she still scrubs up well for her 115k chap :) if I go mint its sort the little bits of surface rust on the sills edges (jack points) and respray front and at she'll be as good as new :) belts and clutch need doing early next year so i'm taking the engine out so prime opportunity to get the bay...

I know Rob, but tbh this car isn't really about power, and I like the noise since selling the yozza!! its a bit slow really in standard trim, so i'll take a bit of a racket for the giggles rather than worry about going quick, the mk1's are for going fast ;)

cheers folks, I do love this car. in two minds as what to do with it. either mint it up or standardise and sell to buy the mx5 itch of sheep!

mines on 115k currently and due belts etc next year and I know alternator, clutch and front discs and pads need doing too. so next year i'm looking at around 600 odd in parts and a busy weekend. which imo is worth it! after that though it may well be a case of keep it tidy for a couple of...

sack it then, i'll just crack out the engine enamel and paint whats there

this timings going to be too tight mate, I need to be out by 11:30 ish really to get down south for some car part trading, perhaps we'll stick a pin in it until following week or something! plus RB needs a vac/wash and the damn back box jumped its hangars yesterday so its sat in disgrace at...

win! love it chap and really cant wait to see it out and about, so cant imagine what your feeling like now! reckon in the event of rolling it that cage will be okay.......I reckon there is more room for metal.......................lolz! :)

Cheers Dan, no its not wrapped its a full carbon fibre item, accept no substitutes ;) and Daz that shed behind is now sold and gone!

i'll round up the homos and we'll come dogging down alf's sunday morn, what sort of time you thinking chap?

love under the bonnet :) rest of the car does nothing for me i'm afraid :(

welcome, im not miles away either :)

side strips are just filler I think, god knows for sure though as bodyshop did it!

find a friendly member whos car has passed mot recently near you, borrow their cat for a test, its only 4 bolts per car to get it off and swap over. then you'll know its definitely cat that's the issue if it passes. then search for a replacement, that way saves wasting money. if you were...

xerus grey or trophy red not that i'm bias on mk1 colours!

good, means you can give it beans without her whinging. she can stay home and you can go out have fun ;)

Dave, your just jealous as your dull snore mobile doesn't even show up in pictures ;) get the bean sorted, then all the girls will stare at you too ;) x

lovely as ever chap, how you fixed this weekend coming? RB meets flower for a shoot? :)

generous for you mate ;)

What do people use to cover the ugly strut tops? I don't want bling bling hill power type ones, I was hoping for either black rubberised or something similar?? quick search didn't turn up much! cheers Ben

few bits to tidy under bonnet like the rusty engine mount, but she's getting there :)

I remember that well, pinstriping in the boot for the win!lol! its now clio number 4 however, the grey car (WDY) is sold

Cars in winter spec now, so looking fairly standard....ish :) cheers Ben

above doesn't fit the thread requirements, its just a bay.....no engine

its hopefully going to look pretty mean once done as well :) grey clio I bought the other week is sold and going tomorrow and parts are steadily selling from the black 182, so free cash to get the red one running :)

Re: My BG 182 Clio daily driver nice, wondered where that plate ended up, I was half tempted to buy it but didn't have the cash at the time :) I have colour coded to wheels bullets, I love them :)

Ai, Danny was going to slap an Eaton on it before his circumstances changed!

don't worry your majesty, i'll look after it, provided it doesn't rot away on the drive over the winter ;)

I do like the bines, however unfortunately Daz I've given them away to pay for getting the car collected for me and renting a garage to put it in for a couple of months. its getting the willy wheels off the RB for now, then we'll see, probably back on the superlegs for track work :) Dave -...

I couldn't say no to this one, emotional ties to it so had to own it :) It needs work but will be well specified and beautiful when done. But sorry daz,its remaining in this guise as a track car.
