Tinkering on a Saturday

[Coops]

well after a poor start to the day, trekking all the way down to aarons with liam (mozzarooni) to do his clutch. got there and the muppet had forgotten his locking wheel nut key, so back home we went :wink: :lol:

so i spent the best part of the day tinkering on the clio in my missus dads garage, i really need to get a garage now, love it! 8)

car tucked up under the house, view from the workstation/brew corner :P

took the sunroof out and the both rear plexi windows to get them chopped down to fit 1.2 seals and finally make the car water tight after a year :roll:

no further pics of the suroof, but by end of day i had resealed the drip trays in the subframe and tigersealed the sunroof itself back into the roof of the car, not to mention sealing the aerial aswell

i had also cracked my side ext on a speed bump, the rear outer weld on the box had fractured around the entire circumference of the box, so one of the fitters at work welded it back up for me on friday

as said before, wheel was off, this was for me to address the first signs of rust on the drivers arch before they have a chance to take hold, so sanded it all back and rust treated it four times, over last week

then today, masked and taped it all off for primer, which i put 3 coats of white of on, thats got to be left overnight to harden, then next week i'll sand that back, add colour, sand back again and laquer it, wont be amazing but i'll keep it as mint as i can!lol
