Keep up the good work Paul - these updates are great. Id like to have the time, money and ability to be able to do something like this!
Youve saved a classic car from being run into the ground and bringing it back up to date. Id be chuffed just looking at the refurbed wheels everyday, let alone the rest of the car!
D.
Those wheels make mine look like sh*t....
if anyone is from kent, i can recommend a decent refurber - exactly the same quality as Freds (looking good paul! ill have to come see the car in the flesh sometime!!) anyway... here they are...

Not wanting to be arsey BigChris but I think Freds is better quality, colour is less yellow and you can clearly see the writing, doesnt look like theyve been refurbed unlike the ones you posted imo.
Looking good Paul, great idea keeping it all in 1 thread.
no offence taken - paul, and andy gdi have both seen my wheels in the flesh - the pics arent great and dont do them justice. freds wheels are superb, and i was not taking it away from him - i was merely offering information to those who are searching for a similar quality
anyway paul - wanna sell me those sparco seats lol???
Pics as promised.

And what you doing with them turbines once it is?
I want it finished by a few days before we go to Germany so I can check/test everything.....engine being stripped/checked/painted etc now - well starting it tomorrow....
Full re-spray was a grand in the end which included some parts which needed to be replaced. On close inspection the paint job is v nice - Ive yet to find a blemish but Ive not looked that hard yet......

Cheers Illusion (sorry Ive forgotten your name mate already!)
The engine is currently stripped to component parts - not in particularly good condition (appears to have had a belt break before), but being freshened up with new bearings/rings etc as well as a fast road head built......
Pics to follow!
Paul
Here are a couple more pictures....engine being prepared to be rebuilt, and a couple of pics of the wheels, with new centre caps in (purchased from Renault) - this shows what a good match the colour is on the refurbished wheels.

Unusually, there were some fairly major wear marks on the cams/followers and big ends.....the case hardening on a couple of the lobes of the cams had started to go, which Ive never seen before. Engine has been apart before, I would suspect for a cambelt failure....Kent cams are being fitted with verniers and a new set of tappets.....

Be quite interested in full specs once its finished - like whats new, whats old, whats uprated and what isnt.
Looking very good so far. Have you restored any other cars before? ( for yourself)
No Ive never restored anything before......a Clio Williams is a pretty worthy candidate for a resto though I think.
Once its finished, I will document in one (very) long post everything thats been done to the car......
Its due to be finished 2 weeks today all being well - that gives me a few days to make sure everythings OK for Germany......all been left too late as usual!
Paul
Excellent work once again Andy

Be nice to see it lapping faster than the 182s
I suddenly thought the engine will need a bit of running in - but that ofcourse can be done on the way!!!
Its all been left a bit late but atleast I can walk into Renault and order parts that will at latest turn up in 2 days time......unlike other Marques(Lotus/Vauxhall......cough!)
