More updates sent across, well happy with how it's looking and the photo updates!

Will be putting it back together myself so cavity wax is a good shout 👍

Few update photos from the bodyshop.

😄 I have full quarter panels so will hopefully have it put in to above the fuel filler but they'll let me know once they've looked at it..

There is a small amount of rust starting on the filler area and where the bumper meets the panel. They are going to give me a better idea on cost when it's in next week.

Patching this side as below shows unless it's a lot worse when they start chopping away, but it looks fairly isolated. The drivers side will be done further down the line..

Car is booked in for the rear 1/4 rust repair Monday so i made a start stripping it back this morning to save them some time.

Only a small update, hated the plain insert with no numbers! Fresh paint, decal & lacquered, looks much better 👌

Changed the oil, filter and plugs today. The plugs are 8 or 9 years old but only about 8k on them. They looked like they was ready to be changed! All 4 plugs seemed to be not done up all that tight? Seemed strange to me? Correctly torqued up now anyway.

Low miles & belts done, if its got no rust in the common areas and tidy underneath I'd say that was a great price.

I guess aswell as low mileage the condition of the cars - bodywork/underneath is also important when trying to gauge a price? It's about time there was a bigger margin between the rough ones that have corrosion and rust underneath and good clean tidy examples!

So I changed out the steering wheel for a 300mm Mountney steering wheel which looks just as retro and cool as these clios! This was before putting in the garage and starting to disassemble engine parts.. Not going crazy with this as this ones meant to be used and enjoyed but as I've got the...
