Got abit more done engine wise lastnight Got a peice of card and numbered it 1-16, then got cracking on taking the valves out, never done this before but once told how to do it i was away first 8 out with no problems The tool in use Took me about 2hrs to get all of them out...

yes prob but im now concidering going for naples red with white lettering as i think that the white will just look overpowering. Juat went and got some of that fasmask too but it wasnt called that and cost me £5.50 think that might have to go back too if i dont use it

Cant exactly paint them on as dont know were to get naples red paint from bet they dont even do it

Would there be anything i could add to the paint to make it thiker but not make the paint go funny, think the best way to do it would be like as said, were can i get it from and howmuch.

sounds like a good idea, were do i get this stuff from and wots it called, think i used this stuff in art at high school. I was going to paint it white and then once dry, spray the naples red into a tray then roller it on or take my time and mask it up or might give nathj a pm as he knows wot...

Yes and no, the plenum itself is going to be white and have naples red writing, think im going to stick with the white and naples theme for now ill figure out how to do the lettering when i get to it, any ideas of how to do it

Third and final coat of paint went on, thank god for that it takes ages dabbing it all on. Waited till it was fully dry a few hours later with the help of the electric heater, then coverd the master cylinder and were the engine mount goes with paper masked off at the top, i then let loose with...

Par 2/2 Had the day off monday due to the bad weather, that didnt stop me from going into the garrage and craking on with the car even though it was freezing, not to worry though coz i got one of these to keep me warm. Got the firt coat of hammerite on, starting to look better Next...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project I struggle getting in your car now and look like an idiot doing it, wounder wot id be like getting in it with the x bars. Maybe its coz im tarded lol :o

placed my order for the soft pedal conversion before, should be here in the next few days

Hopefully every thing will be ok if its put back together and then doesnt work im not going to be a happy chappy

if you get williams wheels for a standard mk1 clio rsi you might just get away with it as they are 7" wide, if you go any lower they may just fit but you might be rubbing the arch. The valver and williams have wider arches

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Looking good , good job

lol just lol. i could find a 101 more interesting things to do with it, than to track a 1.2 :rasp:

I think an update is in order. part 1/2 Got the coilovers back the other day from them being milled, holes enlarged by 1mm overall to take the 172 hub bolts. Big thanks to whiteley for coming down over the weekend and bringing this lot down I can now make a start on preping things, Still...

Ha ha good point, im sure itll be fine but if it gets any worse ill just end up cutting it out and putting fresh in

If you have a look in my thread im doing the f4r (172 conversion) at the moment big list of stuff, nothing compared to some... yet ;) If you pay a tenner you get a sticker and a nice bottle opener too and some other cs stuff soon you'll be askin for the wider arches lol
