Been MIA for a while… busy working Currently out with a couple friends

Thought I’d give the headlights a bit of TLC

Some more updates... Car now has a 12 month ticket on it, I treated it to some deagreaser under the hood ;) *Note the bling plenum* Then took it straight down to Samko Tyres so have rear tyres fitted and tracking Need to get that exhaust sorted asap! its never good having a droppy...

I'll drop you a message on instagram in a bit mate, we have a few cars heading to a trackday soon at Llandow! Just need to sort a date out that suits everyone

If only I still had them williams wheels... :cautious: Let me know if you manage to find a spare in the garage, I could be interested in a grille if the price is right :cool:

Thanks dude! Don't post that much on insta anymore as you'd have noticed... I'll have to get back on it and share some updates on there soon (y):cool:

Yep! dig out some pics mate, would be good to see them

Parts aren't that hard to find, I think the main issue is when people add the Renault 5 tax on top... It's just expensive when s**t goes wrong 🫣

Had a nice visit from @Con.SW yesterday, showing me his new RB The one side of the Clio looking very faded... sad face Maybe hard to tell on these pics, but you can see from the wing how bad it is I took it back home to give it a wash... Looking much better now all the green shite is off it!

Only just getting round to reading through this thread mate, great read! We definitely need to arrange something in the South Wales area soon. Maybe Llandow... 🫣

Plan is to build it back to OE+ I have a T2 hybrid going on, white hose kit, lots of chrome pipe work under the bonnet (but nothing mental!) I ended up selling the Willy's cause some chap on the owners page wanted them and offered me a cash price I couldn't refuse. I do want another set, but...

Looks ace that! Shame you don't have it anymore :( Use this site mate, it'll tell ya https://totalcarcheck.co.uk/

That's awesome bud! How many dump valves does one man need though!! 😝

I'll post some pics up of how it looks now, I still need to stick the interior in, and some other bits and bobs... been parked in the garage since I was working on the 182 instead. I need at least one of the projects back on the road for this summer lol! I'm on the hunt for a standard grille...

Yes mate, it looked like they were just welding over the top of the rotten metal and hiding the rust that way... either way, I'm glad it's sorted now :)

That gear knob would deffo be worth a few £££ mate

Here's what she looked like during paint... 2/2

Here's what she looked like during paint... 1/2

Dropped the engine in, and started refitting panels getting it ready for paint

Here's the pics from the engine rebuild, I also had the alternator, and turbo polished :love:

Thanks mate!! Loads more pics to follow I was expecting a lot less, maybe that's me being nieve lol :ROFLMAO:

Try dig some out pal, most are worth a small fortune now!!

We managed to get the bay painted first, along with dressing it up a bit with stickers and some new brackets. The engine was dropped in next, but I'll post up some pics of the rebuild now

Some close ups of the roof repair and more prep on the shell

Some close ups around the car... The engine bay was taken back to bare metal before it was prepped

So, because the sunroof f'd the roof skin. We had to find a new roof to replace it woth. Thankfully, one of my friends had this red roof laying round in pretty good condition. We started chopping away at the old roof and soon got the new one on :cool:

Some more...

Further update..

After some quick stabs with the phillips...

So, after we had it taken to the garage to strip some more bits off ot, we realised that it needed a bit more love than initially exepected! Here's some pics from when we first starting stabbing away at the body work... as you should be able to see as well, the sunroof has made the roof buckle...
