Trophy in Brighouse

[Krarl]

Spotted it parked up an hour ago, headlights were yellow and scrapes and little marks all round it.

It’s more than just a red Clio, look after it!!

 

[Feirny]

YB05TZT?

 

[Krarl]

Can’t remember mate. Might have been.

I asked my Mrs to get a picture but she’s a useless s**t![emoji23]

Haha there’s a few round there TBH but I mentioned that one as I know it had been in a garage local having some bits fixed.

 

[Krarl]

This one was parked up outside of a corner shop

Definitely looked like it needed some love

 

[NickReilly063]

Seen your posts regarding YB05TZT - having now owned it for 3 months this is the results.

Hopefully you will see it around Huddersfield when I’m out and about.

I'm in Huddersfield every day so I'll keep an eye out for you.

Trophy looks fantastic. Do you work in a bodyshop?

 

[NickReilly063]

Premier Bodyshop have done the paintwork for me - I couldn’t paint a thing HaHa

 

[NickReilly063]

Just needs it’s standard exhaust putting on now to finish the exterior - loved having something to do in the strange world we live in now.

 

[Krarl]

Looks 10x better now!

I've seen it a couple of times since I posted this but then one day it vanished which I'm guessing is when you snapped it up😅

Looks like its in better hands now!

 

[NickReilly063]

Came into my hands luckily really - it’s a 1 Owner car with 9 service stamps - belts done last year enjoying bring it back to life

 

[Krarl]

I wouldn't have thought that from looking at it! It was usually parked on a blind bend and like the owner didn't care at all!🤣

 

[NickReilly063]

Just an older Guy who had it - are you from Brighouse yourself

No Wibsey so only 15 mins down the road mate

 

[NickReilly063]

Today I’ve spent 6hrs cleaning her now it’s nearly finished at the Body-Shop - just petrol cap to fit and a final flat and buff.
Steering wheel sent off to Royal last week - foot rest to screw back in.
Come along way to the unloved car in Brighouse/Bradford - he did fortunately look after it mechanically bar removing the Sachs due to the cost implication - I’ve bought brand new ones to fit back on which have cost me a fortune - new front/rear plus new springs and top mounts and to finish them off I got the dust covers from France.

Looks good mate. Make a project thread!

I presume you have an airbag for it? I have one sat in my garage if not.

 

[NickReilly063]

Thanks Louis that’s really kind of you - I’ve actually borrowed the one on the car as i’ve sent mine of to Royal for refurb
Are you from Huddersfield yourself or just work there

I did read that youd sent it to royal and then I saw the photos and forgot the text 😂

I only work in Huddersfield now, but I'm not far away in Elland. Will you be driving this properly or just leaving it as a garage queen? How do you rate the work done by premier too? I need some paintwork on mine and would be good to know the price/quality!

 

[Krarl]

That looks bob on!!

How a trophy should look

 

[NickReilly063]

Thanks Guys

Louis I’ve been using them for years - Pete is a friend who owns the garage and does a fantastic job as you can see from mine.
I‘ve had both rear quarters done with the windows removed - bonnet done - both bumpers removed and painted as shells
Same with my door handles/roof rails/side sills and re stickered/boot surround trim/petrol cap
wheels where done by my friend who owns GoTints again in Huddersfield - they also put on my Trophy stickers

To do all the above I paid just £900 which is mate’s rates - would cost twice that I’d say.

I do send them a lot of work though

Seat I sent to Pickerings in Bradford for the bolsters doing and re-foaming at the front.(£120)

 

[NickReilly063]

I also had the splitter fitted on Friday by Premier which is a plain black KTR one - couldn’t find a genuine one

One thing I havent change and are pleased to still have are the original dealer plates from Sunwin Renault which are still looking great.

 

[Louis]

I didnt realise it had so much paint. That's a bargain and you can really tell the quality from those photos!

I was looking for a decent local paint shop so might need to contact them! I only need rear quarter, filler flap and front bumper doing.

 

[NickReilly063]

Just let me know when you want it doing and I’ll speak to Pete for you - he is behind Mecca Bingo just off Chapel hill.

Do you work near there - I have an office at Northgate the other side of the ringroad

 

[NickReilly063]

All the other panels on the car are original and have never had paint - it was a shame to paint it as it had never had any before but I wanted it like new.

Didnt realise it was so close. I went for my covid jabs down cathedral house near mecca and didn't see his unit. I've used autopaints a couple of times down Manchester road and they're decent.

Yeah I work just off the ring road near the university. I'm often down northgate, suprised you havnt seen my 182 before.

 

[NickReilly063]

Premier Coach works is over the road from Cathedral house
ps I’ll watch out for your car coming past

Car looks mint, I used to park behind Mecca everyday for 3-4 years for work 😂 😂.

I need to get my Recaro bolster repaired. Did they use the proper Recaro vinyl? Or something else? I only need the drivers side squab bolster repairing sadly I’m not local to you.

 

[NickReilly063]

Hi
I’m not sure what they used Soz
But it matches great as you ca see from the photos

cheers

 

[NickReilly063]

Been ordering parts for No63 this week

High pressure power steering pipe
full set of plain Brembo disc/pads with bearings and dot 4 fluid
Sump gasket
Sach’s clutch
Exhaust manifold repair kit
New exhaust hangers - back and middle
Engine top mounting - lower - dog bone gearbox one
Renault mats

This week I need to order brake pipes front and rear
Rear axle bushes
Front wishbone bushes - I’ve already got new Renault wishbones but they need bushes
Anti roll bar bushes
Driveshaft output seals
Bottom arms to subframe bolts
Rear heat shield

Hopefully when this is all fitted No63 should drive like new ( may even fit my new Sach’s to her rather then keep them looking shinny at home)

Last job will be to buy 4 x PS3 tyres

 

[NickReilly063]

No63

 

[NickReilly063]

Refurbished steering wheel back today - finished of the interIor nicely.

Hopefully you will spot No63 out and about

 

[dave120]

Looks cracking, well done.

 

[NickReilly063]

Had my Photographer at work make a quick video of No63 today - link below

 

[NickReilly063]

Favourite Photo

 

[dave120]

Looks super clean ! Well done.

 

[NickReilly063]

Thanks Dave

I‘ve really enjoyed doing it and it’s kept me sane in a weird world

 

[NickReilly063]

Someone came to look at No63 today in his own Trophy - sorry I was out however if you PM me I'd love to talk to you

Regards

Nick

The Big underneath
has now begun - made great progress today with stripping everything off

Powder coating bits to take on Monday / Callipers same for a total rebuild and paint.

Can someone let me know what colour to do my front subframe - Silver or Black.

Also what colour do I paint the underneath of the car and in the wheel arches and ideas of what to buy.

 

[Krarl]

@Clio_fool did his subframe Silver and I thought it looked really good!
