View Full Version : Darrens "project refurb" not far off completion!
As some may, may not know I'm having the valver spruced up by Tony (twistedstyling.co.uk)
Just thought I'd show you a few of the before pics I've recieved then i'll take some super quality ones when I get the old girl back..
For you information:
Full respray in Naples Pink :wink:
Treatment of the B pillar rust that decided to have a field day
De-locked (for security - not looks)
Side repeaters filled and moved to the bumpstrips (think Nick Read - but gonna be better :D )
New boot lid as mines a rust bucket (respray of my already naples willy spoiler)
New fogs (full new headlights and indicators on order just waiting delivery)
New plates, new door pillar stickers (again!)
And finally the masterpiece thats turning into a nightmare: sunroof removed and smoothed over willy style, oh and i'm having the arial removed too....
So bascially nothing horrible or posh, just a tidy up of the legend with a few personal touches (that can bar the roof :shock: be put back to standard in a million years when I've still got her)
Pics....
Some sensible modifications being made there mate.
What would it look like with no pillar stickers on ???

Please not that rust isn't as bad as it looks, the cars just bloody filthy, and I did put hammerite all over it as a temp measure!! :shock:

Wank
I've got a picture somewhere... it just doesn't look right without it on some colours like naples..
Although it does work well on black and blues
Originally I was only going to get a bumper respray as it was peeling its paint but then its started going wrong! trolley dents, rust, my mate decided to launch himself over the bonnet one pissed up night :x
Sunroof? what sunroof?! lol
http://www.twistedstyling.co.uk/DazClio/DazClio21.jpg
I'd like to point out that if some people get concerned about the strength of the roof now it doesn't have a sunroof i'm looking into a half cage just up and over the b pillars (can't see why it should though, after all with the plate and the supports I'd have thought it would be as strong if not sronger than the willy roof).
Willy roof has an extra brace iirc
Thats some good welding he looks to have done.
The metal is so thin and flimsy it would have distorted like a bananna straight away.
IMO i wouldnt bother with a cage. (adds to much to insurance) the roof will be as strong as a williams one or two now pal.....and once the headlining is fitted it will be solid as it should be.
Keep the pictures coming, and focus on the sunroof :D
(last picture I have for now chaps :D )
I think it'll be nice and strong with the strips across the gap
put this way i'll be proud to come down to meets now - its taken me 2 years to get to this point!

and once the headlining is fitted it will be solid as it should be.
If i can find one! :D
LOL, if it was me i would spot weld the strips to the sunroof blanking panel mate.
Possibly 6 spot welds on each strip.
P.S drill the strips with a 5 - 8mm bit and fill with weld until flush.
Do it right and it will be miles stronger than a williams one. :D

Elephant will insure a cage for almost no extra i found out when playing wiht insurancee quotes....maybe they ahve relaised it actually makes the car SAFER
Oooo, my old repeaters are going to be special :P
Looks like it'll be peachy when it's done mate 8)
Good work mate, be sure to post up more progress pics.
i'd hope that the sunroof moddification contains as much metalwork as possible and minimum filler
i've seen some of Tony's work over on RSC and he seems to know his arse from his elbow!!!
how much is it all costing??? (if you don't mind me asking!)
my car could do with a tidy up
Well! I was actually going to post some finished pics up and get you all to guess the cost... :)
So not telling!

How long had Tony had it now fella? Seems like ageees, you just use the valver for fun or summut? :?
No mate its my daily!
just over a month now - but I did say take your time theres no rush, as much as I'm missing having it the amount of mnoey i've saved by not running it means I've saved up for extras :D
Plus i've got a passat, a punto and a tranny connect at my house incase of emergency - I'm driving the punto today for example as my missus and her mates are coming shopping with me :shock: or is that the other way round!

Right I think I've got everything ready now I need when the clio gets back - apart from the new carbon boot strip thats on order...
EVERYTHING will be brand new on the outside that isn't being sprayed for example...
New lights front and back

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/Daz0rz/Project%20Refurb/DSC00775.jpg
New plates and B pillar stickers
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/Daz0rz/Project%20Refurb/DSC00772.jpg
New "Renault" "Clio" badges (fooking rip off!)
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/Daz0rz/Project%20Refurb/DSC00780.jpg
Obligatory stckers :D
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/Daz0rz/Project%20Refurb/DSC00777.jpg
A little something for the inside
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/Daz0rz/Project%20Refurb/DSC00781.jpg
And although not new the ones with no tyres (Thanks to Martin) are being sanded down and repsrayed an as yet unknown colour for the track, the ones with tyres (Thanks to Winston) are probably going to be "Project TubFerb"!
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/Daz0rz/Project%20Refurb/DSC00782.jpg
And finally something a little naughty
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/Daz0rz/Project%20Refurb/DSC00779.jpg
Think thats it for now - If I find anything else thats new I'll let you know :wink: [/img]
