So, i got the project a few weeks ago, heres what i've done so far.

Within two days it was gutted of its seats and rear plastics.

Still need to remove passenger doorcard and roof lining.

Then over the weekend, i did some sound deadening removal.

And gave it a light wash just to see how bad the paint was. It wasn't too bad i thought -

That was until a mate come round for a look over the car and popped the bonnet (which wasn't attached with its hinges) and it fell face down onto the concrete driveway, pmsl. Nevermind!

Still, i picked these up the other day -

Same as what i had before monaco s except in blue for £100 with the subframes, also got sparco harnesses for £20 (3 points which i prefer).

A friend has assessed the rust and is going to be doing some welding/arch replacement for me in 3 sundays time. By which time i hope to have bought some new braided hoses and get the brake line sorted at the same time and hopefully get its exhaust on and the front end back together, then possibly an mot before it gets painted.

Im going to drive it for a bit on the 1.8 an destroy it on track but am already searching for a suitable 2.0 replacement. Will change over to coilovers when i do the engine swap. So good to have a clio on the drive again. :mrgreen:

Pics of the bonnet :P

Ill be tasking most of mine apart soon, seats and plastics etc. Cant wait :D

PMSL about the bonnet Sean haha!!

It looks fine mate, another mental stripped out nutter car I guess :D

Rear bumper looks like it may need resetting in correct position, that due to rust under all that?

Where is your spoiler!!!!!???!!!

I know you will make a good job of it mate. When I get some time off and I have my car back I would love to come up and visit, point at some rust and stuff etc Talk about the good 'ol days. may have some spare bits and bobs, Leighanne is getting a few bits off my car though so dunno what will be left...

The title is meant to read, Hybrid to be - Currently valver track car lol

Rear bumper just a bit pissed mate, just needs re-fitting. Don't think its too rusty tbh. I've taxed worse lol.

Yes, come visit! The infamous Leighanne can come too lol, she can be totally confused on our talk of old times lol.

I will get some pics of the bonnet later, bit nasty lol. Going to prob bin it for a carbon jobbie anyway. :D

Its not a valver/williams tailgate, looks smoothed RSI in 449. So no spoiler. Im looking for a 449 williams one atm. :)

Yea will do mate. Only a couple of people here who may be able to translate a Wobba/seanofnp conversation and that's Allan and Summeh lol. Spoken to darkie or anyone lately? Still got all that lot on my MSN and they occasionally spam WOBBA! at me hehe.

Looks like someone has taken soundproofing out already? In the rear?

[seanofnp]

I took it all out mate the other day. :)

Occasionally see Brian(Rust). And say hi to darkie when i think about it. Don't play any games anymore though! No bloody time, cant stand this growing up malarky lol.
