All will be revealed... when we come to the full interior section ;)

Made a start on the fuel filler neck today. The rust-converter seemed to have done it's job overnight: So I gave it a little rub down with my mini sander: Masked it up: And then hit it with a couple of light coats of Zinc Primer: More work to come when that all dries up properly. Started...

Looks like it’s a running theme then chaps... just like it is on the 5GTT’s Pleased I caught it now!!

Great work sir!! Was it just a quick rattle can job for the paintwork, or did you get it done professionally??

Do you have any pictures of your work @RustyMojo ?

Bloody Renault's.... 😠 Was having a quick dig around the rear of the car for any rust I'd missed and found a couple of points that looked like they needed some attention. To help with access I removed the fuel filler neck and noticed that the area around the fuel filler door looked suspicious...

That 1L tin I had covered the main passenger compartment bit quite well and a couple of bits behind the fuel tank that I found as well. You’d need 2 to do the whole underfloor. I bought 2, so I’ve got enough to do the front arches as well now. 👍

Thank you @frayz I stopped at the jacking points. The previous owner had under sealed the front arches, but as you saw from one of my posts, there was some rust that wasn’t treated properly so was lurking underneath. The front subframe is all clear of underseal.

Yeah it’s a nice feeling to know it’s all done ✅

Thanks to @Ash J I got hold of a pair of OE Grey Insert Hella Headlights - Thank you sir! I called on the support of my best man and detailing king Jez to see how good he can polish them up... I think he's done a great job! Thanks for reading :)

Now the underneath of the car is coming together, I started to have a look at some of the brake-lines I got for the car, and noticed that on one of the Front to Back lines the fitting had rusted away, which mean the 11mm spanner wouldn't grip it enough to tighten... So I whipped out the brake...

Now I'm becoming quite deft at spotting the small pieces of corrosion that turn into something bigger when you start to dig at them with a scraper, I'd seen a couple of small points in the front arches next to the brake line bracket that caught my eye: After a quick dig around, I soon uncovered...

Been spending a crazy amount of time on my back under the Clio for the last 2 days... but I think the final results are worth it. First step was to remove all of the underfloor fixtures & fittings - Brake/Fuel Lines, Clips etc.. I then had a good dig round under the car with a scraper to find...

This guys on your doorstep and does amazing work.. https://www.davethetrimmer.com/

Been working on bringing the exhaust heat shields back to life from a mix of brand new, and used parts. The final count was 2 new and 2 old. Fair amount of work to bring the used ones back to life, as the old tin worm had given it a good nibble. But chuffed with the result. Next job over the...

Beautiful work @MLB 💙

So delighted it’s worth while!!! I was fitting it and wondering if I was going TOO far... but now you say it’s a potential leak path, I’m chuffed I did it!! 👍 Thanks for the comment @Mbeau

Buggering about with the door panel today: From the factory there’s adhesive strip running round the bottom of the door panel, that’s always the first to disappear when the door panel is removed. You can see in the picture below, where some of it remains, and then some places it’s still...

Theres a challenge... 😉

Sure is sir!! As a fellow Goonzquad watcher, I thought the music fits the application 👍

Pleased with that @Coops Mk1, as I know your standards are VERY high.

Got the engine bay 99% complete today fitting: Radiator, condenser and fan assembly Remaining air con pipes Filled with coolant and pressure bled Air filter box and inlet Battery cover Thanks for reading 🙂

Totally agree, give the rust on that crossmember a quick rub down to remove the loose bits, then cover it with DEOX and it’ll stop it getting worse

I know how you feel sir!! I’ve still got a HEAP of work to do on my Rebuild, but I’m confident I could get it ready for the National Day.. got my tickets and everything ready to go... but also think it’s chances of going ahead as-is are declining... 😕

Beautiful work @MLB subscribed!!

😂😂 No more anal than me @Amos91.. I was checking the Dialogys system as I was assembling the hubs.. I’ll be swapping that one bolt round now.. 😉

Fitted the front driveshafts, hubs, Brake discs, (BigRedd) refurbished calipers and front Bilstein coilivers today: Chuffed with how it's all come out. Here's the Offside: And Nearside: I wasn't sure how the dark blue on the calipers was going to look, but I really like it now it's on...

That "Should" go back together. Just make sure you get no sh!t in the bearing, do up the nut and then see how it feels. You should know if it's fubar when you torque the hub nut up..

scuttle panel drain hole

Thought I would have a go at this V-logging malarky whilst we have all have all the time in the world.. :p and thanks to Cliosport, I followed this guide on HOW TO REMOVE YOUR DOOR PANEL and removed the drivers door panel as the drivers door lock doesn't seem to be working. When I whipped the...
