well it seems all has worked well in the end, however id have been quite annoyed at the mess around that's for sure

Welcome along bud. You want to keep that thing in the garage and bring her out on nice hot Sunday's! that thing will be worth a few bob when its 50 years old with 30K on the clocks! I personally couldn't do this with a car as i think they're for driving, but it could give you a nice pay day...

Welcome along bud, hopefully you'll get the errors fixed soon All the best

Welcome along bud Both cars look rather nice! Look forward to seeing your updates etc :up:

Welcome along pal Hope you enjoy your stay bud :up:

Welcome along bud I'm also a newbie here so can't help much with your queries, but I've got a 172 and want a 182. There isn't much difference in them but I'd just like a car just a little newer. As for things to look out for.. well, just buy one that runs and drives bud! 😂 <<--...

Awesome stuff! Look forward to seeing the updates to this too :up:

This is coming together rather well! Lovely work

Mega bucks for all this stuff! Awesome mate! Certainly 'No Expense spared' approach :up:

What a lovely car

Sure is bud, hopefully she will be running by February :up: We all love the mascot Nan! 🙈

Update time Firstly, this happened... Doh! Rather annoying but due to the hold up with the lock up, there was nothing I could do. I knew that It was of course inevitable that it would happen at some point. I'd spoken to the landlord previously about getting the car into the lock up for...

Hi guys... As I'm not doing a lot at work tonight I thought I'd ask you all a question, so that tomorrow afternoon when I wake up I may have a few suggestions/ answers. I have a Phase 2 172 (02 reg I believe) I've never seen it running, and I've not a lot of idea why, apart from the fast...

I'd like to know what this is also, as I'm having issues starting mine and it's got loads of things that it COULD be... If I find a fix to my issue, I'll let you know

Thanks bud I'm in :grinning:

Evening gents, I can't open my bonnet, I've tried someone pulling the handle on the inside of the car, whilst I'm putting pressure on the bonnet, I've even broken the (non RS) grille and I still can't get it out Any suggestions please I'll be back in 5 mins :up:

Great photos guys!

I've just spent the last hour searching for cars on that Jap Auction Site! 😂

I look forward to seeing what happens with this! Was/Is it cost effective doing it this way?

^^^^ that was quality Welcome along bud, the car looks like it needs a clean but I'm sure under that dirt it's a beauty! Hopefully see a project thread shortly.

Thanks gents.... I've had a spanner thrown into the works this evening when I went down to the unit to finalise some things... all will come to light shortly, depending which route I take :grin::grin:

Small Update The workspace Well after much delay with the unit, it was taking the mick! I've been on the phone constantly over the last month trying to sort the unit. In short, the unit wasn't secure and needed a lot of work. I put a proposal to the Landlord and he's agreed to do all of the...

Welcome along bud. :up: Hope you find all the parts you're looking for and get the information you require to make your car just what you're after.

So, the list so far is as follows. Please just copy the updated post and paste into your reply. (Or quote it and delete the quotation marks when replaying) 1. 20vKarlos - East Sussex - Clio 172 2. British_tommy - Horsham - Clio 197 RB 3. Chris Blue - Hove - Clio 172 4. JackD - Worthing - Clio...

Well this took a different route to what I thought it would! I'd just like to say that number 36 looks like a great garage for two great cars!

Welcome along bud. The car looks good and I hope the forum helps you out loads mate :up:

Welcome along bud Lovely car history and look forward to seeing the updates :up:

Have you considered buying a trailer and just insuring for track days? Surely this is the cheaper option in terms of long term and better if the car breaks?

Welcome along bud! Car looks great and the plans are even better. Look forward to the updates :up:
