It doesn't look that bad overall though: I even tried to polish the tailpipe, but it's a bit knackered: To be continued...

I gave the outside a very quick wash, just to get a sense of how bad the body work is. Found a few issues. Missing bit of wiper linkage: Headlights need sorting: One of the GT badges is missing from the front bumper: Crease in rear bumper: Damage to NSR arch: Stone chip on...

Maybe if mine goes pop

Bit of an update as I was messing about with it today... I gave the interior plastics a bit of a clean and scrubbed the front seats as they were pretty dirty. Don't have any before pictures as I forgot, but they came up ok: Annoyingly, my vacuum cleaner has died, so couldn't hoover it...

That sounds like my kind of thing 😂 I might have a bung about somewhere. Do you just remove the dump valve, then bung the two inlet pipes?

I've already copied your order for the induction kit parts 😂 Do you remember what bungs are needed?

It feels like it's going to roll over at the moment. I think the tyres are a bit much for the standard suspension 😂 How do I get rid of the dump valve? I want it to chatter :LOL: I couldn't be bothered earlier. Will post some in a bit. I've found a pretty high quality exhaust bodge, so...

So, as per the bangernomics thread, I've joined @Adeyspec on planet Twingo. Obviously mine is s**t and his isn't, but what can you do. I sold my 197 a couple of months ago in preparation for a dramatic change in circumstances. That's all dragging on a bit, so I was in need of another car. I'd...

It's turning up tomorrow so will see if I can find anything in the book. It's a 58 plate on 135k so should have had a couple by now. Not that bothered for £300 mind, but worth thinking about in case it's ok.

Hmmm, might ask the garage down the road how much they'd charge. Will see if I can find any evidence in the paperwork when the car turns up tomorrow first though.

I suppose it's good that it's easy, but that doesn't tell me how much I would be charged to do it :ROFLMAO: I'm sure I could do it myself, but not sure I really have the inclination. I suppose I might need it if I can't be bothered to do the belt on this one :LOL:

Anyone got any experience with this? I'm about to pick up a very cheap 58 plate Twingo GT with the little turbo engine. It might need a timing belt. Any idea on what sort of money it would be to have this done? The belt kit is only about £60 from ECP with their endless discount codes, but I...

100% this. Reliability and tuning potential are miles away from character. The K20 is undoubtedly a "better" engine, but character often comes from flaws. I quite like the FN2, and they do seem pretty good value. Not sure I'd have one over a Clio though and, for an every day car, something...

288 GTO is stunning. One of my favourite Ferraris.

Don't worry about that, would be good to see what you're starting from and where you end up with it!

There can't be many of these left, can there? Get some pics up. Love a MK1 Clio.

Lovely looking car - shame about the shonky workmanship underneath it all! True with so many restorations sadly. Nice to see it being put right though!

Looks like the K20 could have been in their from new!

Great that it's home and running. Hopefully you can do some light tinkering and, more importantly, just enjoy driving it after everything you've been through. Must have been quite a feeling to drive it again!

Wheels need putting back to gold

You've basically got too choices: Once you have the body kit fitted, you can measure how much wider you need the track to be and fit ridiculously low offset wheels or massive spacers. If you can get the width right like that, it will give you the look, but the car won't drive very well. The...

Couple of spots today. Can't remember the last time I saw an E46 M3 in the wild. I actually saw this one twice today. Middle aged bloke, covered in tattoos, built like a brick s**t house. Was driving it like a total helmet.

I hate to break it to the fat tub of lard, but he only has one supercar, and some would even argue that a GT3 RS is still a sports car like the other two. A hog roast meant for 200 to feed 60 tells you everything you need to know about his physique :ROFLMAO:

I can't say that bothers me at all. Life is too short to care what other people think of you.

I wonder if you can get the black interior on the normal one. The red interior puts me off more than the big wing.

Got a soft spot for those, especially in that colour.

Dare I ask what's next?

By cooler, I assume you mean because it looks more like a fridge that some has pushed over?

You alright?

It most certainly was!
