Been there a while now.
Was aquired as a non runner for £150
Investigated and it so far found it needs a head gasket
No laughing because I know its hideous 








I havnt posted pics for opinions but by all means if you have any
Robin wanted to see it so thought as i uploaded them may as well have a laugh

Have fun remembering where the maze of pipework goes back on if you do the head gasket yourself (sorry for swearing!)

That why I said sorry for swearing (about you doing the work!) 
My brother used to have a very highly modified R5 1.7 GT turbo, went like the clappers but was forever breaking down, and they are a cnut to work on! best bet is to take the bonnet off as they are French and open the wrong way.

R5 gtts are awseome cars, best in standard form (bodywork wise) with a decent drop.....not bad for 150 though..
