I do love this car and it's good to see it coming together, when is the cars first outting reckon i'd come along to take a watch as i've been watching it take shape be good to see it in action!
Hey, hey, hey!!!!! We've not got a space like that to work in, we've been working in a tiny powerless council garage for half the project and the rest of it was done in a mates front garden! I'm paying an hourly rate to get all this done at my work and so far Pete has booked 25hrs+ with a bit of...
Well here it is the first of the mega big exciting updates as the car is now making it's way through the bodyshop for all the work we've been dying to get done since the hazy day i agreed to buy the questionable old french rocket in a pub beer garden.
To start off this is what we've been trying...
Glad you all like!!
Wayne I hope to have the panelwork done by the end of the week so i can get it into the paintshop next week and hopefully have it painted by the following weekend. It is all done in works time but due to some people taking the mickey in the past it's on the...
We hadn't raelly planned to post on this for a while but this landed today which is just too gorgeous not to post!!! Another great product from Streamline Carbon, Cheers Bic and Mervyn.
Very eagle eyed of you James! If you look between the wheels of the Clio you'll see the Lightboard with the nissan number plate on it which we were using but it fell down a short while after leaving.
I'm Hoping and praying that the Clio will be ready for Trax at Silverstone in September olly...
I can't begin to tell you how much i love that sunny, it was a present from my dad when i sold the corsa to pay for this project and i was struggling to get around more than i thought i would. Between this project and Moo's pitbike racing we've put that car through hell and it's never batted an...
LOL:D
So here it is sitting at work waiting for the prettyness to begin.
We've even got a job card:cool:
Cheers for looking as usual, we'll keep you informed of any progress.
Lets hope this doesn't take too long
Had a delivery of fluffy components which we think look pretty damn good. Many thanks to Suffolk flocking services for a top job for the price and in the time quoted.
Then back onto the meat and potatoes of the project! Started stripping more off it for its trip to paint.
Got...
Looks to me like it could be one of palmersports old corporrate cars as the seats are on rails and a few things look like they've been made that bit sturdier to cope with the punishment.
So glad everything finally came together for you after so much really crap luck and i'm glad your pleased with the fruits of your labour. Gonna bring it up Bedford some time show me how it's done? Lol
Cheers fella's your support is always welcome around here!
Danny, the bodyshell once everything is back out of it again is going to the local vauxhall dealership bodyshop where I work but unfortunately it'll still have to go through the books so i've put a few hundred to one side for that...
It does feel like that sometimes but the way we've done it is if we do all the work before paint it should just bolt together without much cutting or changing in a few weeks (famous last words) once its white. Hopfully not long now:)
Sorry about the lack of updates, circumstances have ment not a lot of photo worthy progress has been made of late. The weather has been aweful, we spent 1 day down whilton mill so I cound finally ride my pitbike and Beanie managed a 19 day run of solid working to pay for the project.
But we have...
Good luck with the project, sounds like you've got most evereything you'll need as long as you can get your head round the wiring. If you need any advise please don't hesitate to ask.
