MarcB's LY Clio 197 F1 R27

Managed to pick up a set of these still in the box.

One is damaged slightly with lacquer peel but it will get rubbed down and sorted.

Managed to get under the car and jet wash all the arches and under the car, Never had time to take the diffuser off but spent around 30mins under the thing.

Do like that style of quick and easy ramp for washing under vehicles and giving them a quick check over.

I have access to the full renault parts system which can give me all the info I need right down to the spec of how it left the factory.

Well I dropped the car off tonight along with the last remaining parts of the hubs for the big build.
(Pictures Below)

As im friends with the garage doing the work I have taken a few days off work to take pictures of the build and help out where needed and learn about the car.

good job

Well today went really well and found actually how bad the car was.

So Day 1 at the garage on LY had front what I could see as the following issues.

Bottom Arm Ball Joints (Both sides burst and not in the socket)
Both front coil springs snapped
Anti Rotation Links burst (Both sides burst and not in the socket)
Upper & lower ball joints burst.

We changed the crankshaft oil seal at the back of the fly while the clutch was out also and refitted the fly and new clutch with all new parts and bolts. There is just so so much work I was far too busy helping to get it done so im not bothered too much about the dirt. If it was my own garage and time and money where not an issue everything would have been stripped and vapour blasted.

Anyway I will show you what little pictures I took today -
