The build so far.............
My father was given this for free about 6 months ago. The original plan was to fit an R5 1100 from another free car but a Gordini Turbo turned up cheap on eBay last month - we couldn't say no!

The 4 when we got it Stored in a barn for 3 years.

The chassis a month ago

The chassis 2 weeks ago

The shell a month ago

The car now! The engine is in so I'll get some pics ASAP. Back wheels are unattached to work out how much the rear will be lowered by. possibly 2 splines? The front bumper will be attached using QD fixings, the rear bumper and wheels (not fitted) are also Gordini items.

R5 Gordini dash in the 4. It fits with a little modification, some to the dash, some to the R4 heater which I'll probably change. I'm also using the 5 wiring loom as it accomodates front fogs, all the extra gauges, engine electrics and a much bigger alternator for all those lights!

Bits left are modifying the inlet manifold and inner wings, lower the rear suspension, paint the shell gloss black, finish the interior (red carpets, black and red seats) and paint/polish the alloys. That's all! :roll:
