Just a small little update. Not been out at the car as much due to work and weather. Got another couple of layers of anti rust gel and then more anti rust primer on the inner sill. Just needs a light sand and a coat of inferno on top of it to tidy it up. To be honest its hidden behind the...

So got more of the inner sill back to bare metal this morning and added hammerite rust remover gel. Attacked again with the wire brush and dremel attatchments and then a good clean out and it was time for its 1st coat of anti rust primer. Will give another 2 coats throughout the day and then...

It will be remaining somewhat track focussed but I'm going for more of a toned down cleaner look. Still capable on track but more sort of clubsport esque Basically wanting it back to a previous state that it once was before it started getting butchered. 🤦 Back to looking like this but will...

Well thats just it mate. I have held off for too long so now its time to take the car off the road for a bit and set about getting everything done before anything gets worse. Will be a long process but will be worth it..... I hope 😂😂

Set about the driver side inner sill with some wire brush drill bits. And got it cleaned up. Between this and removing the wrap on the other side or the car this took most of the day untill I had to quickly do the school run. Inner sill is cleaning up nicely just need to get some rust...

After a few messages to a good friend @Stu. at renomotive he soon gave me the advice to get into the rear quarters to check the inner sills as that way i would find out if this project is even worth continuing. So i did.... Then i remembered someone who previously owned this car....for some...

After a long hard think i was still undecided on what to do. So after a bad family related end to last year things to do with the car got really neglected. New year came and I decided to go out to the car, Alternator seems to have a siezed pulley, heaters have stopped working and the dash was...

Well well well it looks like i have neglected this thread once again. Yes my bad 🤦. So much for "watch this space" in my previous update 🙄 Alot has happened since my last post but not for the best unfortunatly 🤦😢 So following on from my previous update, Yes the inferno was once again a blank...

Hi looking for a bit of advice/help The daily dci100 mk2's aircon has packed in and the pulley is absolutely knackered wobbling and rattling to the extent that its destroying belts. Was wondering if there is a diy removal to get rid and just use a different pulley and belt similar to what can...

Thanks man! 🤘

Another little update. Started a wire tuck on the rear passenger side interior and removed some un-needed wires and washer hose. Ill need to get a pic or that now its finished. But on another note... Theyre were some bits of the wrap on the car that were bugging me. Imperfections etc...

So another little job to add to the list. My towing eyelet decided to go awol 🙄 So bought some of the MSA Wire tow hooks. At first was wondering how the hell they were going to fit but noticed a hole in the front chassis legs that could be useable. M10 8.8 Tensile bolts, Nyloc nuts and...

So the abs sensor was of course a pain! 1st of all the old one was totally siezed into the hub 🤦 Decided to get barbaric and cut the top off and then the bottom at either sides of the hub and chap the magnet through carefully without hitting the abs ring thankfully this went to plan 👌 what...

Hahaa ye the cars been sitting outside over winter. Thats the worst those dampers have looked 🤦

Yeaah its my front coilover. Unfortunatly doesnt have the bracket for the abs sensor to secure too

Looks like i found my issue. Front driverside abs sensor has been rubbing away and now all buffed through and damaged. New one was picked up today and now onto a job im really not looking forward to doing. Have a feeling removing the old sensor from the hub will be a ballache

Kept looking at the above photo of the bumper being off and couldn't help but think the front crash bar looks a little scruffy! Nothing some underseal cant sort! Much better! Speaking of sorting things though.... An issue has appeared 🤦 Took the car for a drive to see how everything feels...

Well thats the service done and dusted! New fresh engine and gear box oil, plugs and leads air filter reconditioned. Also took delivery of some brackets and a roll of some neoprene edging to make an air dam for my splitter. Pretty happy with how its turned out. 1 week to go to till...

So been a while since i have updated this! Car has been off the road since September just due to not wanting to use it during the winter months. Been beneficial though as its postponed my mot to a better time rather than the week before Xmas. So last weekend it passed its mot with one advisory...

Well thats a relief 😂 I have a spare clock so that will solve that issue 👌. I never noticed when i bought it but took it for a drive there and was like "well thats, not right 😂"

Soooooo.... Change of plans all together. The little 1.2 8v now looks like this. Yes back to standard and also it is now gone. I know it was a good little shell and all that but it was far too bloody boring to drive. No power what so ever and so basic i felt like it near put me to sleep...

So since being off work with covid. Boredum got to me 😂 So out to the shed and set about fitting all the sport kit bits i had accumulated at the end of last year. The rear bumper and driver side skirt are mondial blue so stick out like a sore thumb but the car will be wrapped soon once...

Clio 182 cup Just outside Dundee, Scotland Local track is Knockhill.

Happy for you mate! You'll be glad its finally done 👌 looks fantastic.

Done a bit of digging around in the shed. I knew i had some somewhere, 60mm lowering springs to be fitter now And today this come in the post 👌 A new bacl box for the done on a budget daily 😂

I may do it at a later date but its just effort 😂

Well thats a sport interior acquired and fitted this weekend. Goodbye Grandad spec cream interior, wasn't my cup of tea at all, Guaranteed if i parked outside the bingo with classic fm playing some 60 year old would be creaming all over the cream spec shedder but as tempting as that sounds I...

So just a few subtle tidy ups. Spare sport front grill fitted Dynamique spoiler Silver interior trim pieces And a brighter boot light. Was going to swap over the glovebox boot light but.... It doesnt have one and the wiring isnt there either 😂 poverty spec! Next will probably be swap...

Ohh no 🙈 hopefully i dont have that issue. i will probably give it a quick oil change in the next couple of days or so.

😂 I realised that shortly after buying the car 😂 was going for overtakes as if I was in the 182 and yeah... Overtakes and sliproads take ages to get upto speed
