Looks a nice straight carCool

Glad to see the chavvy grille is not on it!!!!!Big grin

If you really must keep the gay induction kit,air-box is way betterYes ,remove the orig hose you have got between filter and TB,then get yourself some pipe so you can raise it up Thumbs up


Lol tbh the engine has quite a grunt with it on - so i'm happy :p
I think i'll track some pipe down and see what i can do.

The other grill is sitting in the shed waiting for me to decide whether or not to put it on lol!

It may be worth me thinking about the standard airbox again, but with an uprated filter.

It took a while for me to get out and work on the car again; mainly due to waiting for some parts to come through and also the time and motivation to do it!

So lets start with what goodies came through the post:


Yup, you guessed it, Rich's old strut brace from the poor beaten up 6'
2 hockey sticks in good condition thanks to Ash from the Club306 forum
and the two paint cans, well.... i picked them up Friday after getting some paint mixed (look below for the finished article).

On Friday i fitted the Hockey sticks


And Saturday pushed onto the wheels.
I've only done the one wheel for now, as the garage was closing when i chose to get the tyre pushed down.
Started with this:

Then the progression as shown:




Just so you get the idea of what the proper colour is, it's a red pearl mixed in with the black to give it this effect when in sunlight:



Soooo after Lacquering it up and s**tting myself when this happened Cry :

Thankfully disappears after a minute or two Big grin

I got bored in the end, and hungry... so i thought i'd stop indoors for lunch and a brew


My next task was to tackle rich's strut brace, now the paint was flaking quite badly from being on his Bianca, so i gave it a strip down Wink and spray of paint..




Because i had to let that dry i thought i'd clean the car and give the paintwork a spruce up.
...... Which then turned into T-cutting because i scratched the entire bodywork in the process

I hope you can see the scratches in that photo Blink

I've had to 3000 grit sand the paint back to remove the scratches i created. and it's slowly started coming up.
However work had to stop as i wanted to bake the strut brace, and the only way to do that???


Yup... you guessed it.

What a better way to bake the paint on fully than to bolt it on to the car (carefully) and then turn the engine over into a sweet purr


That was pretty much it for that day... I had to wait for someone to drop off his Buffer machine so that it can remove the scratches better and with heat.
Then the bonnet should be shining like its meant to!

It's been a little crap this last week as when buffing the car up:


Yes, this person will be more careful next time!
Ordered another sticker and the bonnet is now 98% Scratch free! Amazing how many stone chips i have though Sad


Been working on the other 3 cyclones lately, but now doing one at a time as the preparation i did was so shocking, the primer cracked! :O
So stripped one entire wheel back to bare metal and it is now primed ready for me to spray it up tomorrow.

I will be using a Cyclone as a spare wheel possibly but i have one question;
Would it be safe enough to use a one rotation tyre to pop on the spare, or would i have to get multidirectional?

Been a long long time since i updated this project thread.

The Car:

Waxed and polished
Exhaust rattle from the heat shield fixed and stopped.
Cleaned interior
Cyclones couldn't be finished as the weather got far too cold before i could finish them up. I'll have to try again in the new year.

Me: My Licence is STILL not here!!! DVLA still haven't made a decision and it probably wont be made before February next year because they are being stupid regarding this. Sad

It's taking the mick now Sad

Nice work and good to see it progressing. You've done a lot, I know it is very time consuming especially when working outside. Great to see these Rallyes being looked after. I've done a fair bit on mine too.

I can't wait for salt season to be over so I can drive mine.

Thanks all Smile

This is and has been for a long time - my dream car, i have no future plans to get rid of the Rallye and it's always a shame to see such an iconic car go to the scrapyard. Sad

Was gonna say the same thing, great effort on the car, engine bay and front end look good but let down by the dirty number plate

Also think the strut brace in red looked better

Right, i thought that now i have the right amount of time off to work on the car - i might as well crack on with the undersealing that has been begging me to do it!

Start with car on ramps



Followed by a brief insight to how much needs to be done:




I think they've rusted somewhat.


Question. Can i avoid putting the above heat shields back into place and be left with the one you see still sitting on the chassis?

After peeling back some more rubber coating, i found this Wink :

Which eventually turned into this Shock :



Now stopping for a brew whilst the Rust treatment works it's magic!! Smile
