not much progress these days due to the stupid weather
but did manage to give it a wash today
it now resembles a car instead of a mountain of snow

UPDATE:

new page added called "sensors"

 

[jim23496]

discovered the source of the missfire today, turns out i broke a sensor when refitting the head which is the air sensor, i asked renault and they wanted £40 for a little sensor
so im going to have to get one off another renault thats being broke

 

[Larry]

ebay mate, get a pic of the sensor cos i might actually have one for you here i can post it

 

[jim23496]

sadly there isn't any for sale on ebay bit it looks a little like this...

exept its black and the connector is round and the sensor bit looks like a hoop with a little sphere inside it.

 

[Larry]

i know the one you mean, i shall have a look for one tomorrow when im sober again, good works so far mate, also any time you need anything dont waste any time about putting a thread in the bits wanted section, half my cars are built from other members cars

 

[jim23496]

thanks mate

 

[jim23496]

took it round the block today and it was absolutely perfect
no hesitation alot more power and no overheating
still got the missfire on idle but at least i know its the air flow meter and not something worse
also been continuing with the door, its now nice and flat and ready for some paint, i will upload some pics tommorow

i seriously hate bodywork

it's too much effort

 

[JR]

hey jim are your wheels 14 or 15 inch? i like them, would look good on my cabby too

as for the bodywork isn't it too cold and damp outside to be painting?

there 14" i think, there origionally off the clio rsi and they look perfect on the 19 imo

it is a little cold outside but so far no paint reactions and the doors finished now

You should really remove the handle and lock and block that corner in full sweeps. Too keep pinholes to a minium UPOL FANTASTIC is a good filler.

 

[jim23496]

yeah its now finished but theres an area im not happy with so i might try that

Am I imagining it or have you been rubbing the door down while closed, and over-sanding on to the rear quarter panel?

Also, that handle must look a right state now, the number of coats of primer and paint it's had. Does it still actually move?

 

[jim23496]

lol
the door was sanded while open but a bit of dust got on to the rear panel when i closed it and the handle isnt that bad, i mainly tried to avoid it so it only really has 1 coat of primer on it and yes it still moves :roll:
