Really out of the blue this one!

Not much has happened after that, Got hold of a genuine v6 spoiler so had that painted and fitted. Hopefully get a front half of the cage for it this year and maybe a trackday or 2 🤞 Last pic with the latest project arriving on the trailer 🤦‍♂️ imagine a quiet life!

Next up, A trip to EFI. Thanks to Stevie at Mcnab Motorsport for running it down for me, Came back with a usable 206hp/173ftL. Drives great now! New seats/harness's - went with pole positions/schroth harness's after having a run a leon at the ring with this setup! Perfect combo. then a quick...

Bit of a gap in the pics. But, I booked a trackday before the engine was even bolted back together 😅 Rebuilt the head with wossner valves/cat cam valve springs/197 cams. Using jenvey/pms itb's/pms breather plate/spacer and catch can. pms manifold and gen 90 ecu. Pms engine mounts/pms radiator...

You will be shocked to hear it sat for a while after the bodyshop...not something id do 👀 Got suspension on. Went for Gaz golds/refurbed ast top mounts/refurbed Northloopcup RCK. Fully gutted the inside ready for half cage etc.

So after my initial plan of keeping it fairly simple, I bought this ph1 in for breaking aswell as a couple of other ex track cars. (Cant find pics of the cup) but it gave me a new engine setup, Jc5 box with a Gripper diff and a half safety devices R022 cage...just what I didn't need. I was...

After a trip to my mate Myles at MCM Chassis alignment that does my bodywork stuff then back for a quick engine bay paint it looked like this -

Thought I'd stick a post up on my track car as i've only ever stuck pics in the Ph1 172 appreciation thread. If you follow me on Facebook at Renomotive you will likely have seen this 👀 Anyway, Some background/pics. I had djw John's old flamer for a few years. Looked great, But shock horror...

Got various wheels for this, Still unsure what to run. Got some 2118's i've yet to get tyres on. Also got the 16" f1's refurbed but no tyres as of yet 😅 Bought some evo corse fondmetals. They are insanely cool but just dont feel they are suited for this ☹️ so have a brand new set forsale if...

Nearly upto date - Got another set of doorcards done, This time by a company called Transcal. They are absolutely fantastic. Ben was a great help, Giving me samples to take away to get as close to the trendlines as possible. Here they are - Got most of the interior back together now, Unsure...

Ran out of room for pics, Have some more. Had to move it outside to get a chassis out the back of the workshop for another project i'm working on 🙄 so here it is outside, Driven under its own power. First time in 8-9 years 😅

Next up, Lets fit the refubed hubs I bought ages ago...More problems. Turns out the bearing were pressed in/out on the brake tabs 😅 so caliper carriers were hitting the discs.... Refurbed another set of hubs myself this time, Jobs a good'n. Front brakes/hubs etc all built now. The plan was to...

I feel this post needs its own section, Its so laughable....If you're up this end of the world and looking for interior work. AVOID SAMCO INTERIORS LIVINGSTON. Absolute roaster, But in keeping with every disaster this car has endured, Heres what a 6 month wait on doorcards got me. These are for...

Managed to get a pair of good rear quarter glass windows from breakers as they are NLA. Scott from Scott-Glaze perth popped in to get them in 🤙

Suppose i should give an update...its not far off 2 years since the last one. Sure you will be pleased to know it runs and drives, And mot is provisionally booked 👀😆 Got the engine/box in November 22.

My super rare 05 plate ph1 in inferno orange 👀 #Ph1theworld #Ph182

Hi mate. Give me a message of what you're after and I'll see what I have. Will pass on my number also 👍 Cheers

This is Matt Bishop, think @partybish is his user....This was the irish reg one that he managed to get it swapped back onto its original plate :cool::D

Couldn't resist sticking these on this morning. Sill protection stickers. I got x1 set made for my own car with the Renault Sport colours on in keeping with the ph1 theme, Thanks to my mate Scott for sorting these! Still have some oem ones in stock if anyones after a set.

Got a shift on it this weekend...interior is fairly getting on...And got to sit in the car for the first time since 2015 I think!?Will mix opinion i'm sure 👀 Have fitted ph2 grey carpets and Trendlines. Will likely get the doorcards trimmed in black alcantara to match the seats. Unsure if i'll...

Got them a while ago, sure the company was 'vin tags UK'

Trying to get things as damn near on as possible 🤣 rear window stickers must have been chucked on by a random person at the time as none of the 5 i checked were the same. So stuck it in a similar place as best it would look. New fogs fitted in coated surrounds also, the small details really do...

Few more updates, Getting time is always the hardest part! Replacement subframe/beam fitted. Power steering pipes on, new PS fluid bottle, coilovers/top mounts. (Wishbones are temp!) Alot of small bits in the bay in, Scuttle built up/all black bits ceramic coated by The Detailing Station and...

Bought as much as i can new over the years as i've found things. Anything used has been refurbished (power steering pipes etc as an example) I also have x2 ph1's as donor cars and box loads of bits from around 10 years of saving bits/breaking them 🥲. There will be alot of ph1 bits forsale when...

Bit more progress on the sunflower over the weekend....will update my thread when i get a minute 😅
