Mate im sure ive said this before on one of the many sites you post all these pics up on, but........ what are your plans for this campus shell?? you seem to of spent months taking off every little part maybe some of its overkill but whatever.
please don't tell me your going to do all this then keep it as a campus? as even if its fully re-painted inside and out it will fetch Ł200 max.
Are you building a GT turbo lump to stick back in? then sticking on a gt turbo kit? if so fair do's

My mate works for Renault and he reckons the discs will crack when you try and press them out.

Very common on these.



P.S your not allowed to gloat if they don't
