Yes more than likely lol, bit late for this year now eh!..............engine rebuild over the winter/?........(im kidding!)
So as you can all see, the interior loom is complete! Whoop!
Is was then refitted to the car.
My RMD25 battery had its wiring made up
engine Loom refitted to car
Connector for headlight loom and front end earth
Engine loom bulkhead connector and battery through panel fitted
My Slap-dash was then refitted
and battery offered up to its new location, (i have an alloy cage for it here, i suppose i should send that to the beaniesport crew lol)
Just waiting on a few fuses/relays i believe and basemap (and dash2 output enabled) my friend is putting together for me.

How come you still have the floor tar? Take everything out and start again once you've removed it please

your not wrong mate!
Spec -Creep has been aweful! lol
was meant to just be a respray! Then i got a good rollcage for cash i couldnt refuse... then it needed the power to back it up etc etc
Still going to need more power tbh!
But current spec im more or less happy with!

Re: The Definitive Wukbrid Project
Weird that. Mines the exact same but opposite sides :/
So after reading Ghostvalver/DannyAce/Snowman/Austins projects its given me a boost of inspiration and ive decided its high time my 16 year old clio had a new lease of life the engine that the cliolord and kj 16v have tuned for me is spot on, however the shell has seen better days. So its time i set about getting her resprayed and a few other parts added into the mix and putting my own stamp on the car, without copying andybody else too much.
So currant wishlist sits like this:-
2 x Cobra Evolutions (maybe just one to begin with)
Set of Perspex windows after seeing them on cliodans i want some.
get some welding done.
Maybe a cage....although im not sure yet... but ghostvalvers one makes me seriously wet!
respray ina different colour...as im fed up people asking me if its a williams... to which i have a to say basically it is and it isnt... lol given up explaining.
Stage one..... find a garage i can strip the car in
made a phonecall at lunch time by dinner time i had onesorted!
Moved the car into her and removed the bonnet!
then removed the wings bumper, wipers, head lights,skuttle pannel
then out came the wiper linkage and internal fan makeup and the washer bottle and the old OEM alarm (that i didnt know i had)
obviously i would be a fool not to expect some rust... soo here are the bad bits
and the bit that looks like its going to need the windscreen removing to repair...fail....
what i dont get though is one side of the car is rusty... the other side (passenger side) has light surface rust....
and now she is looking like this... will keep you all informed day by day
Ok off she goes to the bodyshop! Proceeded to discuss bonnet fit ment with aero catches then remembered I forgot to take it lol
Big thanks to bass for today! For dropping off boot and then unexpectedly bringing me some willwoods aswell! What a legend! Especially as he drove from Essex to Dorset for 8am!
just a few shots of my very empty garage
Rubber everywhere
Why I needed a new boot!
Just waiting for her new and improoved home!
Rubbers arranged
Glass no longer required
Carlsburg don't make engines....
All organised just waiting for new and improved shell
Ok some images from the bodyshop.....N REG disintegration factor!
As you can see YES that IS the floorpan thats nearly falling out... but better the devil you know.. so all getting fixed propperly....
Fitted
Jack damage repaired
Cill is now hard as nails
Floor patched
Arch in
Front arch repaired
Screen out
A rare morning off ive Been into bodyshop today, to find all the welding is now complete! Joy! No more rust
floor has been sorted,
Sill has been smoothed in yay
Door shut cleaned up
Engine bay in primer yay!!! One v happy mrs lol
thankfully no leaky powersteering will return here!
Ok remember the hole in the skuttle? Quite frankly the only bit I was worried about...before saw the floor?!?
Well it turns out the repair was **** simple!
Two cuts in the dash bend back weld in plate, bend back weld up, grind clean lol
And one photo before I left!
Weird that. Mines the exact same but opposite sides :/

Wow really nice job. Just read the entire thread. Lot of nice work and commitment put in to this (and money).
Your Rustoration looks like where I am with my Williams. So love to have bodies on mine.
Only thing I would say it's a pity you didn't do the subframe and pipes in red think it would finish it off. :approve:

So after problems with the williams manifold i bit the bullet and bought a Mild Steel Supersprint copy
Clio build by Zmaster2k, on Flickr
its a better fit better design of 4-2-1 like the manifold from the original 1.8 16v....only not cast and made of solid iron lol
Clio build by Zmaster2k, on Flickr
then realised i was wasting my time... and decided to put a turbo on my car
Clio build by Zmaster2k, on Flickr
lol
anyway
She now requires her horn wiring up...as it didnt have one fitted... and she is ready for her MOT

Also drove her with a temp map on it... oh its quick! and f**king LOUD!

I want a supersprint for mine looks good mate.
looks good mate.
Lunar Mk1 & Flamer
Should have said you were after. I've got a spare original stainless super sprint.
Glad to hear you're finally driving it. Should be nicely ready for trackday season next year then.
Not a fan of the stainless they always crack... and they dont "sound" right compared to the mild steel.... and for the price i paid (mates rates) im seriously happy!
Thats the plan... get her on the road for some "testing" and iron out any bugs... Then wrap her up untill the next season
Yeah only taken it to like 5k ish... forgot to enable STS on the omex for the dash so was only a guess!... but f**king hell its different low down! So much torque!
Really starts to pull hard at 4k or so.

Thanks Ron!
really not long now...
It needs somthing on the sides to break it up a tad... dunno what though
Carbon fibre bump strips mate, would look good IMO. That's the thing with mk2/3/4 colours on mk1s, the trims make or break them, well that's IMO anyway. That's what is throwing me on going inferno orange or not
X2 Clio Valvers
I'm going phase 1
will be changing the red though but not sure what to lol. Could do yours same as what mine are, would look nice I think. Then you'd have red bump stop inserts as well as red wheels

Bump strip I meant lol

Lol. Don't know about that mate. Took me ages to get hold of lol.

I know where there's a set I'll see if he's still got them mate

Think they're from a valver but I'll double check. I didn't know pov ones won't fit? I managed to pull one rear quarter phase 1 strip from a 1.2 clio in my local scrappy and it fitted alright, just needed the different clips
