Love the updates on this! How does returning the rear suspension to torsion bar from coilover behave now?

Absolutely bloody love this! Glad to see this on the forum getting the love it deserves! Any plans to do anything BTCCesque to bring the rear suspension ratio closer to 1:1?

Cracking work! Love this thread. Did you do a weight comparison between the electric window and windy window mechs at all?

Only just spotted this thread as I've been off here for a while. Any more progress? Seriously need to get a thread going for mine... Josh

Northy, if you have a link of a part number, that would be great! Cheers.

Cheers! I have been looking at the work you have been doing on yours too. Funnily enough, I was very very very close to buying your shell but because I am equally a sad b*****d I couldn't part with mine. Currently this project is on hold due to buying a Williams 3 do build as a daily car. I...

Its all good fun with these cars! I am intrigued to what suspension set up you have read about. There is a Full race suspension set up available from Pure motorsport which is a very serious bit of kit for very serious money. The R19 widetrack is the same width as the the Williams setup but it...

Yeah I found them really helpful. Even on phone support to a relative newbie to a welder, they were more than happy to answer any stupid question... Yeah... I thought mine wasn't going to be as bad as it is. But as soon as I started peeling away layers, more and more rot showed its face. Not...

I'm sure that it will be an interesting read even to look at pictures! Because you aren't chopping everything out doesn't mean its not an interesting thread! It would be nice to see one being tidied up/minimal work done to it :up: Josh

Glad to see another Valver being saved! Looks like you have a fair bit of work on, like me with mine. Good luck, Josh

Thanks! Yeah once the screwdriver comes out you know you will have more work than you wanted. But oh well, keep an open mind and plough on! Sounds like you have a proper rotter too like me! Do you have a project thread for the work you are doing? Cheers, Josh

Bit more of an update of progress: 12/11/2015 Did a bit more on the floor/sill/drivers footwell. During all this, my Laguna hubs arrived! Laguna 2.2D hub on the Left, Safrane on the Right. You can see that there is a noticeable offset difference between the hub face and the top of the...

Thanks for the comments! Yeah it seems to be a massive trend of scrapping Valvers in the hope to get one without rust. One is enough for me though! Ha Thanks! I'm trying to make the car last at least another 20odd years so I better do it properly. Plus m grandad used to be in the bodywork...

Thanks for the boost! Yeah I have had A LOT of people say 'why are you bothering?' But the answer is always 'why not?'. Yeah.... About that. I cocked up with that one. I now have the correct hubs off a 1994-1998 Laguna 2.2D. There are distinct differences between the Laguna and Safrane hubs one...

No worries. It's been long overdue anyway! I bet that will be a fun project! I was a bit unsure how to tackle the inner sill at first but once I started cutting away it became more apparent. The idea behind getting the Safrane hubs is to enable me to change the roll centre like one the Clio cup...
