Picked up a set of @Tomotek excellent exhaust hanger mounts. Really high quality and great value. Probably better for motorsport applications where cars are generally kept dry and clean, as opposed to a daily due to the welds on the nuts making them susceptible to corrosion. I have a set...

Bloody isn't. That stuff's nasty.

Found some old exhaust brackets which I’m going to get aqua blasted and then fit some Powerflex bushes. Now I always laugh when I read people saying it’s impossible to get the old rubbers out. And am astonished to see some examples being hacked with saws, Stanley blades etc. The job is...

I could be wrong. Seen cars go for what I’d consider crazy money. All you can do is put yours up for a price you feel it’s worth and let the market decide. Still quite a few scrappers around and the traders are still lurking in the shadows looking for a bargain. If we weren’t on the cusp of a...

Fitted the Powerflex bushes to the refurbished beam. An absolute doddle. I run a dremel with a light sanding disc to remove any excess paint. The outer sleeve goes in from the inside of the beam. A few taps with a mallet and a block of hardwood and it’s in. There’s a small lip on the outer...

More new parts to keep these Clio’s going 🙈 Should keep me busy and out of trouble.

With that mileage what are you going to do with it? Sit on it and hope you make a return in a marketplace so unpredictable at the moment. Used car prices are at an all-time high because of a shortage of new cars, but that bubble will slowly deflate rather than burst by next year. I'm sure all...

4 years ago today I took this picture of a tired and sad old car when I went to collect her. I knew nothing about them and didn’t really care as I had a long term plan for her. 109,000 on the clock at the time, now on 131,000 and looking how she should She’s been a puzzle and caused me a...

Thanks. These have a few marks on the inside of the plastic, but I’m too scared to crack them open 😬

🛎🛎Ding, ding, round 1 🛎🛎 Dug my old Xenons out, my god, they’re rough. I remember carrying these around with me on trackdays in case the TDO didn’t like my headlight blanks I had to cut really hard into these and it’s caused me some headaches, but I’ll get there. Still tons of scratches but...

I forgive you 😉 Yeah his restorations are top notch 👌🏻 His number plates are pretty awesome as well

And I’ve still got the BG 🥰

Are you stalking me or what 😂😂😂 Technically that is correct as the one I was offered was lowered, had silly canards, carbon etc. This one is almost original, low owners, lots of history, very clean and straight. Plus I changed my mind 😂

Got the hubs for the rear beam sorted. I've also had a few messages about the type of paint i'm using, how i prepare things, whether i'd recommend etc... I'm not an expert at this by any stretch, just a hobbyist restorer who's making mistakes as he goes along and learning through experience...

Did you treat that rust with anything before undersealing?

Wow standard exhaust. Did you buy it new?

Yeah always a tricky job when they’re in situ

Keep it OEM. Had my inlets blasted back to factory and clear coated.

Finished the rear beam off. Deox-gel Hydrate-80 Electrox Epoxy-mastic

Welcome to Clio Sport ownership 😊

Rear beam all done, just hubs and brackets to finish. Really pleased with how it turned out and I’m confident it’ll hold the corrosion back for many years to come. Magic ingredients Deox-gel Hydrate-80 Electrox Epoxy mastic Satin paint Clearcoat

It's back up - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265204341348. Pictures look fantastic.

Thanks.

Yes it is. Bought it last Friday from him.

I've just joined the club. Haven't clicked through the entire thread so not sure if previous owners have already posted pictures. But she's now mine and it's staying that way.

Full attack! Started Friday night, finished Sunday morning armed with my dremel and tiny wire brush 😂 I need to invest in a shot blaster! Gave the complete beam a good coating of Deox-Gel, then 3 coats of Hydrate-80. 1st coat of Electrox zinc primer tonight then I’ll repeat with another few...

Got a link to genuine Valeo?

Began preparing my old rear beam for paint to go on my new project.

That engine bay 🔥🔥
