View Full Version : Get martin and Luner to FCS
as these two have taken it uppon themselves to ruin there cars over the weekend - let have a club wip around and get them mobile again.
Martin - looks like he is going for Matt Browns williams 2 shell
Luner - the red valver shell of 2live
I recon with a few of us - martins car should only take a day to get reshelled lol...
So can u let me know guys what the planns are
cheers northy...well I'm thinking that bare shell swap over will take ages...so I'm looking at getting a cheapish running valver then swapping everything over...guess I'm gonna have to get a move on. Engine swap is the only thing I can't handle meself....
I think I have a spare seat if one of them needs a lift to FCS?
Hopefully gonna repair mine, be a shame to waste a pretty much mint shell.
Gav's old man is hopefully gonna deliver the verdict tongiht, if its repairtable hopefully it will be back on the road in a couple of weeks, althoguh i do need a williams rad and front bumper
when did my old man say he was coming to have a look at it Lunner?
said he was coming last night, but then i rang....remember....and he said he was behind and woudl defo come down this evening.
Basically if its repairable hes the bloke who will be doing it, its just a case of how quickley he can do it.
If not i'll get a rolling shell, or a valver with ****ed engine and slowly transsfer bits over, unless you have a unit reshelling a car ain;'t an easy or quick job, esp doing it with limited drive space
Lunner it looks pretty f*cked to ba honest... i wouldn't touch it to be honest...
Re-sell will be peice of pi55 the hardest thing it fuel tank and Brake lines...
i recon two people can do it in a weekend..... :wink:
ooo and windscreen will be a bitch....
remember i built my Williams1 from a bare shell :P
Yeah i knkow, and cheers for the offer.....but i have exams on going atm, and tbh the only major thign is the chassis rail is a little kinked, apart from that its fine, and its alot less hassle to get it repaired
lol
tbh the only major thign is the chassis rail is a little kinked,
thats the main structure of the car!!!! just think 1-2mm out and it will handle like shit!!!
Then again the car owes you nothing... :wink:
:) if there is anything i can help with let me know :)
i recon reshell in a few days with enough ppl helpin :?: :lol: but i am cluless
also got spare seat for FCS if u need it
if chassis rail is ****ed mate so is the car! why risy your life cos if that crashes again it will just fold!
OK cheers guys.
Looked again basically the end of the rail is bent over, and its pivioted about 1/3 of the way down it, the only bit it affects is where the subframe bolts on, and got a new subframe, so if that all lines up we are good to go, oh and i think its pushed the other side out slightly as the wing now catches on teh door when it opens, shoudl be good, if not then will be the time to re shell it
if chassis rail is f**ked mate so is the car! why risy your life cos if that crashes again it will just fold!
See above, its not the main chassis rail of the car, that goes under the car lol, its the engine chassis rail, the only thign that bolts to bent bit is the subframe, and it will be strengthened when its straightened

always have a plan B folks :D
I am NOT taking a bus......my cars wounded....theres no need to torture me too
im sure we will fix it dude :D
:wink: to right
i wanna test drive it
see if the handling got messed up :wink:
Fair enough, but if you stack it i get to do a 'martin' in your valver
deal!
if i stack it i will even get it 'crushed' for you
[after engine is sitting nicely in my new valver as my naples one will be crushed on Tom's driveway :lol:]
LOL
If it gets sorted i'll let you have a go in it when i come to collect it
:wink:
consider it road legal Lunner :D :D
It will be rebuilt......touch and go whether its ready in time for FCS tho....but i will eb tehre in soma capacity, even if its in a shitty beaten up fiesta

Found an alternative method of transport for you martin.

