I used to be a member here about 15 years ago when I had a Mk2.5, I sold that a long time ago and after a long gap without a 5, I bought the car I dreamed of owning back then, a Mk1 R-Ltd. I’ve owned this car for 4 years, its pretty sound mechanically, but the bodywork and some of the interior leaves a little bit to be desired.
Now the weather is starting to improve I’ve decided to take it to bits and give it a bit of a refurbishment. Here are a few photos of the progress so far, I hope to update this thread as I go with my progress.
Today the cracked dash has come out. I have been lucky enough to source a replacement R-Ltd dash, I hope it will be easier to replace than it was to take out!
I forgot to add in my first post that it my intention to keep everything as standard as I can and I’ve spent many years collecting up R-Ltd bits when I have come across them.
I like to keep mine as standard as possible too - I don’t track mine, so don’t feel the need to change anything!
Those R-Ltd bits you have amassed will soon come in handy
Me too recently during my refurb. Not a lot of corrosion though…seemed surface crud due t o decades of dampness. At any rate, the soundproofing came out not too bad, and it was Dinitrolled.
