Renault Clio Williams Ph2: Restoration Underbody

The whole body of this Clio Williams is very well preserved.
No serious rust spots or rust holes were found.
First, all attachments were removed from the underbody.

Image

Only harmless, brown rust spots were found, such as here…

Image

… and rusted shielding plates of the exhaust system or rusted screws.

Image

The rear axle was removed.

Image

Image

The fuel tank as well.

Image

At the lift points on both threshold, there was most work.
Either the points were deformed by improper lifting of the car, or even injured so far, that the rust could eat the plate.
Nevertheless, the repair was no big deal at these places.

Image

Image

Image

After repairing all rusty spots, the bare areas were treated with Brunox.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Thereafter, these places were primed.

Image

Image

Image

Image

All sheet edges / transitions were also cemented after priming.

Image

Image

Image

Next, colored, overcoatable underbody protection was used to simplify the subsequent painting in the body color.

Image

Image

Image

Now the entire underbody could be painted in body color.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

All steel parts of the underbody were blasted, black powdered or black passivated.

Image

The rear axle was assembled again.
Of course, all wearing parts and screws were replaced.

Image

Image

The rear axle was mounted again.

Image

New fittings are a matter of course.

Image

Image

Also in the interior again everything in original condition and sealed with foil.

Image

The fuel tank was cleaned, and the hoses and clamps replaced.

Image

The fuel tank was reinstalled.

Image

Image

The new handbrake cables were still mounted.
Also the brake lines, some of which had to be repaired. In addition, there were steel brake lines in blue.

Image

The rusted shields of the exhaust system were blasted, blue galvanized, and reassembled.

Image

Image

Image

Image

The front shield in the center tunnel was actually still available from Renault.

Image

Finally, the devil Group A complete exhaust system was mounted.
