Glad it sold mate, yours was my first choice and if it was still around after christmas I'd almost certainly have bought it, another car has come up now though, can't turn it down really ;)
P.s kev, I'm sure this one'll be lovely, but I'll keep an eye out for those things :)
Hi mate, said I'd have a read, just sat and read the lot, would love to have the funds/space to give what your doing a go, love wiring, so I'd love the challenge! LOL!
Looks a nice project so far, insurance is really gonna bum ya, I know you said the company would sort it, but I guess time will...
Anyone had a gela skin????
I really want to order one but want to see one on a phone first (not to mention find someone to order one with (cheaper postage))
From the battery, through the gromit that the bonnet release goes through (passenger footwell) down that side of the car under various plastics into boot.
DONE
There are plenty of guides in the members section which tell you how to get the door cards off, you got pics of the door cards you have and the ones you want? And the electric window switches that are on them?
If you can show me that I'll be able to tell you if you'll have any troubles...
Door from a breakers could come with or without window, but I'd be pretty certain the breakers would have a window you could have to go in the door too. Replacing the electric window mech is easy too, so nothing too much to worry about, door card comes off with 4 torx screws (along the bottom)...
Decent socket set, some torx bits, and a hammer and a few screw drivers (prising instruments) thats about it mate, as long as your not very bad at this kinda thing, I'd say you could do it yourself. If you were closer I'd offer a hand.
As I said in your other thread mate, not hard to do yourself with just a haynes to help if you need it, although I'm sure someone will be about to help out.
A new door from a breakers should be around 50£, I'd fit your lock to it (so you still only have one key) and then all should be well, try to get one in the right colour, or you are looking at around 100-180 to get it painted.
Where abouts are you from mate???
Yeah Rob's (EvilGiraffe) is a good example of how damn mean they can look, black is lovely, but around my way the ph1's are so rare I'm not worried about what colour it is :)
Cheers Needy,
109k Miles? Ouch! I know people say they go forever but it gets to a point where they need more and...
Changing locks is easy enough, PM Joshydee on here, (he runs cliospares) he did me a price on a whole lock set for a 1998 mkph1 and it was pretty good :) fitting isnt too difficult if you have a haynes or some common sense.
You can always get just one lock, but it'd mean you have different...
Great meet Mark and good to meet some more new faces. :-)
Work done was a very good price, although after giving the car a wash off I'm more than a little disappointed with the scratch they tried to take out on the drivers rear quarter :-( should I give them a call sometime and see what they...
I believe my search is over... That is all I'll say until new new year, when ho ho hopefully (see what I did there) my car will sell and all will be good in the world! :-)
Yeah that one was tasty looking, will request more pics I think and see from there, but there is no mention of belts etc so we'll see.
I'm just excited to be looking for a new car :) I won't rush into it, although when I sell my motor (which I'll have to before buying) I'll be in quite a...
Dan just seen your PM and then saw this...
Dont suppose you fancy a PX with my 1.2 then shift it on your forecourt? ;) I wouldnt want much for it, (and it'd be standard)
I would also then have the 172 interior for yours? (it all fits)
Clio_rich as in the guy who does tht mobile body...

I changed my door cards but I didn't take pictures I'm afraid, (I kinda neglected my project thread) its easy to do though, four screws along the bottom, interior opening handle screw and grab handle screw, then just pull like a biatch!
