swap you for the vee add mate ;-)
aboo, do it, you know you want to and tbh phase 1 mark 2s are getting old enough now to need the same amount of attention to run as a well looked after williams. but a decent williams will still command more money
too right it is, rained to day so lasted all of what, 18 hours clean! got a trip to the cinema out of it last night, forgot how much attention a clean willy recieves.....ahem
been running a mk1 daily for years now, cant get enough of the rattly old love ;-)
haha too right daniel san, i was thinkin other day how easy wud be to swap some sweat cams and pullies in there, changed tappets other week and was a piece of piss!:lol:
wasn't blowing welds, it stripped a thread and needed a new gasket due to possible air leak and crap state of the gasket...
all depends on how it behaves and how much it costs me to run over next six months leading up to its mot matey
i cleaned it tho and fell in love again, damn mark ones getting under my skin!!!!llol
cheers for the comments guys, its by no means immacualte and looking like in need of some mechanical attention this year but all in all not too bad

the passenger arch is okay, but right at the back where it meets the rear light cluster its just starting to go, drivers arch is a mess really, dodgy repair god knows when so its full of filler, wrong shape and blistered on the crap respray paint on it. also has a small amount of rust coming...

So with the cold finally breaking and the rain/snow stopping I decided to get off my arse and actually break out the bucket and sponge :D
As you can see...

jack, no idea if i overtook you or not, i did a lot of overtaking on the way to fcs ;-) cars running around 268bhp and 250lb/ft at the minute, 12.8 second 1/4 mile
not the diff no, it was first gear, stripped it totally on the first launch!!lol
got it home under its own steam though, rattled the 100 miles back up the m1
blew my gearbox again, so my car didnt pop a time ,but drove Ronee's naples itb'd beastie, clocked a 13.6@105 then took a few snaps to commemorate the moment!lol
think people are posting pics of their own cars as you kind of build your car to be as your favourite car would be, if you get me. whats the point of owning a car and finding one you like more, mines my car, it has all the little touches that others wont notice that make it mine, hence its my...
orange light looks like engine failure light lol
i'm about to fit a long ratioed jc5 out of a renault 19 turbo derv to my mk 1 clio turbo, i'll let you know how it goes on, at the minute it hits the limiter in 5th easily, indicated off the end of the clocks on std valver clocks, so 155 odd, not...
60fts were 2.2-2.4, so needs work
