Blimey, that was quite a read from the start to end...what a journey! Great thread! I found the thread from researching the compbrake brake setup you didn't get along with. I've been looking at one to use on my project as an option, along with a servo conversion and a few variations of both. OE...

Mad isn't it, basically they just hacked a shell apart and welded some stuff in. Badly. They took a standard Mk2 shell, whacked it on a jig and plasma cut half of it away. You can see on mine on the front end where they cut the front slam about to fit the bigger rad, they didnt even tidy the...

She understands it from her own house yeah :P i'm getting all of this done before she moves in and puts the brakes on haha. To be fair she did question the bucket seats and 2 sets of wheels in my bedroom cupboard but I cleared her a drawer for some weekend stuff and gave her a slot for her...

I built myself a huge garage after the big clearout, so big in fact I was sure i'd have all the space i'd ever need. So anyway, it's full now.... and i've built extra storage under the floor in my living room, with access trapdoors. I mean, wasted space otherwise right?

"Blueprinted" ...is it mate? Ah, cool.... what's blueprinting exactly? "......" *silence*

I have a little experience - non trader just in it for s***s and giggles and i've been up to 14 cars owned at once, though that was a few years back. I have settled down to 5 keepers and one or two in and out ad-hoc now. I can also keep everything at home, so I don't pay for storage. First off...

Thanks - worked hard for it, waited for over ten years to build it (Time, money, kids arrived, breakup, yada yada) and then took me another three to get it to the operational state its in now with a bunch of hard work and support from some amazing mates. Of course, there's a build thread lol...

Gravitex but probably for the wrong reasons. Gravitex is cheaper (but still an excellent quality product) It's also spray-on giving a nicer and thicker finish (see earlier pics in thread), IIRC the Bilt stuff is brush on. I am fortunate to have a very hefty 250L compressor though so I get...

Bagged some brand new old stock front indicator lenses from Greece this week. The original backing units should be OK to use after a clean.

Vapour blast, then give it a good coat of WD40, leave it for a couple of days then wipe dry. The WD will help prevent it going yuk again.

I retrieved some of the treasures I have stashed away in the loft over the years this weekend, it was to check I had what I thought I had....turns out I had more than I remember lol I found a new headlight backing mount online (still looking for the other side), so I dug out my new lights...

I did my own, not a Clio but similar trailing arm setup. I used parts off the web, a local blaster to sand blast the parts and hand painted it with Bilt Hamber Hydrate 80, then primer, then black metal paint. Cost me about a hundred quid all told.

I wouldn't fit one on any car, they have dampers fitted for a reason.

...and then decided to pull the engine and box. Typical steering balljoints stuck, had to get the OxyTurbo out Out she comes for the first time in my ownership (which started in 2002). Dropped the box off, then the turbo before I decided enough was enough. As an aside, this...

Evidence of old patches to pacify the MOT tester lol Found a bad bit on the OSF sill :( The intercooler bracket had disintigrated so I made a new one

Over the holidays I fancied getting the spanners out as a break to the bodywork on the 21, so this happened It's not mint, but it's not as bad as most I have seen

Oooof, thats not pretty. Typical, but pretty.

Fixed that for you mate

We will... ....are you guys wanting another one of these bad boys? Just so I know, they can be hard to come by at times.

Voted, currently 15% and in the lead, 2nd place is 14%, the rest are nowhere!

I'm headed toward that....found lots out there but nobody will ship to the UK. Suggested the next family holiday is Turkey, she seems open to it and seems oblivious to my sinister motives. "....Dave why are you taking six suitcases on holiday. Six....empty.....suitcases....."

After many years of parts shortages I always have my eyes open for new-old-stock, a bit like a dog is always ready to snatch that bit of food that just dropped on the floor :D I recall years ago taking the front bumper off the 9 and seeing the front crossmember a bit yukky - not perforating...

Oooof, thats all the birthdays and xmas's rolled into one! Lovely!

This is going to be comedy gold watching the Briggzenator squeeze in and out of this little rollerskate :D haha! Brilliant buy mate, defo needs 500hp.

I did mine for about £850. Paid out about £1280, sold the Clio leftovers to recoup, net cost £850. Build thread on the TurboRenault.co.uk

Out at the RS meet @ Caffeine and Machine... Common as muck these things :D

What a wonderfully old skool thing. Hope you get it back to a show standard.

Good day!

I was invited to the NEC Classic Car Show by the Renault Owners Club, so off we went. I did take the black plates off to put the standard ones back on just for @andybond but the front one has vanished out of the boot :( so the black ones went back on. Happy to report that after 3 days of being...
