Just had abit of a sort out yesterday to see what I have and what I need.

Alternator is seized , so if anyone has one please let me know.

I need a gearbox , so if anyone has one please get in touch.

No ABS pump or lines , still declining whether or not to get rid and run no abs , I reliase I wont have a speedo that works then.

I dont think there are any fuel lines installed definitely dont have the one connected to the rail and dont recall seeing them connected at the pump. Any ideas where i can get these from apart from Renault ?

Bought the engine aswell , I'm going to repaint it as it's been sat in storage and want to paint the block a different colour. Any recommendation on paint to use?

This is how it looks currently , will need to get a cambelt fitted at some point. It did have new cambelt and dephaser pulley fitted but the car has then just been left in storage

Subframe stripped down and PAS rack removed ready for EPAS rack.

One of the front arm bolts is bent , not sure if that was already like that or from the struggle to remove as it was seized all the others came out easily.

Planning to get subframe powder coated , black or red , thinking black at the moment.

Started removing the orange paint from the block , got alot removed but think i need some paint stripper to remove the last of it.

Not sure what colours to go with for intake manifold etc with the white bay 🤔

I was hoping i would have had engine and gearbox in by now ! Dropped off the subframe 29th october and got it back lastnight ! Not ideal ! Need to get it rolling then attach flywheel , clutch and gearbox.

Biggest problem is lack of bolts , previous owner ripped the car apart so missing lots of parts and bolts.

I know the 3 are the centre bearing suppprt for driveshaft.

Are any of these for gearbox ? Engine is on the stand at my parents house with gearbox at the moment but have been searching for a complete set of gearbox bolts to no avail.

Not sure if to purchase some cup shocks for the front and rear as the original suspension could do with a refresh as if they are original they uave done 50k , i know afew people have said about bilstein b14 , i think this car will get used mainly for fast road set up and im not planning to install any hard bushes or mounts so its not to harsh on the roads.

I know its not going to be quiet with the lack of interior or sound deadening anywhere.

Could do with a set of turinis or 2118 in white 😛

Quick question, the end casing on gearbox , can this be removed to paint or is just best to paint in situe ?

Started stripping the interior on the iceberg , i will be taking anything i need which will be quite alot 😂.

Got a full flocked dash but i think i will only install top half.

Only spent an hour as itwas raining and dark outside !

20210119_165458.jpg

Top half out , not removed in 10 years so had to look with the torch what needed unscrewing.

20210119_174811.jpg

Bottom half out and in the spare room 😂

20210119_175144.jpg

Been away with work , 5 hour drive back today , had an hour on this for abit of fresh air.

Carried on with the dash removal so i can take the heater matrix.



Wiper linkage removed and washer bottle to allow disconnection of the engine loom and dash loom.
Are 172 and 182 dash looms the same ? Was planning to install this into my 182 .

Depends what it is , im using my iceberg as a donor car for the white and red one but may have some bits leftover at the end 🙈
Well a few things, manual steering column, hpas steering rack, that big sound proofing around matrix, full aircon blower setup.

Also regarding looms, I think you will be alright if they were both full aircon climate control cars originally. I had a 172 cup interior loom with a standard 182 engine bay loom, just needed some pins changing around for cup blower.

Been stripping the iceberg shell for parts for this so no real progress but im finally ready to start swapping parts over !

Fuel lines and brake lines were cut on the shell so it was either go abs delete or strip the abs system and brake lines and this is what ive done. Fuel lines are also now removed and fitted to this , had to drop the tank to get at one line.

Abs pump cant be fitted until i get some replacement cage nuts as the ones on the iceberg shell broke on removal of bolts.
