He's a nice bloke too, let me pitch my tent next to his. (No that's not a metaphor)

You're old, aren't you.

I've just always used standard primer from a car part's shop, which I assume is fine for metal, as I've never had a problem. Plastic primer would be your problem, i.e normal halfords primer will be fine! I basically: Sand to f**k with whatever is necessary Finish this with 800 Primer If...

I can honestly say I've never thought of doing that... doh!

You've been drinking, haven't you.

I'm quite suprised at what you're saying tbh Biffy, seeing that you've spent a fair wedge on the 1.2. No offence Tom, but it's obvious you don't buy these car's with "driving" them being your priority. You like a car that looks good, you like the whole magazine scene and like a project, and...

We've all seen the ph1 gear knobs get a bit tatty, and as it seems not possible to do anything with them.... I was just wondering if it'd be possible to carbon wrap it? Any reason why not?

Huge roll of it? Really? Fancy cutting a brother a few sections? ;)

A very nice selection of motors, loved the exclusive, got a real soft spot for those.

Good stuff? Good stuff? You achieved something awesome with this car, can't believe you sold it!!! Now, as your punishment, write a full and comprehensive guide to doing the ITB conversion as you did.

Excellent mate, just what I wanted to hear!!! :) Thanks for the help and keep up the damn good work with the 172.

Can I buy it from anywhere mate?

It's dark as feck, wouldn't worry!!!

Do you ever sleep Willdot? Welcome to the club Heather.

Happened on my road car, with standard mounts, so it's a weak point on the Clio's. The stiffer mount surely just puts it under further stress?

Silver ph1? Winner!!!! Plans?

Welcome to the club mate, where in kent are you from. Plans sound good, as you see some examples through the forum you'll probably change what you want a bit, but it seems you're on the right track already.

Sell them both, buy a working 3G?

FLOLLERSKATES.... Dude, don't get rid!

Nice little write up, those must really be a weak point on the Clio's, mine went and I've never tracked it, just snapped in two places, luckily I noticed it before the third bolt sheared. Sounds like you got a good run at it, with limited problems this time :)

The only git selling william's alloys at the moment is WAY up north :( And even worse... prima racing only do 16's. FFS!!!!!

The bearing was so obvious I'd hope no one could miss it? LOL!

It's so easy to be wrong... lol.... You've already missed the compression nut and spacer.... (which would cause it to knock like f**k) trust me, I know.

Buy me some wheels and I'll take you some pics?

Bet it looks brilliant mate, any pics? Give me a shout if you're ever free to lend a hand with that exhaust mount drilling ;)

Just sat and read the whole thing from the beginning (I know I've commented before, but never read it all). Awesome work all the way through tbh, showing real dedication! A question though (painting related). How are you getting such clean lines with masking tape? I tried masking a lip on a...

I want original willy wheels on mine, in grey, p**n on ph1's IMO.

I'd go for either knackard top mounts, or top mount assembly put back wrong.

Where? I want to steal his wheels!

I've always wanted a friend called "Biffy" and on that basis, I'm in.
