    Mk1 Clio 1.8 16v AKA TOU

    There isn't really a budget as such as there isn't really a time scale to get it done. I sort of just find out the next step & how much it costs then save up for that bit and move on. If I was working to a time scale i wouldn't have been able to do it, like the majority of people I'm by no means...

    Mk1 Clio 1.8 16v AKA TOU

    Here are the panels I've got to replace the rotten areas. I have 2 sets of new sills but they're buried in two different garages so no photos of them. Also 2 sets of new front inner wing panels, i couldn't reach the other set but you get the idea. With these panels I'm assuming they will...

    I know exactly what you're saying. Engine wise it will defiantly be on bodies. I've wanted one since 'Clio Lords' way back when. The full track thing might go out the window. I've got everything needed for both directions so time will tell.

    Mk1 Clio 1.8 16v AKA TOU

    That's pretty much the jist of it. The rear windows will be sealed ones from a lower spec. The only thing would be where the cage mounts but that's relatively easy to change if I ever put it back to full stock interior.

    Mk1 Clio 1.8 16v AKA TOU

    High comp bodies f7r with the jc5 lsd box. Remove sunroof. Bolt in cage. A bit of a 'modern' back road car a bit Track oriantated. Outside just o.e. Having said that. Going to all this effor makes me want to restore it to factory spec. So it's still a bit up in the air.

    No otherwise it needs a full dip & strip again.

    Mk1 Clio 1.8 16v AKA TOU

    As long as it takes really. As long as it doesn't get soaking wet or oils on it. It gets re dipped, a light media blast & then epoxy primer/e coat. so the surface rust it will get from being stud in the garage is irrelevant, unless it takes like 20 years.

    Mk1 Clio 1.8 16v AKA TOU

    I don't know if I've fell lucky with it but it seems once all the craps gone it isn't that bad. My theory was the paint is going to cost the same regardless, but these cars are known for rotting inside out. Dipping seemed to be the best way to prevent the rust coming through again over a media...

    Mk1 Clio 1.8 16v AKA TOU

    Well since last time I've been collecting panels for areas i thought would be rotten through. So far I've not done too bad I've managed to get my hands on most of them. Ill upload photos of them later, but next up is something I've been very anxious about for a while. THE BARE METAL MK1 CLIO...

    Cheers mate! So do I, very apprehensive of how it will turn out. If I have no holes or very little in the floor ill be winning.

    Mk1 Clio 1.8 16v AKA TOU

    yeh I already had the scoop and the v6 air box previous when it was running, this one is a larger air box & scoop with the tb box fitting under the standard slam panel & being able to use 120mm trumpets, as my bodies are very short...

    Mk1 Clio 1.8 16v AKA TOU

    Thanks mate. I've just learnt it all by having a go watching a few videos etc etc. I have a trust issue where this car is concerned so I'd rather me have a go and take twice as long than give my hard earned cash up to someone I don't know that could just hide all their mistakes. If that makes...

    Mk1 Clio 1.8 16v AKA TOU

    Cheers mate so do I. Very nervous. I've seen cars that have came out of the bath but I've never seen them before it so I don't know how rough they looked in paint. I keep telling myself it's relatively solid it will be fine.

    Mk1 Clio 1.8 16v AKA TOU

    so bit of an update, i had the day off from work yesterday to finish off stripping my car down ready for chemical dipping. This is now the point of no return. Im very apprehensive of what it will come back like, I could end up with less than half the car who knows! Anyway here are some images...

    Mk1 Clio 1.8 16v AKA TOU

    So over the chrismtas period i had booked the car in for dipping to strip all the paint & rust/crud off of the car.
