Charge him double!! the tight Fecker did not buy a A610 badge!! I hope the car is rotten!!

Easy now bada-bing .I don't think he is even aware they exist ...Anyway better to save that dosh for me

It's not that bad and has come out pretty much intact .Calipers need a refurb ,intake hose is fecked and general surface shite .Also that bloody tar BigM had sprayed all over it is a right pain

Rot ,not too bad but need to give it a thorough inspection once all the front gear is off .There is some on the leading edge of the footwells .

:lol: Easy now bada-bing .I don't think he is even aware they exist ...,,,,,,,,

If he works for Practicall Shite Boxes then that's him!!

Yes looks like somebody loves the "black crap, cover up rust" system.

I take it you dont like him then phil!!!

Brings back happy memories seeing my old faithful sat there.

Yes I don't think that "rust treatment" I had "professionally" done just after I got the car did any good, probably the opposite to be honest

In good hands though and will be nice to see all the underneath bits looking mint

Bit harsh Don Dini? I understood he doesn't like plaques or anything non OE so probably why he didn't take you up on the offer. I do like what you have done though and if I ever get another 610 I'll buy one from you or I might find a horses head sat next to me in bed

Did you hear that Lee? Subframe & wishbones painted OE style please.... ( basically don't bother they were rusty from new )

Well what are you waiting for....................................................................... .

Off to the blasters .



Slight repair needed to subframe .

Bolt missing bellhousing to lump

Needs a clutch and I probably need another 2 for the Vent and other 610 so hope there is some discount for bulk buys as Mr D says Renault list at 675

Engine ancillaries all stripped off for clean and refurb .


Turbo looks/feels to be binding slightly under thrust and evidence that something has gone through it with slightly chipped blades .

Front gear all off for same + we have some rot to attend to on both leading edges .




She's got company now though for the long Winter nights ,proper pedigree one with a numbered plaque and evryfink

What you doing to the yellow one?

I really like the picture with the yellow 610 in the background, very artistic

This Minty A610 must be a Polo Mint BRING ON THE RUST!!!

You could bear a grudge for Sicily Vendetta


If they were all mint then I'd have nothing to do innit .
Yellow one has big plans and will be here a fair while I think

Yes sorry....

Hope the yellow one will be getting the "keep it original treatment".

Sort of ...ish ..kinda

All parts back from blasters .
I have also stripped the hubs bare now but like a dolt should have left the old bearings in for blast so these will have to be done by hand ..unless I re-fit the old remnants ...
Wishbones,sub-frame etc is being powder coated so they also will be fully re-bushed along with balljoints .
Engine covers brackets and the like will be painted after etch prime .Nothing bling just nice and clean
