not speedlines mate but they are gloss black............

Spill the beans mate - what you getting?

 

[mossyv6]

I have no issues keeping them clean! I just wash and polish the car, then park it in the garage and admire it. That's the easiest way to keep gloss black speedlines clean!

That sounds familiar mate, lol.

I used it today as the weather was forecast to be dry - it rained when I was out!

A few small updates

H & R springs (yes I have also brand new spax but these were cheap and I
loved them on the Alien)

Before

After

Had them shot blasted and powder coated at a local company.
If weather is ok this weekend I will get stick them on.

Discovered another cigarette burn

On the rear seat base:

So bought one of eBay for all of £20

New and old together:

New fitted - much better

 

[mossyv6]

Now for cup spoiler.

Tailgate looked so plain without one, so my eBay searching paid off and got this one:

Very rough paintwork but never fitted.

Start with blocking to try and get it flat again:

Now primer:

Colour coat:

Clear coat:

Fitted and with all original fittings used and extra rust protection to the drilled holes.

Thanks mate, I'm getting there

 

[Coops Mk1]

looking good mate, although tbh stop messing about and get that Meggie lump in it

 

[182_steve]

The before and after with the springs is just wow, they've done a great job there!!

 

[Ben]

That spoiler looks great mate. Can I ask how much as my mate has just got a 197 and it is desperate for a cup spoiler. Looks so much better with it!

Thanks mate and hopefully the donor car will be with us Tuesday afternoon watch this space

Aren't they just - it's a small company round the company from me in Staveley and cost all of £30.

I bought it new (other) from ebay for £160 delivered. Took a bit of work to get it flat again but worth it to save a few pounds.
I think you can get them for £200 at the moment from renaultpartsdirect with free delivery if you use there promo code. I will check for you.

@mossyv6 Nice thread and good work so far.

Im not sure if you still need one but i have a 200 gear knob sitting in a box in my shed. I changed it out for the metal one after about 3k miles and you are more than welcome to have it.

You sir a legend. Thank you. I will drop you a PM.

 

[mossyv6]

Done a bit on the interior today.

Rear seats - always seemed a bit boring so after purchasing my £20 bargain mint seats I thought I would try something different.

Before:

During modding - these inserts needed the bores widening to accept the new headrests:

Where they're located:

After - front headrests from original seats borrowed and there new homes:

 

[mossyv6]

Also started to strip the interior to replace the seats, front carpet, handbrake cable etc.

Standard yellow seats to be removed:

Seats, front carpet, handbrake lever, gearknob removed to be replaced - rest being cleaned.

Partially stripped cabin:

Reason for carpet removal - another ciggie burn!! Now bin fodder:

More bin fodder:

Handbrake levers - one good, one bad:

Hopefully get more done tomorrow

 

[NorthloopCup]

That's a nice touch with the rear headrests mate! Looks the part that.

Thanks mate, thought it was a nice subtle touch and will tie in well with the renault sport emblem on the front Recaros.

Also done it so the original seats can be put back together - as the only thing that I modded was the black tubes and I still have the originals.

Sounds like a win win then to me mate! I might even steal the idea and use it on mine! Lol!

 

[Mr freeze]

Well mate just had a catch up on your thread you don't mess around do you proper diy skills there to :smiley: . The Ly looks spot on now you've worked your magic . You any good at painting rear calipers mine need doing :laughing:

Hello matey, good to talking to you the other night and thanks for the kind comments Funny you should say that about the calipers as mine all need redoing as the red powder coat is flaking off - I was thinking about stripping them all, sanding blasting, powder coating and rebuilding with a rebuild kit. Oh and new decals of course.

 

[mossyv6]

So a few bits done over the weekend and between rain showers.

Recaros fitted. Drivers seat has just had brand new seat base fitted and a photo of the headrests.

 

[mossyv6]

Refurbed steering wheel fitted. Still not sure about the original yellow dash strips - they are deffo not liquid yellow!! They will be getting toned down a little, lol.

 

[mossyv6]

Top dash display surround has 2 big scratches in it. I have bought 2 second hand ones - one didn't fit and the other had scratches on it also. So thought I would have a go at painting it instead of buying new.

And fitted:

 

[BGEarles]

f**king awesome work on this, them rear head rests top it off for me, very nice.

Thanks buddy. Rear headrests courtesy of my original seats and £20 eBay rear seats so had nothing to lose and totally reversible and still fully adjustable.

 

[182_steve]

The seats are such a huuuuge improvement, so much better than what was in there before......... agreed with the yellow dash parts, they defo need to be more subtle. Great stuff

 

[OssPoop]

Display surround looks good painted but might be a pain reflecting on the windscreen when the weather brightens up some.
All in all though the car is massively improved, as expected! When does the engine work start?

 

[mossyv6]

Thanks buddy and never thought of that I might be buying a new one after all, lol.

Engine work is hopefully start of February - donor car should be here tomorrow :smile:

 

[Tommo.]

Impressive collection of cars you've had / have @mossyv6! Not jealous at all... lol! :up::up:

 

[imprezaworks]

Nice. Probably not have the steering wheel insert in yellow if it was me. But then I haven't got turinis so what do I know.
