Whilst mine was out, we cleaned it up first and then treated the rusty bits to a rust remover gel.
Once that was cleaned off and dried, we simply painted it by brush with a high temp paint.
Big session last night. No, no, no. Not the gym.
Returned to Chris' unit last night. Chris cracked on with more welding whilst me and Steven did some work on the car.
Yes, I actually did some work. Amazing.
Front suspension and brakes are all on, along with the studs.
Unfortunately the...
50/50 Lol
Really hoping it will make it. I do need to get a passenger seat though.
I told Steven he could drive it on track. So he said he would, at 15mph, whilst batting away the other cars with his arms out the window, and screaming "GET AWAY" 😂
Renault Wolverhampton would be the best place to start.
Renault parts direct list the splitter, and that's £188 alone!

The SX kit is the genuine renault kit @Typhoon
I think it's only available from Renault, unless you happen to find a clio being broken with the kit on it.
Suppliers like renaultpartsdirect.co.uk also sell it
So it's been a while.
Car is still at chris' unit. Custom Cages lost the first test piece he dropped off to them, so he had to send another, and redo the paperwork.
Went up Friday night to get the seating position, rails, and harness plates arranged, so Chris has been cracking on with those...
Condolences Dano and sorry for your loss. I think it'd be a fitting memory to your dad to get the bike back to it's former glory and have a blast on it for your old man.
So the car went to Chris' unit last weekend.
Garage is a bit emptier now. Pile of crap to make it look not so empty...
As of now, Chris has racked in the main hoop, main legs (a pillar), screen bar, the 2 rear downward bars, and rear strut top collars. Photos courtesy of Chris.
Custom...
Nope. Me and a mate changed the rear beam bushes on mine recently. The worst bits were the brake lines, as the unions tend to turn to cheese. A proper set of brake flared spanners would've been ideal!
Re: the nuts holding the beam to the chassis. The tops of the bolts are inside the car and can spin. If they do, you'll need a mate with a pair of mole grips to hold them from inside the car.
Plenty of penetration fluid on them beforehand as well.
@RyG I'm looking at a snap-off boss (purely because I've found it a bit of a squeeze getting my delicious derriere into the bucket seat with the wheel on).
Snap-off boss' include: Sparco, Lifeline, B&G, Moto Corsa (the last 3 can be picked up from Demon Tweeks, etc).
Driftworks have a nice one...
You're probably right. It wasn't difficult to put he new bolt in. Just a bit fiddly.
Should be easier though only having to bolt up one end this time though!
Found it. It's the pinch bolt (I couldn't find) for the steering rack to connect to the column.
Reckon I need to use his or will the stainless but and bolt I fitted suffice?
Holy thread bump Batman!
But I am missing the top brackets for my rad. I'm running without A/C (but the car had it originally). Which brackets do I need?
