little update on the engine bay

[bendee]

little update on the engine bay added a strut brace painted it black and painted the bolts and washers orange.
also painted the manifold black and added a catch tank for the powersteering fluid the good thing is it sucks the fluid back up so its never lacking it and it stops the whine it sometimes got :D this will be the last update on the bay till i get bodies.

looks good!

lol i had a simular pas cap set up for ages, was sick of the fluid ending up on the inner wing etc lol although just got rid for non pas!

also i bought a low racing jack just like that for xmas :lol:

[bendee]

lol there a god send haha, yeah im considering a manual rack but its a daily and making it more of a pain would be a reet bugger lol

[LEIGH-ANNE]

liking that.....well done :D

[richy]

them jacks are quality! before i had to use the std jack to wind the car high enough to put normal jack under, now i dont have to do that lol

also agree on non pas, for daily would become a pain, luckily i dont use mine much on the road!

I do love your engine bay mate :droool: just gets better every time I see it :shock: even though I always think there's nothing he could do to make it look any better :lol:

[Paul16v]

Did you have some paintwork done on it in Worksop mate?
Sure I saw your car in the same place I took my willy the other month :)

[eternalife]

Very nice! This hybrid really does win me over 8)


I do remember there being a 'tried and tested' additive to use for whiney steerings that seemed to cure the problem (if the problem still occurs) - do a search, im sure its on here somewhere.

nah mate works in a body shop and ive been over recently but doubt its the same one as hed of said if he did some work on one as he has a williams himself.

eternal life, you been over to get the crx yet? thought i saw you and the other chap recently but turned out to be another guy who had just bought a williams lol

Did do mate - a week or two after I last saw you
Was against the clock though - so didnt really have time to stop, a quick chat with an enthusiast always ends up being 2hours lol :lol:

[bendee]

lol fair enough, thats very true tho once im on the subject i dont like to get off it lol

thats my black clio 16v you saw mate(happens to look like bendee's lol), i saw a williams there when i went for a quote, did you have the n/s/r arch worked on iirc?

infact there was a williams 2 iirc there when i went to collect my car, was sat with door off and some other bits being done!

[Paul16v]

yeh man mine was the one with the door off. Saw yours there when I went to book mine in. Engine bay looks mint.

I had both arches done, sills sorted, door swapped and both sides sprayed.

Need to take it back cos one of arches developed a bubble, they made a cracking job tho and are sorting the bubble out FOC anyway :)

[richy]

yeah i had abit of my o/s/r arch done aswell as a sill tidied up and a full repaint to tidy it up!

[katbloke]

very nice reminds me i have my strut brace to fit and rear spoiler

[Paul16v]

yeh noticed it had some fresh metal welded in on drivers one
Mine were pretty solid to be honest, was just starting to bubble so caught it early, i think they must have missed a bit maybe, is only a very small bit though.

[richy]

yeah mine wasnt big to tbh, the total area was about 3 inch by 2inch high iirc, only bubbling through like you said yours was, thought i best get it done before its ****ed big time lol :lol:

but atleast there doing it FOC for you, like you said they might of missed a spot!

this is how it looks now..
