Citroen Saxo VTR progress
 

Hi guys Im Kev from Ireland!

Recently i came over to the UK to meet a lad Called Curtis (u/n curt) about his Black Saxo VTR :D

He is a member on here and his progress thread can be found Here (Clickyy)

He Left Curtis Like this at his house in Torquay a 680 mile round trip from Ireland!



Curtis nearly cried!

when he got back to Ireland he needed a few things doing.

the axle was ruined so a new one was fitted so he looked like this





then a clutch and gear box changed was needed!
a 1.4 box was put on joe in a previous life and when the gearbox was fitted the wrong shafts were put in which caused all sorts of problems.







the remains of the old f**ked gearbox





Well i know the engine is good as it pulled quite well at the dyno curtis did :D





^^ the picture that sold me the car :D

then i decided to polish up his tip abit!

SHINEY BITS :D



the next mod was LED dials sat there for two hours soldering them in :D



new door cards and chrome lock pins



citreon sport fuel cap
and gear knob n citroen sport pedals :D











And how Joe Stands now :D



curtis says im not allowed to change the name so hes still called joe!

He might be attending FCS 13 this year so i may see you all there! i have some plans that will be announced in the next couple of days so watch this space :D





Little joe out side work :D



well thats all guys i hope you like feel free to comment!

From Kev!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh fancy seeing you here!!!


I miss joe so much :(

Well he is in a better place now curt :) even in his heated garage

well ive been hard at work today.

ive sorted a few things and painted a few things :D

The calipers are now green to go with the green sticker on the side and i think they will go well with the pro race 1.2's that i'm swaying towards but i haven't decided yet :D

Joe is still in pieces on axle stands in the shed poor boy! So here are some pictures from today!













Matches the tape measure in the back ground haha ^^

needed the rear wiper so fitted one back in with 16v fuel lines and a new shelf support



and pair of good inner wheel archs covers alone with the first aid kits



some new exhaust mounts brake spring adjuster and wheel nuts



some new stronger wish bone bolts



and all the clips to repair the body kit as a arch fell off



missing arch panel :ouch:

so i got lazy and couldnt be asked to reverse the car out the drive so bumped it up on the grass and got stuck like a complete COCK! :panic:

Good show with the new parts, how much did the the rear brake bias valve set you back new?
Might need to put some new lines in, I know I had to as the lines just werent coming out of the old one

the rear brake compensator valve only cost me feck all as got it from work as i work in citroen cost me 42euro and is priced at 83.75+vat some parts i get for free as im so good at my job :) and my saxo has all 12 brake pipes on order costin me only 50euro as putting ABS on it as doing a 16v convr with big spec

Bargain thats cheap! infact very cheap

It pays well to work at Citroen :)

Come and give mine a makeover next pls :p

Haha sure I bring the meddy kit over and sort yours out at fcs! Lol

Do you have prices for 4 new nuts for the droplinks? or a part number

Well drop links are price at €43 each part number 5087.40

And the nuts are €2 each part number 6939.77

Best just to get two new drop links as they come with bolts auto factors would be cheaper

I only need the nuts. And cheers for the number!

You can get nuts to fit from any place that sells nuts and bolts as there only a 19mm with a nylon locker on it try BnQ or halfords

So little update my Saxo is being stripped out of everything to a bare shell as going to get the whole shell sandblasted to the metal so I can do it to how I want as got to replace some floor panels as some dope at the mot garage jacked the car up wrong
