Hi,

Just read this post and can back-up what Coops has said... can throughly recommend LW Smart Repairs in Alfreton. He did the full restore on my Williams 1 and also Coop's turbo so he has good experience of Mk 1 Clios. My car was done in two goes, all the rust out first and the sills, arches and doors, then the rest of the bodywork and an underseal. He's also had it back recently to do my engine bay too..

I attach a piccy of my car after the work so you can see what to expect..!

Good luck and keep us informed - as Coops says your welcome to view to the car to check the workmanship beforehand!

oh ai, good thinking, quick pic of turbo, i had the entire roof cut out also and a brand new panel put in without a sunroof

Cheers guys. They both look awesome. Gonna ring lee on tuesday to see what the crack is. I'm gonna setup a project thread so you can see progress. Hopefully get him ready for FCS. What a good do!

Might need some help with other jobs too. Need to

Get new clips to refit the spoiler
Fix slight door drop on drivers side
Get holandia sunroof resealed and new headliner fitted (northys fave job)
Get new boot as the drain holes are rusting
Get rear parcel shelf (was the original the suit carrier version?)
Get new window seals all round
Fix drivers side window (makes a nasty noise before it goes fully down)

Any info on where to get some of this would be appreciated. Pictures going on today.

you not fancy loosing the sunroof john - coops style ?

Yeah I was thinking about it. I'm sure its cheaper and less leaky than going to Holandia for it re-doing.

Have been fitting a new zorst to Kates today so haven't got my pictures done for my project page yet. Very wierd, this is the first time that i've fit an exhaust and actually made the car quieter. Something doesn't feel right.
