Been a wee while since I've been able to go down and potter so nipped down today and got the track rod ends on
jump started it cos I think I left the interior light on
rolled it out and refitted the mirrors. Which are now the only clean bit of the car
and took a quick, shitty wee video of the exhaust note, having left my tripod at home I used an axle stand so excuse the funky angle!

Lambda changed over today, so much easier than on a 172 manifold. Also some old valver wheels chucked on the back so I can give all 4 wheels a damn good clean! Cheers dor the help Dave x
Least i could do babes x
Shite progress is shite.
Rear discs and throttle cable ordered from Tom@Wests and 1 HID ballast nicked off it for the coupe.
Now really wanting it back on the road before April but not sure if it would make any sense to when the coupe is taxed till then, I just dont think it sitting there doing nothing is good for it.

Got a set of rear brake pads to match the new discs.
Yay.
Yay.
Aw cheers man means a lot x
Well after it being in a damp garage for the last few months the inevitable started to happen- mould! So decided to bring it home At least now I can air it more often and also run it more often. Its been a ludicrously mild winter here too so not too worried about it sitting outside in the elements.
So I put on some random wheels I had knocking about and used my latest barge to bring it up
First thing I did was hoover the inside but having used all my AG interior shampoo on the SAAB that was all I could do, will be getting more in the coming days, next thing was a long awaited wash, its amazing how filthy it got sat still in a garage! And since Dave was up we even washed the chav (for the 1st time with anything more than just a pressure washer!)
So a couple of quick phone pics
And as you may or may not have spotted I've changed the rears to the ph1 lenses but with ph2 bulbholders and also put on a new number plate light. Unfortunately the connector is goosed so will be getting a new one or doing something different to get round the constant problem of it!
Cheers

The fact you pictured two ph1's with the front bumpers sitting properly makes me jealous!
Lol! Its amazing when you think of how many times they've both been off!!
Cable ties and self tappers is the secret to my bumper, it still hangs like a bag of s**t though.
I also like how you display many varieties of wheels lol

Aye? Dunno why then, we must just be lucky!
Yup, actual wheel whores Was half tempted to take one of my meg coupe so I could have 4 different ones on the flamer! Like ph-reebones CMYK from a few years ago but with a twist!

FLOL. that is all.
Flamer will get retaxed the day the coupes runs out so the 1st of April but will never ever be finished I fear!
Chav is an ongoing concern too and a proper budget build so another slow burner.
Saab is the main priority just now as that is basically gonna be used to pay for my timing belt!

Cheers Andy yeah won't be selling it again!
Feeling a bit s**t today but was going stir crazy in the house so popped out just to start the car up and open the windows. Popped the bonnet and was greeted with a bit of a mess
Had been planning on tidying this up a bit anyway and since it didnt involve much elbow grease or movement I thought I'd just potter about with it.
Started with the scuttle panel
You can see what products I used! Really wanted to take the scuttle off so that I could paint it but the wipers were on silidly and I couldn't go and get any pullers for them so had decided just to use AG bumper care instead. Also swapped the pollen filter over, old one wasnt too bad tbh but figured I may as well.
After a wee while
Not bad imo.
As you can see above the sound deadening had seen better days so I decided it was time for this to go as well and give the underside a quick going over, will do it properly at some point.
Then refitted my ITG panel filter after cleaning and reoiling it months ago! And then went over the plastics with fast glass then bumper care.
I have plans for the metal work so just ignored that altogether today!
And overall left it like this
Cheers

The closer the timing belt bill comes the more willing I am to do things for money
April, iirc it's now due but obviously isn't being used so it'll get done once it's taxed
Yeah defo, I can see me caving and taxing it sooner!
Not 100% sure yet, if money is tight then probably someone up here, if I happen to have enough for cams and
mapping then I'll be going south. You?

If I do manage to cam it then I'll be using Fred and rs tuning, got the advantage of family in Sutton coldfield!
I have heard good things about these guys - http://www.rentecautocare.co.uk/
I'm thinking about nipping down soon to see about a possible club discount (worth a try)
The Renault specialist I use had the guys from that garage as their apprentices at sighthill Renault. They have an impressive setup in the garage though.
You've had your belt done recent eh Stevo? Who was it that did it?
And let us know what they say Ben.
