Pulling a back axle apart for sandblasting, should I have left this abs sensor sleeve in ?

Dashboard fell out tonight. And by 'fell' I meant that I swore at it and cried and stubbed my fingers and generally got shitty with it until I managed to pull it out.

Dash bar needs to come out next so I can remove the heater matrix ready for the micro heater and cage to go in. Building a race car is hard work in the dark and on your own 😂

Alternator fecked on my shitbox daily.

Thought it was just the top end gone but after removing the alternator the mount at the bottom was gone which more than likely shook the top end until it snapped.

Currently building another engine for this shell.

So luckily the bottom mount was available as I’m fitting an air con delete kit.

So bought a new alternator for the new engine and

After a few weeks of being too busy to look at the Clio, I made some time today and got on with changing the fluids. I want to start with everything done, so engine & gearbox oils plus coolant this morning. I had a free hour at the end of the day, so got the wheels off and went to loosen the bleed nipples so I could start on the brake fluid tomorrow. Both outer front nipples are shagged now and the caliprrs off the car. One sheared off, the other came out complete with most of the aluminium thread from the caliper. Also 2 of the small housings for the locating pins are broken.

Noticed that one of the rear tyres was low on pressure (it was 16 and should have been 40). I’ve not driven the car much since getting out of storage, so not sure how long it’s been low.

Pumped it up and wanted to take it off to see if I could see a nail.

Taking the wheel off involved a 1.5 hour hunt for the locking wheel nut key. At least the garage is a bit tidier now, after me tuning upside down looking for said key.

Continued stripping the Clio tonight for race prep. Took the half cage out tonight and found some... Well.. Oh...

It'll be fine... To be fair I've looked inside the sill and it all looks clean and tidy, this is just where the arch liner clip goes onto. It'll get plated tomorrow when the cage gets welded in.
Old half cage out and already sold
