some progress snaps of my ph1 track car!

[Struggler]

please bear in mind that the project isnt finished, the engine bay is a mess and the engine is still yet to be removed,
and the interior hasnt even been touched upon yet!!

however from the exterior, its pretty much what its going to look like once complete!!
i just thought id take a few snaps because im bored and wanted to see what people thought of how she looks!!

Looks fine to me mate. Although those wheels will be rubbish for brake cooling

 

[MarcB]

Looking good and i would take your wheels

 

[akaboogie]

will you be stripping it.

 

[Struggler]

lol of course i will!

im just waiting for the interior to sell, where better place to keep it in the mean time than left in the car?! lol

as soon as it sells ill be stripping it,
removing all the tar,
cutting down the rear loom and re-wrapping it,
adding my cage,
adding seats and harnesses,

 

[akaboogie]

nice, i remember the last clio was stripped nicely...

member seeing it when i come to collect them buckits i had from you...

 

[jamie.91]

looks spot on, similar to how i imagine mine will end up

also out of curiosity are you leaving the front crossmember thingy off?

 

[Struggler]

ahh yes that lovely day i was battling with my battery relocation!! lol,
are those seats still about then??

and yes, i plan to leave the crossmember off, it makes the engine so much more accessable, and as far as i can work out, hold no structure significance, other than to mount the bonnet catch and top of the radiator.

 

[akaboogie]

lol yh that was the day, also them seats was fitted into my mate saxo...but now sold he loved them tho.

recognise from the plate?? i would love to know some history of car since i bought it with nothing but the v5!! (it was only £500 mine )
but if its a mods point of view i bought the car completely standard a week ago!

thanks for the comments guys!! i i wasnt sure about old valver wheels on a mk2!

I always thought the cross member was there for a reason..

 

[Struggler]

its a very flimsy piece of metal, only 1mm steel,
ive read a few threads where people remove them (usually for itb's)

So's a car door? Once fixed in place i just would have thought it would. Not argueing i could be wrong.

Looks great btw..
