just usual stuff, rusty rear arches, check all electrics, including the oil guages, make sure its been serviced regularly and check all paperwork to varify the low mileage.definatly check the cambelt cus even though it aint reached 72k if its still on the original belt its old and probably could...

lol good question havent got that far yet :o gonna wait for it to arrive and see what other bits i will need, my valver gearbox has only done 80k and seems to be doing ok, so for now i might just use that, i dont drive mine megga hard or do drag racing so it should last a while yet hopefully.

just wanna make sure that the 16 v gearbox is ok to use with the williams engine as i have got one being delivered this week but he hasnt got a gearbox with it? any other things i need to consider when getting the williams engine fitted?

after u have removed all the screws, there are a few 'pop' type clips near the bottom of the door, just give it a tug, might be some black sticky s**t on the door card too, after its free, push the door card up out of the window rubber.

guy called scott, not sure if he is on here but he goes on williamsclio though, its from there recent donnington track day. think he has managed to push most of the dented roof back out!

love the colour, fair play, looks like youve been working hard on it, but personnaly i think those bumpers are awful!

gah i wanted to come to this but my car is currently sitting on the work's carpark, with which i think is a collasped wheel bearing :dapprove:

i think all the mk1 clio's have the hole for the speakers.

the sierra sounded quite beasty getting to the start line, didnt put up much of a fight though!!

gtir was quick! could have done that 106 if ya hadnt scuffed the gear change!

got the same with my valver, had front bearing replaced less than 6 months ago, now the passenger side disc can move about 1" side to side but i have no rumbling sound like i did before. think its probably collapsed:eek:

yeah spoke to matt brown online yesterday, he recons its wheel bearing too, so weird as there is no rumbling sound at all!

nah no rumbling at all, its had all the wheel bearings replaced within the last year

maybe a bit extreme, but for the last few weeks whenever turning right in my car (valver) there is a horrible screeching sound, today i took the wheel off to find very fine score marks on the disc, then i noticed u can physically 'move' the disc about an inch side to side:S surely this cant be...

anyone seen it? just saw it on channel, 4 says "french car, British designers" never knew that one!

how about just making a simple false floor? just a thin pieace of mdf cut to the shape of the boot, slip it under the carpet then screw the amp down to it, then can attatch the sub box to it too if u have one, stop it slipping about

always best to be wary, my bro's mate nearly had his p1 pinched by 3 guys in a pinched bmw m3 the threatened him with a knife, managed to get away though.

damn, couple of casualties there! weather looked liked it turned out ok

ha yeah thats probably me! i work on northgate, at a conservatory manufacturers

whoops! how did u manage that?

tom think you'd get away with either colour coded or freshened up black trim as your car isa darker colour but the lighter colours like mine need colour coding as the black looks odd!! http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y1/derv1980/my%20car/100_0859.jpg

correct!

i dont think its that bad, specially for a first car, granted a few things need tidying up like removing the stickers and the mesh, i dont think the graphics down the side look too bad, if your happy with it, thats the main thing
