Let's see it! Mine just dangles currently when it jumps off its connector :grimacing:

Wheels look nice! I may have to look at pricing a set of these with wets slung on them! I need pics of them fitted please :yum::smiley:

I cheated and had the heater pointed at the rubber for about 5 minutes, then threw it at the hole and it landed correctly! DID IT HECK!! 😂😂 It did take a short while, but I was determined to get it fitted, so once the “Flaps” (ooh err) were through, it was rather easy :up:

This made my chuckle... although it is always funny looking back on stupidity! 😂

- — —— Afternoon all, Last night I got the column fitted and it wasn’t as bad as I thought. *************************** But first... I ALMOST DIED!!! No sh!t! I jacked the car up on the drivers side and the jack was at roughly 90% extension. The car was well in the air and I stupidly got...

When removing my squib earlier, it did have a screw holding it in place at the bottom. Then you can pull the clip on the back(at the top) upward slightly and the squib popped off

Nice one... I’ll be sure to follow back shortly... as for the glasses... I have been to hospital 3 times from metal in my eyes from when underneath cars... I’m not doing it again 😂 I shall be sure to shout lots at this when I get there then! :grimacing: As for this...

- — —— Evening all, I’ve just got to the unit and it’s freezing! So whilst I warm the place up with my trusty electric heater I’ve just unwrapped my replacement column thanks to @Kelv It’s been here a week or so but I’ve only just unpacked it. So all set... with no idea what I’m doing I’m...

😂😂😂 I completely missed this thread and thought it was another that I've been watching... to say I got JEALOUS when I saw that Christmas was not ever coming to my house and Santa clearly had deep pockets for you, is an understatement! The welding alone is a...

Oh s**t!!!! Just got serious! If it wasn't before 😂

Although, there isn't much, if any play in the bonnet I'll give this a try :up: Thanks

Great read so far!!

Well, you've certainly got some great photos going on inI this thread! Even down to the PMS photo and all the parts are laid out simetrical! This is how I am in my day to day life, things have to look right and be presented right... partly the reason I'm loving ripping the clio to buts as I'll...

- --- ----- Just a quick update in terms of finding the car on social media etc... it'll be under #ProjectDisaster The name has stuck! You'll find it under #ProjectShitbox too but this is used quite frequently 😂 I know what you're all going to think... "It's just another bloody...

- --- ----- Afternoon all Over the last few days I've been fitting the bonnet catches and doing some CAD! :laughing: So with all the holes cut and lots of fettling, I've got the cheap eBay catches fitted to where I'm happy with them. The main reason being that the bonnet wouldn't close...

Hi Dan, thanks for your comment bud. I completely understand where you’re coming from and it’s something I am conscious of. I’ve actually got the proper AeroCatches but I’m keeping them for the fibreglass bonnet. Once I’m happy it’s running well and drives well on track, the bonnet will get...

- — —— Hello all Cheap eBay Bonnet Catches arrived, as did the more expensive quick release bumper latches for the CS group buy. So I made a start this evening on the bonnet catches Please note: I’m not looking for a perfect finish as it’s just for track use. If I were doing the cutting to...

- --- ----- So to carry on from last nights update... I've fitted the side strips and the wing mirror covers. I also had the car up on the ramp next door for a couple of hours to bleed the brakes and give the car a complete nut and bolt check. When I got the car back into the lock...

- --- ----- Evening all... Please forgive me for the lack of updates recently. I'd planned to get this up to date but a last minute trip to Canada had the, plans turned upside down! I won't bore you with the trip details, but I did enjoy a fair amount of these... :grinning: Well it's not a...

😂😂

Interested in this also as I've got nothing inside my car other than wires and that bloody huge box 😂

@STEVE.M I did indeed... I was in the damn shower 😂🙈

Hi Steve, what is it about my steering column that isn't serviceable? Just so I know what I'm looking for if I go to a scrappy if @Kelv hasnt got one for me. Thanks for your reply

Hi all.... I've got play in my steering wheel, mostly up and down and it's quite bad. I can see that there are ball bearings missing on the column which are about 2/3mm thick, these are what's causing the play on the column itself I believe. You can see the area I mean by looking at the...

😂😂😂

Completely forgot to mention this!!!! This isn't a bad shout, in fact it's something I guess I started with the thread name! Great suggestion :up: Keep them flowing :grinning:

I've not welded the plate, the only way this anchor point will move is if it's either ripped out of its threads, which is Highly unlikely or if the plate gets ripped through the floor, again highly unlikely This has crossed my mind a few times, but as far as I can tell with these harnesses, I...

Thanks mate... won't be long and she'll be rolling on the new wheels... :smile:

- --- ----- Interior So, as many of you are aware from previous updates, I'd completely stripped the interior. However, I had a fair amount of work left to do before I could fit the seats. First step was to use Gelsol on the remainder of any adhesive inside the car. Next was to give the...
