The history of the R5 6 wheels continues slowly. In 2008, Dirk Dutschmann had started collecting the 3 vehicles for start your project, remake R5 TS by Christian de Léotard. Thereafter in 2010, he had entrusted the cars to a car manufacturer because he did not dare to do this project alone.

Sadly, the workshop manager had problems from time to time, he could not continue to take care of the R5.
Dirk Dutschmann then decided to take the car home to finish it. Since she has no engine, it's easier to maneuver it just with 4 wheels.
He had forgotten how much work remained to be done so that the box could be reassembled, all welds were always good, Fortunately.
Driver side there were several problems with the floor and passenger side it was with the ceiling that it was wrong.
Reinforcement construction for the sides
Repair of the prefabricated stub axle on the driver's side. so desolder and reweld !
Ensuite, all welds have been cleaned and protected from rust with a primer. For a good reason, sealed with body sealant. It protects the welds from water.
Tank overhaul, axles, trains and much more.
He got other alloy wheels for road tires and all terrain play, repainted the whole.
Now comes the assembly, rear reinforcement. He will see later how he will proceed for the rest. Probably with the removal of normal rust spots from the Renault R5 at the front. Then
assembly of roof parts. Maybe he will give the car back to a garage so that it is finished.
Good luck for the Dirk suite.
