UPDATE: So the car isn’t finished, and a little way off. But today my wife and I put a deposit on a tow vehicle... It seems I have a thing for green.

Looks like it went very well, testament to how well the car is built.

All makes sense. Cheers @Tomotek

Hi mate, Just looking at these bolts again and can't figure out what you mean. Looking at the bolt it looks normal and I can't see why changing this out wouldn't make a difference. Can you explain further before I order something and regret it.. ha

FYI Turns out the Calliper - calliper bracket bolts are way too long. These are noted on the sheet at 100mm But these are probably by 20mm to long. I am going to need to re-order these now.

UPDATE: With the focus to have as much/many of the interior items in as possible so I can work out the fuel and brake line routings I set about looking into those bits, For some of this to go back in though it needed some coats of paint. It is a little frustrating because it doesn't seem like...

UPDATE: It has been increasingly hard to get work done on the car recently, but progress has been made and albeit slow... progress is progress. I have had to settle for completing little jobs so I can easily dip in and out, all the jobs need doing though so if it doesn't matter on the order...

Such a great colour :tonguewink: Have I asked you about what exhaust that is? (I think I have)

Check out this thread, lots of chat about it and an image of the spreadsheet. https://www.cliosport.net/threads/nuts-and-bolts.814078/#post-11567380

UPDATE: Progress has been very slow. As previously mentioned there is an illness in the family and basically it completely f*cking sucks. It is escalating super quick and is just such a sad scenario. This is pretty much my whole focus at the moment and making sure I maintain the support that is...

I live literally just around the corner so maybe I'll pop by and say hello when you are at Simply race.

People don't understand how much of a fun job that is, so much fun you have done it twice now?

Have indeed now spoken to and received my fuel and brake lines from Mitch at Pro-line. cheers chap

Having done a bit of thinking I won't be going with spacers, I don't want to cause any potential for movement. I am just going to source new bolts for the inner 2 bolts on both sides, these will have to be 100mm.

Exactly this, after speaking with my neighbour, he said: They are heat treated after they have thread cut into them so are not very easy to cut new thread into, you will just end up making a mess or f*ck the die. I will be looking into new bolts for the inner 2 bolts on both sides. these will...

This was my thought I must admit about the movement, hence why I haven't ordered the spacers yet. I will look to see if I can get the thread cut higher first (neighbour is an engineer), then maybe look at longer threaded bolts before buying the spacers. Cap head head bolts so will need 2...

As thought, this was an issue. I need to space the 2 inner (on both sides) rear beam mount bolts upwards at least 15mm to be showing only thread. (see pic below) This will probably be done with stainless spacers like @scotiamr2t suggested above, the 19mm versions should be spot on, annoying...

UPDATE: So I planned to mount the rear beam up, however I anticipated an issue. Having looked at the rear beam mount bolts it looked like there wasn't enough thread to them and the clean part of the bolt sat to low. This was ok when on @Tomotek's car as he had the cage pick up point, but as mine...

OCD

Spot on, great knowledge chaps. Thats what I will be ordering then.

Thank you both.

UPDATED (continued): The fuel line will only have a bulkhead fitting at the bulkhead, and then at the rear will pass through a grommet in the fuel pump cover. I picked up the fuel pump cover from James (BigAsh) and then found the grommet in my spares. Perfect. The priority for the next...

UPDATE: With the shell ready, everything else needs to come together now to start bolt back on. One of the main priorities for this being the engine (obviously). Although looked after and visually tarted up the engine needed a service prior to going back into the car. In a previous post I had...

I haven’t put them on the car yet just looked at them against the old bolts and it looks very close to not enouugh thread - your cage pick-ups would of been an advantage in this situation. I will probably be offering it up today so will see

Hey @Tomotek I wanted to check if you had any issue with you chassis to rear beam mount bolts? Just looking at them it looks like there isn’t enough thread to them.

Mine SHOULD be coming with bulkhead fittings.. we will see next week.

UPDATED SPREADSHEET I have got bolts and washers on here also, just not marked up where they need to go yet, I also did not put M8's on here as already had plenty of them. I will be updating this list once I figure out what is needed where.

I did have an issue with Cromwells sending 2 lots of the wrong bolts though, hopefully that should be rectified when this order comes through. QFT6001083S M12x85 SKT HEAD CAP SCREW x4 I ordered the above, however I believe I have been sent QFT6001083R (marked on the bag and shown in photo...

Looks 10x better on the darker wheels. Also awaiting my fuel and brake lines from Mitch. Hopefully this week.

Tell me about it.... 7 moves, this will be the 8th and a 9th will follow. But 8 is to be on-site of the renovation of 9.... pretty exciting. The car hasn’t moved all of those times, but not far off.
