Im sure with a little love it will come up lovely mate. We all have a little extra time on our hands right now. Get yourself a polished and some Sonax. 🙂
Coolant bottle finally turned up so fitted that, filled and bled the system with new Renault type D coolant.
New TCAs assembled and fitted. All hub hardware checked, double checked and marked before running it down the road to my local tyre shop to get the geometry setup. The short very slow...
Project lockdown continued today with the arrival of a new PAS switch to try and cure my PAS leak.
Still no coolant bottle arrival so that will have to wait. Anyway, I fitted the new PAS switch which hopefully does the trick.
Also decided to bite the bullet and crack on with the roll centre...
it’s water based so not hardy if it gets wet until it’ had time to dry. But after lots of applications the plastic seems to absorb the product and it lasts longer and longer.
its a long way from any coating, but it’s a very versatile product that finishes well
Lock In day 437 and reason 56732 why the neighbours think I’m mental.
First job was to bleed the brakes after the lose swap yesterday. So that was just a top up of Motul RBF600 as I had flushed and replaced the fluid over the new year.
Then I dropped the front off WZD to swap the rad. The new...

Theyre covered in ACF50, Dynax in some areas and wear these heavy duty covers so I think I’ve given them the best I can to stay in the best condition.
Just want to be able to get out and try them properly.
Get them on nice wheels and sitting properly and they’re one of the most aggressive looking little cars out there.
Zero overhang, wheels at the corners, low and fat. Perfect. ❤️
Cheers for the feedback all, basically confirms my own thoughts.
Going to order some paint this evening and refresh my originals a nice shade of silver.
As said, the colour match is shocking but worth a look just out of curiosity.
I think it’s very difficult to modify the exterior of the...
So a very kind gentleman on Pistonheads gifted me some colour coded door bullets. I trial fitted them today to see what I think.
The colour match is miles away on my car but gives me an idea if I would like to move away from the OEM silver.
My silver ones are original and have never been...
