Your going to be detailing the engine bay as well as the body work now!
What’s the spec of the engine?

 

[Jimbob 2705]

Hit me up if you want to swap for a Meg 250 once it’s done haha

[haimsey]

Beautiful. Done a good job there?

 

[Chambers_RS]

Few more parts ordered to make progress.

 

[JP83]

Looks incredible. The only bit that lets it down for me is the cylinder head.

It’s not finished don’t worry.

 

[Coops Mk1]

Looking banging

 

[Chambers_RS]

So engine is nearly done. Just needs the cam cover sealing, timing up, flywheel, clutch and gearbox on and it can be swung back in once I’ve ran some new front brake lines.

Next I need a cage so I’ve tidied me garage and jacked the car up high so I can start the prep for this.
I want seat rails welding in for the drivers side too and I need to finially fit my PMS axle strengthening kit and bearing conversion kit. I have PMS caster tops mounts too but not sure about getting these fitted just yet.

Car is jacked up on axle stands now so progress can start at least.

[Chambers_RS]

Come back to work from holiday to boxes and boxes of parts ?

 

[Chambers_RS]

Rear beam has been stripped of all suspension and brakes. Brake lines removed completely front to rear awaiting a Proline kit from Mitch @Pro-Line Motorsport.

Typically the bolts that hold the rear beam on on the driver side are just spinning ??

May look at the PMS rear brake kit and Antiroll bar ?.

 

[green]

I’ve been looking at that rear brake kit too?
Be good to hear your thoughts on it if you do go for it...also looking forward to the new spec Clio ??
Good luck with the rest of the build..bit of weld will stop those nuts from spinning!!

 

[vroomtshh]

The billet stub axle kit or a different one?

[Chambers_RS]

Yeah that’s the one.

 

[vroomtshh]

See if there's discount available on 2 kits ?

 

[haimsey]

This build just keeps getting mega, gonna be mint when done!

 

[Chambers_RS]

Finially got the rear axle off yesterday.

Painted the rear calipers

Cleaned the brake reservoir up as I’m still waiting for my proline kit!

Took delivery of the PMS rear stub axle kit too. Looks a decent kit.

Painted the Volvo alternator mount

 

[haimsey]

PMS kit looks a lovely bit of kit

 

[Chambers_RS]

Volvo alternator mount fitted and cylinder head first coat of paint.

Hope your kit from Pro line turns up. I've seen so many people complain about his delivery to me and just lying about posting.

He did the exact same to me, claimed he'd posted when he hadn't. If you're going to lie about something, do it where the customer CAN'T see when the item was posted on the envelope ffs.

Argh your joking. I was having doubts as he told me the lines were made last week and waiting on the bias valve to land. Then it was meant to be with me Friday and now it’s going to be today/tomorrow. I was hoping it was just me ?
Knew I should of just made my own.

Email Mitch at proline today asking for a tracking number and got no reply. Really hope they come tomorrow with no issue.
Can’t believe I’ve had to wait so long considering @Nafoff has had really good service from him from what I can see from reading his thread.

In my experience Mitch very rarely replies to text so I usually call him. I had my brake lines a long time ago (probably February/March and was not in a rush so didn't really experience any inconvenience. I know he posted something on instagram today of a load of envelopes so hopefully one set was yours

PS, that volvo mount looks lovely...

 

[Nathan Evans]

My kit took longer to arrive than quoted, 80% of the kit didn’t fit at all. The front brake lines were to short, one was to long, the brake line to the hydro handbrake was to short, from T piece to bulkhead fitting was ok, then from that bulk head fitted to the calliper was way to short.

So in all the front kit got binned and I managed to make the rear kit work with grommets.

After me and a few other complained he did redesign the kit but we didn’t get it

 

[Usr117063]

I know its been ordered but for future check out http://atecautotechnic.co.uk/en/

Service is as you would expect and the quality of the fittings are top quality. http://atecautotechnic.co.uk/ATEC Catalogue 2014.pdf

It’s beautiful. Justified. Go buy it.

 

[Adamxx]

Just read your whole thread, awesome work!

Pretty sure I remember your Ibiza from SCN. I was a regular on there a few years ago with my mk1 Leon’s.

 

[donnylad]

how come the rear axle was removed? are you painting it or replacing / modifying it? sorry if it has been covered already

Thanks
Yeah I was on there for a while as I had a black ibiza cupra before and still have my K1.

I remember your Leon was mega show car, total opposite to your Clio being a mega track car

I’ll try and get find my scales but they look awesome and serve a point with the bigger bearings so just buy them ?

The bushes are knackered so welding in bearings and strengthening kit.
