Then just a few niggles to sort and stripping the inside out

Did more on the car tonight
got the PureMotorSport linkage all set up mine was hitting the lambda sensor in 4th and 5th, hitting the tunnel in 5th, 1st and reverse. All sorted now tho which is good. Seat position with the steering wheel closer and the gear stick closer really makes a difference
anyway few pics of the linkage
with that done I whipped the track rod ends off and steering boots off to find the inner tie arms completely knackered. Just gotta get me tool to undo them.
also ripped out the carbon can
also pulled some of the interior out guessing most of it's been out before as there clips broken screws missing and things generally not put together well lol.
Will try and get more work done Thursday night

mate this is amazing, good progress buddy.
Did you weight it before you started ? Be interesting to see how much you have shed. This will be a weapon.

I agree sean, superb progress, will be a track tool for sure once Dan has finish messing with it ;-)
Thanks mate, nah didn't weigh it lol I'll get it weight eventually. How much does your track machine weigh?
Haha thanks bud, never can stop messing that's the problem haha
Whip inner track ends out last night. So easy when you've got the tight tools for the job.
There proper knacker. Got some new ones from work so will whip them on soon along with a new drive shaft as the inner joint in the drivers side is knackered.

Yeah its always nice to know what weight you get down to, and compare it to the book weight. Although when you start weighing it, you will get crazy anal and start cutting the dial needles in half and things lol haha
The Westie is 570kg mate

Yeah that's true. I've already eyed up the brackets I'll be cutting off haha. And plan to cut the spare wheel well out and have a 182 flat floor welded in
Changed the drive shaft and inner joints tonight.
Drive shaft boots were falling apart and had been bodge (like most things on this little clio) with cable ties which had let all the grease out lol.
Knackered boot and famous cable ties
Old one
New one in with the inner tie rods aswell.
Tomoz I'll be back under it taking the wishbones off as I've ordered some pretty impressive looking wishbones

Fitted some new wipers as mine where totally gone.
as I didn't get in the garage till half nine I decided not to turn the angel grinder on and cut the crash bar out slightly, instead I pulled the interior out well most of it.
bloody filthy lol. Will need some tlc to get how I want it.
All of the interior when in the boot of my K1 helped tidy things nicely
