Been stripping the iceberg shell for parts for this so no real progress but im finally ready to start swapping parts over !
Fuel lines and brake lines were cut on the shell so it was either go abs delete or strip the abs system and brake lines and this is what ive done. Fuel lines are also now...
Whats the best way to attack this ? Ive never had any luck with easy outs , probably because its a cheap set from halfords.
What have people done ? Assuming im not the first to have this issue 😂😂🤫🤫
I need to fit ABS pump and it doesnt have the cage nuts in the body for the bolts. Any ideas what part number might be for these ?
Not my car but showing location
I am just trying to install a matrix into my white shell which is totally stripped , just seen it looks like you have fixed it in place at the top as mine is sagging. Need to look at doing something similar to your matrix , looks good tony
I couldnt see anything , i know the original sound deadning probably helped keep it in position but appears
Ive not put the metal frame back in yet which the dash loom is connected to , not sure if this keeps it in place , i dont have the sound deadning in either
I was struggling to get both tops bolts in where the scuttle is , one is quite long and one is quite short with the top cover to fit in the scuttle. Cant rememeber if there was any fixing locations inside which would make it easier to stay in place otherwise i will have to get somebody to keep...
I know there are 2 bolts inside scuttle to remove / install.
Are there any bolts on the inside ? I'm trying to fit matrix into my white shell but it seem to sag down at the top.
Has anyone got a diagram showing the fixing points or do i need to do something else as i dont have sound deadning etc
Been away with work , 5 hour drive back today , had an hour on this for abit of fresh air.
Carried on with the dash removal so i can take the heater matrix.
Wiper linkage removed and washer bottle to allow disconnection of the engine loom and dash loom.
Are 172 and 182 dash looms the same ...
Started stripping the interior on the iceberg , i will be taking anything i need which will be quite alot 😂.
Got a full flocked dash but i think i will only install top half.
Only spent an hour as itwas raining and dark outside !
Top half out , not removed in 10 years so had to look with...
I did see this , might be worth a try first , if its no good and leaks i will have to get the professionals in ! The car is probably going to be used more on the road so not to bothered about going poly windows , i dont know if they are any easier to fit
Can see the floor again ! Planning to fit heater matrix from the iceberg shell once i get the dash out then look at fitting the abs and brake lines from it.
I cant make out on the windows i have second hand has bond on them or do the windows have something on them and then bond , i couldnt make it out if it just bond which has gone hard , should the glass have nothing on the rear and just the glass ? I will take a pic when im next at the garage
Bad times , my shell didnt come with windows as it had plastic windows which got sold.
I reckon i need to either get them fitted professionally or fit plastic rear windows 🤔
Ive just been looking at the glass i have and there is no form of seals on them , the originals on my silver shell apear to have some form of factory seal.
Need to fit 2 rear quarter glass to my white shell.
I have 2 windows from a cup , i cant make out if the windows have a seal or it is just the original bond 🤔
Whats best to use to bond them ? Tiger seal ?
Engine and gearbox removed from my iceberg clio , this will be going into my red shell.
Need to give it a clean up and some paint prior to installing , powder coat was done about 10 years ago so could do with redoing anyway !
A bit more progress today , got a couple of hours in.
Managed to get the engine out , was abit of a pain purely due to lack of room , block paving and gravel but its out !
Quick question, the end casing on gearbox , can this be removed to paint or is just best to paint in situe ?