:lol:
Hey look adrian......found a pic of you on the net.....

i will try and push him to get it done for FCS tom :)
If the cars drivable to some extent how about doing a reshell at FCS on the stand surly thats got to be the ultimate club show?
LOL
Mine is being fixed, but we coudl do that with martin's
Sounds a good idea actually, rather than wandering around the show bored, all of us working on it i recon we coudl get it done in a day
We would need to bring all the tools to the show and oil plus coolant
The stand is 50% grass 50% tarmac
If martin is up for it and matt brown gives martin the williams shell - i will arrange to collect it for him and you guys can then do a shell swap.
Dont forget were camping the sunday night martin so if we dont manage it then u can always get the rac to get u home.
Only problem is what to do with the 'other' shell once its been stripped.
Leave it there lol
I'll be bringing pretty much most of my tool kit anyways as i'll have track time (hopefully).
Woudl be a benefit if the supplied shell was a rolling shell, or atleast had the cuntish items still on it, ie brake lines and fuel tank, rest of it is piss tho
LOL That would be funny as..... but ill end up getting dirty :lol:
Plus im pretty sure Martin will want his car b4 FCS :wink:

Latex gloves and overalls lol
Theres track time the day before so maybe worth asking if you can start work or deliver the parts then.
As for getting rid of the sheell well how were you intending on bringing it I've got a car trailer but no usable tow car that I can borrow.
Could always bring a power supply and chop the old shell up with a grinder.
i can't belive your seriously sudgesting it....
could cut it up... and evey member has to take a bit home....lol :lol:
i bagsey the front cross member and slam panal :lol: :wink:
lol.....would be a great day and think we would win the prize for the best stand, however i can't see us all completing it and have everything up and running and away within the day!
Everyone knows what it's like working on the old clio's, those bolts aren't just going to fall off, some might require extra attention and do we have power?
Also what about all the parts, some will be forgotton or wrong size etc! I know it's happened to me and would be crap if happened on the day!
But if everyones up for then i'm willing to get involved! :wink:
POwer isn't a problem, i have a battery powered impact wrench, and a 900mm breaker bar, between them they shift just about anything.
Parts ain't a problem as its just a straight swap from car to car
Im bringing a generator to run the tv were having
i also have a car with a towbar on - so theres two problems taken care of.
If the shell isnt too stripped then it should be easy.
So are we going to have a go ?
I'm up for it :D
Worst comes to worst we take two half complete cars home, i'm sure if itts there people wil pitch in to a certain extent.
Would be very nice to win best stand on our 2nd visit there
Might the officials not get pissed off with the angle grinder noises? And I'm sure they'll be some sort of health and safety issues, as usual :roll:
Good idea though... Williamsclio Track Heap Challenge 8)
well i will ask mark - but im sure that most of the work will be spannering and swapping bits over.
I If we dedicate half the front of the stand to the swap - then im sure it will draw some crowds.
Martin / lunner will have to get there current cars there though.
We need to have a few people that are avalaible to help out.
I wont be in the morning lads - but the afternoon i will be able to help out for a bit.
Also - if martin and lunnnnnnner are doing the tracktime in 'anther' car then wont be able to bring both.
The options are there lads - let me know what u recon.
sorry lads..but i probs wont be helpin on the day tbh.
il have done enuff spannering in the run up to the show, wanna actually relax for a weekend lol.
See what martin says... :wink:
ive been stripping clios all week
why not 2 more
im game :D
let me know if need any certain tools
Right... Just a quick one....
I've been offered a Williams 1 shell (with rear axle.all brake lines and fuel tank) slight corner damage on the n/s headlight
£350
let me no if you need it Lunner/Martin :wink:
is that the one infinicar bought mate ?
sod that i dont wanna go to a show to start stripping a car and swapping bits, we would never see any of the show
is that the one infinicar bought mate ?
No the one they just broke, this one Paul got in thismorning :wink:
i was tempted to get it to paint and put my running gear in.. :wink:
i wana get mine sorted before the show lol would be a better day with everyone just chilling...rather than fooking with a conversion
This is true actually, looks liek the idea is off lol
Don't want a williams shell as its hassle declairing it as a 1.8 etc and it will end up costing me more insurance wise unless i'm really dodgy
