I suppose i Need some pictures.
Mike do i have permission to pinch yours.
here is a linky to the work mike had started: http://www.retro-renault.com/forums/renault-1990-1992/17420-project-mojo.html#post148031
Anyway Car was collected, did i need another R19? NO however best to save them when i can.
I have no pictures atm, my day started well dropping jack on my camera, lets hope there is a replacement in my stocking.
Job for today, kick out cars in garage to create some working space in garage. AX x2 and a uno ousted. R19 in. up on ramps, slacken the driveshaft nut then wheelnuts. up in the air on assortment of jacks and axlestands. wheels off.
Sill covers off. Grot in mikes pics is a hole in rear of Sill. needs grinding out and a plate. Either need to get a new mig, attempt to arc crappy renault tin, or Let my mate STU have a go. stay tuned to see which i chose.
Other jobs earmarked: downpipe needs replacing. Not particulary happy with the replacement sections of exhaust, dont line up well with cut outs. i may try make a new backbox with a suitable size tip centered properly. looking for a vectra gsi or maybe a cadillac seville in scrapy to cut one off.
Remove the deck chair seats, replace with leather.
Remove sunroof and seal properly. this means trying to get the silicone off which may be a challenge. not particularly worried about a sunroof so may vinyl the roof to stop the leak.
Lack of use has resulted in quite wet carpets so i'll strip them all out and dry and clean them.
Need to decide what to do about this iffy abs.
stay tuned promise pics soon.
[BREAK=First Update slow progress]
Got my sisters Camera, unforunately lost my spare cards so been restricted to 32mb 10pics!
Here she sits after 2days. been unwell last few days.
Heres the rust in Drivers Rear sill. not too bad.
Then i found some more. I'll call them the crows feet as i'm used to old jags, its where the sill meets bulkhead chassis section, seen it here before and should expect it, result of years of poor jacking.
Drivers side
Passenger side
I've not dug at any of this yet.
And here is the Sunroof issue, well aftermath of me removing it as the camera took a while to charge.
What a mess, its going to be a pain to dry out. The headlining may need replacement as very soggy
[BREAK=Yet more water]
Finally removed the seats. this ment a lot of swearing on the outermounts despite having well soaked them in WD40.
had to cut both pass nuts a little to releive them only had big grinding discs left
Drivers nuts were very rusty so managed to get away with a 12mm banged on good job as fuel lines lil close for grinding.
3gallons of water in footwell. this car is very wet.
on a positive note there has been a little more progress. and also my new shocks arrived in post. hoping to put a towbar on this one so these lil babies were a steal.
£5.49 delivered.
[BREAK=Engine finally out]
temporarily put a spare subframe in to keep it mobile, and allow me to roll it out and pick up all the stray nuts and bolts, and clear up mojos bodilly fluids. hoping to waterproof the shell temporarily so i can get a pressure washer in.
Lots to do, including ripping out that god terrible abs.
Happy new year.
