Well just thought id do a small thread of my project, as i havent explaned what ive been doing in a while :)

Well, many of you will know my car which unfortunatly ended up like this http://www.rtoc.org/boards/album.php?albumid=53&pictureid=4106

last Feb, not ideal i can tell you ! :D Id always wanted to go more o.e with the car so it gave me a good opertunity to do it. I bought a really really solid black shell and set about swapping all the bits that were salvagable from the smashed car onto the new shell :)....Pretty much everything on the old car was new / replaced so i was able to re-use most of it again

Now, i had collected pretty much all the ph1 bodykit brand new from Renault over the years and wanted to use it on the rebuild http://www.rtoc.org/boards/album.php?albumid=54

I havent got many pics of the swapping over of the bits tbh, but heres a pic from today where myself and Nick K ( thanks mate ) finished off all the wireing and got all the electrics finished. The new bodykit is fitted and im just waiting to drop the rebuild lump in next weekend ( see this thread ) http://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=25699

Anyway, heres some pics from today, few cosmetic bits to do and some o.e wheels to refurb before i MOT it next month. Its sitting front high due to no engine :D
