So so awesome.

This. It defies belief when people are too tight to pay a specialist or a dealer to look at it but are more than willing to buy a million pounds worth of parts for it and spend every weekend messing about.

Even if rain does get in, it won't be enough to cause any issues. Unlike the R19's that used to leak all over the spark plugs! Lol

You say you can't afford £200 for a set of alloys.... So you've spent £100 so far. (£50 wheels, ££50 tyres?) Plus the cost of filler (I advise not to use filler but that's a different thread!) sand paper, wet and dry, primer, colour, laquer and whatever polishing products you use. As you've...

My mate (Matt, bloke with glasses and about 8 teeth in his entire head) and his kids saw you at the weekend. Said they spoke to you too and you were a very nice man! They also said your daughter is a good driver and the car sounded better than anything there!

If I had the money, I'd buy that. That's a safer investment than anything I can think of! What a car!

Teeth are overrated anyway.

I've done countless shocks and springs on 172/182's and can confirm, 100%, you don't need compressors .

195-55-15 tyres will look like balloons. You need 195-50-15.

In all my years on this forum, all the 172/182's I've had, I've only ever known one 172 blow a head gasket and that was after the guy drove it down the motorway with a cracked radiator. Very uncommon.

Just buy a 172 in the same colour as your 1.2. Swap the number plates and vin number over and bob's your monk house.

No. But you will need ECU/UCH as a matching pair so they can talk to each other and work. You can buy them on here for under £200. But you'll need a complete loom too. Good luck fitting one of those!!

It was easier to type that than to explain about swapping blades! lol

It will cost you more in parts than it would to buy a 172. If you're determined to do it, buy a complete car (one that's been rear ended maybe?) and you'll need to swap over the following... Engine, gearbox (and obviously clutch) , driveshafts, shocks and springs, subframe, wishbones, discs...

Depends what shocks and what setting they're on, plus the spring rates etc. Not as simple as measuring arch gap unfortunately.

Certainly not my cup of tea looks wise. And i've yet to drive a Hyundai/Kia/daewoo or whatever s**t makes are out there, where the gearstick actually feels like it's attatched to anything other than candyfloss. I'd probably buy a Kia/Hyundai if I wanted a car to get from A to B and I had...

A mk1 clio with no MOT is not worth £700. Unless it's got £400 cash in the glovebox.

No.

Because I feel guilty, and I'm a nice man, get dan to get the box out and you bring it to me. I'll take it and collect it from agency and you can collect it from me. Will save you 2+ hours of driving.

I get £40 minimum for a cat. Genuine Citroen Picasso cats can get over £120!

I wouldn't fit a second hand box, not without re-furbing it first. They're s**t at the best if times let alone one that you have no clue about the history.

Once a turd always a turd?

I've met good police and i've met utter c***s. I've met really good shop staff and i've also met utter mongoloids. I've had good Doctors and some terrifying ones. That's life.

Die.

Chatting to Sam Last night and we said one day, I'd massively regret it! Lol.

f**k knows. There's one on car and classics for £6999 (lol!) and then scruffy ones sell for a grand. Somewhere in between I suppose. I'd be happy with £12-1500.

Yep. Keeping it outside it would end up faded and rotten in no time. It's a 25 year old ford, it's not designed to get wet! Lol

Lol! As soon as I move house, i'm getting one to cheer myself up!

Exactly so I can't sell that!

Maybe he should put a picture of a salad up to explain the issue?
