Well fitted a few parts this weekend..
Fuel surge tank setup mocked up in place
After a **** about with the laptop iv got managed to get my map off chris onto the ecu had it spluttering for a split few seconds then came to try again afyer a few tweeks and it sounds like the starter motor isnt engaging
So looks like iv got to order one of those before i hear it running properly..
Few pics.. Stil bits to change/modify just got everything on and in place to try and get her running.
That's it Nathan engine bay looks spot on well done mate, you'll have the car on the road for the Christmas happy f7 boosting
Cheers guys!
Finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel aha.. been a long time since iv drove her!
Bloody awesome!
Mental :-) you put in so much effort n time into this. :-)
ofcourse it pay off. you done magic mods like bonnet conversion to gain access to the bay which is what Renault should have done lol. you got your motor mag featured your doing a and or already nearly finished a f7p conversion I wanted to do for a long time now. its not a bodge job you have done. after seeing all the other conversions done here. everyone should get a medal lol and we should get eggs thrown at us for taking so long. as always said to other threads of owners refurbs n builds, it keeps me motivated to crack on with mine all be it the barn is cold n dark. and am sure it enspires others who attempting this to give them a paint by numbers template. well impressed.com
Cheers buddy
Good to know it helps people crack on with theres.. it just done me loosing my job! Balls it all up else would of been complete months ago.. Shit happens though ay? should be all ready for boosting soon as this shit weathers gone!
Iv already got plans of what to change already and it aint complete yet its never ending!! keeps me busy with it though suppose..
feel for you son, never good but as always said its worth it. im thinking of doing a extra van con like brigsy using f7p. taking on loads of extra work on the cars. 5 neds body painted, 19 needs engine back in, other 19 needs attention then start on spare engines to build up ready lots of work just seems far away. but yours will be done by then
so chill and focus
Fair few projects there.. Fair play! i might get another 5 sometime next year to start doing from scratch again but il keep the c1j maybe efi it.. keep me busy! Lol well after iv done what i wanna do to this anyways as gearbox be next big change on the list!
Looking awesome it's gonna be some beast when it's done. What radiator are you using ?
Pulled rad off this weekend swapping for diff rad and welded in a tray on the subframe, also made slam panel removable to make acess easier
oil leak to sort next, fit new rad, wire speedo in and few bits and bobs, full respray all to be done before end of march ready for scoff..
Cracking on with it now! got the love back after a test drive by mates unit
Great work mate not long now I'm sure!!
Taking shape nicely. Same colour again or going for a slight different shade?
I'll write what come into my head. Flipping heck what's wrong with the old paint job. Iirc it looks the nuts already
The colour it is now didnt turn out right (too greeny) thats why it never got mopped up, fresh lick over back to the normal shade.. Not long now and be back out
