have at the moment! basicly the Extra van is a renault 5 with a box on the back lol :D

i hated my pirelli's, so much road noise it was untrue, one got a screw though it the other day though so back on standard wheels with conti's on, can't believe how much more grip i got and theres hardly any road noise.. I don't like pirelli's but that me.

Looking good Dunc, I take it your still looking for a front bumper as you've spent time cleaning up the standard one. This thing is gonna look comedy during build up, can't wait to see it sat on the compo's.

at the moment im gonna keep it looking how it is. i will one day fit the GT Turbo kit to it, but for now it'll look how it does now, just slammed on the comp mo's with the exhaust out the back hehe.

wanna get it really tidy and the engine fitted before i start fitting GTT body parts hehe

I'm trying to visualise this when its finished and i just can't contemplate what the rear quarters are gonna look like, will it have the gtt arches on? And what you doing about the back, will it have some kinda bumper on or not?

yeah, i can imagine its hard to visualise, but trust me, it'll look pretty smart once completed!

the front bumper will be gtt as well as the grill. the front arches will go on no probs as well. we then get to the side skirts, which i will get 3 side skirts and made 2 longer ones out of the 3 to fit the length of the van. the rear arches will follow the shape of the rear arch fine as the renault 5 arches are same shape, i'll just have to lengthen them at the back so they reach the back of the van. as for the rear bumper, thats the only bit that wont be gt turbo as that wont fit at all. plus it would just get battered from loading stuff into the van so i think im just gonna keep the standard rear bumper on there for now :)

Hows everything going on this van have you sorted out a GTT engine out for it??? if not i know where theres a clio williams engine that ive been told should fit in and its only £90 complete if your interested, come be some fun with that 2 litre 16v!
