All will be reviled once it's complete, although you could probably work it out from the pic with the part number on it ?
It's a Metal 2 Racing shifter (on Facebook), similar to the CAE shifter.
Thanks, no handbrake !, don't need it on a track car ?

Hehe I was looking at those duct about a month ago.. didn’t want spend what they wanted. Not this in particular but similar. Even tried make my own (melting and bending gutter pipe) but looked to ghetto to fit to a track car haha. So resorted to a slightly different solution. Will update my thread once finished

The other day i decided i would start on the rear brake lines, starting of inside the car.....
But then i thought nah.... i'll paint it so i can get the inside finished off. Did some masking and then started spraying with rattle cans but after 3 cans i had had enough and my finger tip was numb, plus the coverage from utter sh*te....
SO i bought a cheap HVLP spray gun and some Ford Diamond White 2K paint.....
It's by no means perfect but for a first time HVLP spray job and it being just a track car interior it will do! Then I started the interior rebuild....
Rollcage is fully fitted now, all bolts torqued up marked with torque/nut security paint.
I'll be moving onto wiring next before getting the car back up on axle stands for the rear end strip down and rebuild. Plus a few other goodies to fit ?

You might want to remove the door bars, working on the inside will be a nightmare with them in especially making lines/looms etc
Tiny update....
New KTR race engine mounts
New shifter ?
I've also got a roof scoop and some CM Composite door cards to fit.

DIY, designed myself and had it 3D printed. It houses 10x 10mm LED lights. However, i think it might be too big. Also, that's not its final resting place, it's actually going underneath where it is now.
The shifter is a Metal 2 Racing shifter from Italy https://www.facebook.com/racingM2/. As far as i know i'm the only one in the UK to have one. I bought it as an alternative to the PMS one and it looks the dogs b****cks !
Clio 182 Trophy
I'm guessing there is some form of cover for the shifter? That is one massive hole ?
I will be purchasing one, similar to this... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Convoluted-Rubber-Gear-Stick-Cover-Gaiter-/272047280859
Solid and tight ! Not a straight forward bolt and play tho.
Been working on the rear end lately. Cleaned the fuel tank and removed the rear beam/suspension/brakes ready for sandblasting and powder coating.
Some bits of the bodywork to address under there while it's all out but nothing major ?

Don't worry everyone...... i am still building this ?
Haven't really done any work on the car due to home DIY projects, children and hopefully a short life changing event. But i have been collecting bits......
First thing was a set of Gaz Gold coilovers, 2nd hand, 12 months old and only done approx. 600 miles. They have 600lbs springs on the front and 350lbs on the rears.
Now from the last pic you probably noticed a couple of other bits i purchased, 2nd hand Pure Motorsport strut brace (not pictured) with top mounts and a @NorthloopCup roll centre/bump steer corrector kit
More money....... Pure Motorsport 22mm ARB, rear beam stiffening kit and front wishbone stiffening plates.
I suppose the only actual bit of work I've done is rebuild the front calipers......
I'm itching to get back out in the workshop and get it back together. A while ago i was seriously thinking of throwing in the towel as it seems never ending but i went and sat in it and it made me change my mind. It got me proper excited about driving it and getting it out on the track.

Soooooooooo, an update......
I've been working on the rear lately, as and when I can. With the rear beam off, there was some tidying to do on the underside. Some light rust patches, gone with a wire brush, treated and then sprayed over with some Hammerite. Fuel tank refitted with new bolts. I sand blasted the exhaust mounts and got new nuts and washers. New rear beam mounting bolts have arrived to replace the original ones, I went for M10 12.9 High Tensile Allen Bolts.
Next on my to do list was getting the rear beam ready for the PMS stiffening kit and black series polybushes. First job was getting the old bushes out. What a faff that was !!! I tried my bearing remover/press but wouldn't go over one end of the bush so I got out the blow torch 🔥 ! I also broke 3 drill pieces trying to drill it out but eventually i won.
Next up was removing all the old bits of metal no longer needed from the rear beam now I've gone full coilover. I was kind of expecting this to be a bit easier than it actually was, it was quite a job in the end. I thought.... cut here, cut there, grind here and grind there but NO, there's bloody welds all over it and the spring platform wraps underneath which i didn't realize ! Eventually I got it all off, ground down the old welds and in a semi ready state for the PMS stiffening kit. There are a couple of groves i need to weld up after going a bit deep (mad) with the cutting disc 🤫
Before;
After;
And that's where I'm currently at. Once the PMS kit is on, I'll be getting it of to the sandblasters and then powder coated

Looks Mega.. Great job
I’ve had to make a hard decision and unfortunately the time has come….. I’ve decided to part ways with my track car project. It’s been a long 3 years and I can’t see an end in sight. Family commitments, house projects, and a new job have taken priority. Plus I don't have a tow vehicle or trailer to get it anywhere. For those that have been following my project, I thank you for your support, the forum and it’s people for it’s knowledge and the interest shown. Here is a link to the sale thread for anyone interested….. https://cliosport.net/threads/unfinished-182-track-car-project.829999/

Oh mate that's a shame... I had your build saved as a favourite, was enjoying seeing you progress.
I know how it can be tho, so good luck with your other projects and commitments
