Thanks man [emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

My ph1 after lots of body and metal work. More pics can be found in my project thread. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Steering wheel release has been changed over since that pic was taken. Only track day booked so far is the weekender in blyton this year. That's been the aim for getting ready although hoping to get a few shake down days in before hand. Finished pictures will follow once everything is...

Never realised it been over a year since I last updated this Car is now in final stage of prep to be road worthy again just needs alignment and few other things. I'l try put up some pictures I have took over the year. I'l leave my Instagram tag as loads of pictures can be found there also...

Some more progress done this weekend Got all sound deadening out from inside car and engine bay. Started stripping off the paint inside too. What a job this is to do! Anyone know where I could get the car soda blasted in Scotland?? Still need to cut out passenger side sill to get a...

Love an E type!

That's good number man. I only have a safety device bolt in cage so if I get close to your weight I'll be happy lol

Also got engine and box out last night to inspect where the oil leak is coming from. I think it's from the seal on the gearbox but won't be sure until I split them.

tbh when i got my donor shell i did think about just moving everything across to save time and work but as im in no real rush to get it done and want it to be a learning project too ive decided to keep the ph1 shell to work on and build up. Dont get me wrong would be far less hassle just to...

Thanks man. its a good project to take on as i love the car so it will be getting everything it needs plus a few more things 😂

ive not had it weighed as of yet no. once built back up with engine, cage etc im hoping to be in the low 900s :smirk:

I've seen more rusty mk2s than ph1 tbh but the might just be up my way. I hope after fixing it I will have years of enjoyment out of it :)

Yeah there seems to be a lot getting scrapped just now :( Haha will be surprised if mine will sell for much

Looks more work than it is really. Just a lot of cutting and welding and then bodywork. Will be glad once it's done right enough lol

Thanks man. Will be long and hard work but worth it to keep another ph1 alive

Saving it as most ph1 nowadays get scrapped or reshelled that's why there is hardly any now. Gives more sense of accomplishment working hard to save it rather than scrapping and using another shell. You don't buy a new pair of shoes just because you broke a lace to do?

Yeah it won't be easy but least I will know it's been done and rot free

Made a start on the drivers side sill over the weekend. Outer sill was rotten but inner sill is solid so all good! Been quiet with this recently due to work commitments but hopefully get more done now and get it out on track soon!

So not much happened of late due to the festive period and being crazy busy at work. Still managed a few things to get checked off the "to do" list. Fuel tank out ready for plasma cutting and welding of the sills Heater matrix out Removed coolant and steering bottles for cleaning Sheeted up...

Not much of an update but things have happened. Still not made a start on replacing the rot but have sourced another car to take parts from to start the repairs... it's the thought that counts :lol: Things done to date: All interior wiring loom out Dash fully stripped bar the heater matrix...

Will defo be out on track more next year ;) More weight will be lost too and will also be tidying up a lot inside too :)

So managed to get a good look at the sills tonight and after a good look it has been said to me that they can be fixed. It's all outside rust nothing structural although it looks bad it will be save able :) Also when I was in the unit got most of the inside stripped out ready for welding...

Won't be anymore that £100 lol! I might be up tonight if I'm not working the mora

Need someone to have a proper look at it tbh and tell me if it can be saved. Managed to source a cheap shell just incase and apparently it's rust free but will see when I look at it this weekend. Nah didn't bother going to Renault about a shell

If I did that it would just end up all over the floor haha. Will get pics of the actual 1/4s and sills this weekend

Sorry for the lack of posts but been really busy at work. Got the Clio into the unit and stripped down to see what I was dealing with. Both sills and rear quarters are gone. Drivers side floor looks to be rotten too. Really need to have a rethink on what my options are with this now. Want to...

Suppose power figures depend on other mods too. I'm happy with it just now and drives so well

I'm looking forward to next year already lol! In the unit? How you mean 😂

Thanks man :)

Yeah I don't want to split or scrap it as it's a flamer lol. Not many left I believe. The sills did look "ok" until I took the skirts off and then my worst fears were confirmed. As for the tow strap. I just mounted it to the crash bar for quickness as I needed it for track. Not sure how strong...
