Citroen Nemo 1.4HDi .... Wheels & Springs Fitted

[JTDi]

Lol, not much of an exciting thread but thought I may as well throw it up. Not even sure why I bought it, I tried to rationalise to myself that it would stop me wrecking about in the F10 supposedly lol, but I mainly think I was bored.

It's a 2009 Citroen Nemo 1.4HDi - with 70 wild horses under the bonnet.

Where do I start ... No MOT, a few wee dents here and there, a big dent in the drivers wing, needs the injector seals replaced, and has a nice little crunch when slipping into 3rd gear (I suspect the sheer torque has ruined the synchro). Also needs a service, and I need to put my own touch to it .. Its never seen much hard work, so is in fairly decent nick. Runs on fumes too, brilliant fuel economy!

Plans are:

Years MOT
Remove Dents
Replace Injector Seals
Have the Gearbox sorted by Gardiner Transmissions
Lowering Springs (apparently Corsa D lowering springs fit)
16" / 17" Alloys, something nice and simple
Ply-line the rear, then cover the ply-lining in some sort of felt-style material

And then drive the absolute dung out of it

Here she is .... What a beauty

Thanks to @TimmyTSR for taking the beast down to Lisburn MOT centre, where it managed to get itself a full years MOT needing nothing more than 2 front tyres (again, the torque must've ruined them) and the lights set.

Wheels are here, and getting tyres fitted today, and I've ordered 60/40 mm Corsa D lowering springs which are getting fitted ASAP.

Its with the mechanic today getting the injector seals fitted, along with a service, and an Air-Flow-Meter.

I'll hopefully get it ply-lined this weekend / early next week.

Can anyone suggest anything to cover the plywood in, like a material similar to whatever is used in Boot-Builds etc?

Its like a van only smaller

Awful James just awful

I have bought some silly things in the past when I've been bored..... But not a van lol.

Fill it with subwoofers and use it for DB battles

 

[Lappintyre]

Shag pile carpet and a disco ball from the roof, and the obligatory bumper sticker 'If you see this van a rockin' don't come a knockin' '

Awful James just awful

Lol, I convinced myself I needed a van somehow.

Haha, whattttt?

Only one way to find out

It'd need to be a fairly small disco ball, things pretty small inside lol

 

[JTDi]

Mechanic rang and said the injector seals etc are sorted, oil and filters changed, and he's halfway through fitting the springs.

Wheels now have tyres fitted too so will have them fired on when the suspension is back together.

 

[JTDi]

So......

 

[big_pete]

Smart looking wee van lol

 

[andy_gdon]

That's very tidy. Always had a notion for a wee van but never had the balls to do it .

 

[mckeown]

that is a cool van! looks a lot better! htd!

 

[Woodcutter]

Felt spec'd Nemo!

 

[FM155]

Looks like a lowered washing machine lol

If I could get away with another vehicle, I'd like an old van, something 70's.

 

[Gibbo]

I like it, fella that works beside our place has one and I cant help but smile every time I see him in it for some reason lol must be the name of it!

 

[Nicky]

There was 1 for sale in our yard a couple of months ago. All the size of them inside is hilarious. The side sliding door took me to the fair... They really are tiny compared to anything else.

 

[gav525]

Amazing what a difference lowering and the right set of wheels makes!

I really like it!

 

[Wild Thing]

They turn on a saucer but the gearbox and clutch are very problematic. Looks well!

 

[StevenMc29]

I think that's really cool. What other vans are there in this size range!

 

[JTDi]

Lol thanks everyone! It's such a cool wee van, I love it! Can't help but smile when driving it

They are really small, now with it lowered, when I stand beside it, it's as high as my shoulder lol it's brilliant!!

 

[JTDi]

It's getting buffed et today and tomorrow, will have it back tomorrow evening and throw some more pictures of it up

 

[Laundrymike]

Wow, that's some difference now from your first pic!

I'm in Belfast and have the proper lining carpet that's used in camper vans, boats, etc. I've high temp glue also if you still need some
