Thanks- yeah they organised a replacement when they saw the picture, just a shame to trash it! I was getting itchy because there are none in stock and my patience is wearing thin to get the work all done! Cheers.

Mega! Good progress.

I received this Nissans rad- bashed up by DPD. I filled it with water and it didn’t leak- but unpressurised of course. The tubes themselves look like they must have been bent- so is it an absolute no go? I don’t want to fit it and then find it’s bad? Are they really fragile?

Between weather, kids, rust, surprise old bodges and general stuff, things much less impressive than what you’re doing always take me 3 x the imagined time. Usually that means into a second or third day for me. What a pain in the arse! Good luck next time.

If anyone wants to do them at 2009 prices, that would be lovely!

Looks great- visually ties the wheels in with the car really nicely.

Yeah, it quite quickly becomes that, doesn’t it. I’m working on two other cars at the same time so it may be this for now and then a refurbed subframe, wishbones etc etc in a year or two.

Basically that. I’m about to put fresh cup dampers on my 172 Cup, cooksport springs and both driveshafts. What else is an obvious job/change to do on a weary Cup while these bits are being done? Will change the gearbox oil, obvs. Any bushes? Thanks.

How did you get on @Kizzaaa ? Any watch outs? I’m about to do this as part of a bigger piece of refurb work.

As above- I need someone who can work over the Clio and remove as many dents and marks as possible- any recommendations?

Amazingly, my rad top brackets are fully functional, so just waiting on a load of parts to arrive now for the extended cooling/ac/panel refresh. So I messed around with the seat side mounts instead:

Thanks. Decided I’m going to change the rad, coolant expansion tank and hoses while I’m at it… how bad is that and do I need extra little bits that I don’t know about (have hi grip clamps)- like bolts and parts that might be rusted or are needed to complete the job? Those are the things that...

Slowly getting through some jobs and identifying more to do… The big one (for me) is changing the ac condenser, wings and bumper. I have the condenser and drier, some ac seals- am I going to need anything else? My rad has some damage at the top where it looks like the bolts from the old...

How’s the car going?

This was meant to be “I feel your pain” but my phone didn’t like that I guess!
