I know too many shows recently so rarely get a free weekend! Hoping to get it running this weekend though!SO excited!
Bring it to the meet, and then the afterparty if it hasn't broken down/rusted to death* !
*karma will get me, damnit.

If it does break down. Rob can tow it.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED !
I'll stick it on the roof-rack or pop it in the boot... It probably weighs less than my MTB anyway !

Do you have enough bungee cords and ropes to attach all the parts though?

The aim is to get it back to it's former glory - well almost!
I like the idea of keeping it standard however we do want to keep the car reliable/usable and fun so I guess it'll be OEM+ in the end.
Looking to upgrade the brakes and convert to carbs whilst keeping the exterior and interior as it came out of the factory.
We weren't able to start it last weekend due to 2 hoses being missing from one of the kits, just waiting on that and some dry weather and we can bolt it all back together.

discs on the rear will not really improve braking. Drum brake spares are getting harder to come by now though so it might be a wise move. You have to completely remove the stub axles and hub though to swap. Not too difficult though.
A change of fluid, discs and pads should get the car stopping nicely. Worth checking the front calipers are working properly and are not siezed.

A recent stroke of luck has meant that Ben's work have offered us a spare ramp in the workshop. So as soon as it's up and running it's going to get a full once over and a good clean up 
.
Cheers for the much appreciated advice though Kev, will have a look and see how braking feels after new pads, discs and fluids and if it's still pants then look at an upgrade. With a bit of luck we won't need to though!

I've got a set of Galfer racing pads on the shelf for 1.6 calipers. cheap cheap
Just stumbled across this thread, don't get on here much as i haven't had a Clio in years! This was never a 'Rallycross' car, you were never told as such. 'Autocross' maybe.
It was purely a toy but came to the end of it's life when the rear beam gave up & HG died on the original 180k engine. It was rebuilt from basically the shell up with alot of new or reconditioned parts in '09, basically just to remove the VRM that was on it, but also to be a simple, effective usable car, it was never going to be a show winning concourse car of course! But everything worked well, including the brakes, it had fast road/competition pads so they need a little heat before they start to work well. The dampers aren't top notch, but they're uprated Boge Gas items & not very old. The brake pedal may have a bit of travel now because the drums usually need periodic adjustment as the auto-adjusters never work, this will bring the pedal back up with a firmer feel. The shell has seen better days yes, but wasn't terrible in the great scheme of things. All of which you knew, nothing was a surprise, it was advertised honestly and sold at a fair price reflecting the shell's condition yet work & parts that had gone into it, by me, a long-time reknowned & reputable 205 enthusiast. Kev knows me well & as it happens, you guys should know of Mark Fish right? This car was driven by one of the Fish's before it was sold and praised massively! It was a fantastic neutral handling car, perhaps with a little rear-brake bias being pre-dominantly used off-road, but never failed to make me smile, it was only sold because i built better cars for the job since, but i still miss it! Sorry to hear about the HG though, i got the engine from an 80k Ph2 car and it seemingly always ran well as it did when i sold it, was it ever clear how it/what went?
Good luck with it!
