I wish. At very best 2021. Not even considering it for this year. I'll have to slum it in the V6 &/or Meglio :)

No worries, I actually stumbled on a Renault 21 Manual brake servo last week, snapped it up and the 197 brake master is a straight fit...which is nice haha!

As you have seen above I did the OSF inner wheel arch a while back but after seeing the shambles of the NSF subframe mount (which I excluded before as it "looked OK") I decided to go back and revisit it. As I drilled out the spot welds for the right angle bracket this fell out FFS... so I...

Then I made a new right angle bracket for the NSF wheel arch and reattached the leading edge. Tried to do the bracket in one piece but it looked shite so I made it in 2.

Back on the case this weekend. First off I had drawn up my car-rollerskate frame and my mate at Custom Metal Solutions fabbed it up for me. 4 Pneumatic wheels on the way for it. Also I decided against the 197 brake servo as I didnt wanna mod the turret to fit it in, and on the offchance...

As far as I recall the bidder was UK based, or, his IP address was at least. These was a Cat S LY Megane 225 went for close to a grand the other week too, that went to Belgium though.

No idea, i'd assume the box was toast though after an impact like that, would have smashed the shaft back into the diff. If I could have got it for less than the resale value of the lump I might have give it a shot. Some stuff on Copart lately is mental, I almost bought a Cat B Ultima Evo the...

Around £800 hammer plus fees and VAT so over a grand and then transport costs. Conversely I saw a Cat B 250 Megane go for £150 the other week, A Cat B shell can only be bought by someone with a Cat B license and a certificate of destruction for the shell must be provided in 30 days.

I was watching this - can't believe how much it went for! Anyone on here? Was hoping to bag it cheap for the seats lol

Blimey, that was quite a read from the start to end...what a journey! Great thread! I found the thread from researching the compbrake brake setup you didn't get along with. I've been looking at one to use on my project as an option, along with a servo conversion and a few variations of both. OE...

Mad isn't it, basically they just hacked a shell apart and welded some stuff in. Badly. They took a standard Mk2 shell, whacked it on a jig and plasma cut half of it away. You can see on mine on the front end where they cut the front slam about to fit the bigger rad, they didnt even tidy the...

She understands it from her own house yeah :P i'm getting all of this done before she moves in and puts the brakes on haha. To be fair she did question the bucket seats and 2 sets of wheels in my bedroom cupboard but I cleared her a drawer for some weekend stuff and gave her a slot for her...

I built myself a huge garage after the big clearout, so big in fact I was sure i'd have all the space i'd ever need. So anyway, it's full now.... and i've built extra storage under the floor in my living room, with access trapdoors. I mean, wasted space otherwise right?

Finally I started cleaning up the front part of the wheel arch I removed to access the chassis rail and subframe mount. I had to replace a small section that had been eaten away by the rust monster. I sized it up for refitting - debating whether to re-use that curved bracket that joins it...

This was a tricky little bugger to make, the aperture where the track rod arm comes through the turret. The arms on a 21 are huge, they bolt to the end of the rack in the middle of the car (so the rod arms span the whole width of the car and run across the middle of the bulkhead) Getting...
