Away For Winter

[MarcB]

Well thats the clio away for the winter as its been away, got fixed and its done nothing but rain for the last 5 days in Edin so just before i popped it into the garage i gave it a quick wash while the rain was off and then put the standard airbox back on along with the engine cover.

 

[Adamm.]

Nice, what you driving over the winter?

 

[Daniel]

What do you drive during the winter months then Marc?

 

[Matthew]

Engine bay looks very clean!

 

[MarcB]

Ford Puma 1.6 16v, The escort and clio are in the garage but the Escort is coming out next saturday for its MOT

 

[Rs-172-cup]

Looks clean mate! Yea rained for days in west lothian temped to put mine away

 

[DB.]

Looking smart! Any reason you don't drive it over winter?

 

[MarcB]

Altho its just been fully wax under-sealed and protected i just dont like the road salt and the constant rain rotting the car away.
I dont mind popping down and getting it on a sunday for a drive if its dry but i have a shed of a puma thats a 2001 with 60K on the clock that sits and is only used for the dogs so i may aswell start using this as its sits 6 days a week outside the house doing nothing

Marc, Have you ever noticed how dirty your engine mount / bracket and bolts are?

Also, 6x9s on the parcel shelf? Get a standard shelf in there!

 

[Lawro]

Looks tidy! Hibernating 2 cars, that's dedication!

That expansion tank cap upsets me though.

 

[Bobby.]

6x9's, come on mate, it's not 2001

 

[.GAZ.]

LOL!

 

[BREMBO]

Looking good, future classic! Jealous you have storage!

Hope you didnt use one of those brushes when you were washing it mate

The 6x9's are not mine, They where bought on ebay for the guy at my work who has a clio also.
My rear parcel shelf is sitting on my back seat.

The Engine mount is going to be taken off and cleaned up and either painted or powder coated

Looks tidy! Hibernating 2 cars, that's dedication!

That expansion tank cap upsets me though.

Just for you i will get a different coolant bottler cap

6x9's, come on mate, it's not 2001

As above they are not mine and not staying in my car.

Looking good, future classic! Jealous you have storage!

No brush was used and it was just foam and hot water with some bilberry alloy wheel cleaner for the wheels.

Im happy with how my exhaust is sitting and i dont fancy dripping any holes in the plastic brackets under the back bumper.

its 100 times better than what it was.

Need a good detail does that! Proper polish and your plastics need treating properly.

Looking good! The Renault Sport lettering on top of the engine is screaming out to be painted black or yellow, however.
