After looking at this car for about 3hours it's Fair to say its pretty amazing the time & effort that's gone into this by everyone involved is awesome. The car is a real credit to you Rhys.
Still think you should've taken my ph2 bumper and strips whilst I was there ha

Yours is a sealey right?
Yes but I have a mortgage,
going to be some flood light garage sessions going on soon I can tell.
This is like a completely pointless backwards project.
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Another clio number plate for the garage, lets see how long it takes to f**k this one up :)
In other news I'm going to be needing a battery impact gun thing to make my life easy/prelong the life of my breaker bar.
DannyR/rhys does yours undo drive shaft bolts?
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
possibly, plus I'm now 22 with 5 years no claims must help.
as for boost we will see what happens. Will call in the resident boost expert if so ;) saying that I think quinton would be up for a turbo build lol.
cheers Dom, crazy is a kind way to put it!
im...
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Cheers Craig! i look forward to another ph1.
Phil whats not to understand? lol.
Pretty much after talking/thinking alot it was inevitable that in 6months times i will end up selling what i bought and returning to a clio and as i prefer a ph1 it makes sense to cut...
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Plans? I havent even decided what to do yet. Though i know in a matter of weeks both cars will be in bits lol.
And theres going to be a shed load of parts being sold also, ha
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Its owned by one of my best mates, has a few bits to sort but nothing I cant do.
The monaco will be getting sorn'd the end of the month, and when insurance runs out I will be insuring the phase 1.
Everything had panned out nicely!
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Well the cars no longer for sale, looking at it through a more mature set of eyes I realised the cars i was looking at were going to cost more to insure that it does to run my car for a year.
Ive now down the logical thing and in a few weeks i will own this lol...
I am a fan, get going on the inside now! presuming its stripped, also get a swager on them holes through the metal panel.
You can get a hole here on either side too ;)
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
hahaha! true.
Steve told me earlier to build the clio i will want in 6months now, however that works its probably the thing I should do lol
My car would be ideal for this with a strong engine running 421's, you could still work wonders on the car ;)
Though im unsure if you could settle for a ph2, also the car was once owned by the someone where your car is, i think lol.
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Also have a feeling im going to have more luck selling the car if i put standard seats/steering wheel back in so if i have no interest in 2weeks ill be doing that I think!
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Every one goes through it, sadly every other person in my phone book has a clio (most of my close friends do lol) and several have spoke of selling recently, must be the cycle of the clio or something.
lol, why?
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
It is boring as f**k saving for a house, and I see sense in what you wrote Dan!
i would say I don't do sensible things, but I did sell the 350 to help out with the house buying, buying a house changes everything :(
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Lol! So true Danny, only you can decide wether you want rid! You'll be skint for a while anyway with the house, so with out the loan you'll be a little better off.
I'd be alright if I hadn't of kicked jess out could of borrowed her car, thinking about it I couldn't...
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
Biggest problem is it doesn't make me happy like the ph1, I don't care to much for running costs as it just sits there! Would be nice to sell it before my insurance runs out end of the month! (That means it was nearly a year ago I bought the 350 flol!)
Thing is...
Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco
I want it to sell just so i dont have to break it as i know youll get satisfaction from me doing that ;)
Im trying to restore the balance as theres to much monaco in the area! lol
100% not, they do nothing for me.
