Well not so much a project, but a thread to keep all my info/updates in.
After owning a 1.2 16v as my first car, i moved on to an Iceberg Ph2 172, was a bag of s**t when i got it, had the belts done etc and put 25/30k miles on it iirc, but it was on its way out and i had quite fancied a megane for a while so i went and got an R26, i sold the clio to Fraser J as a winter car... and missed it straight away!
Got the megane in August 2013 and done a deal 2 weeks ago with MGCup for his ITB'd 172 cup.
Megane is good, fast and comfy etc but its just not the right car for me. Clios are just too much fun and have so much character.
I dont really have any plans as such, possibly cut a bit out of the exhaust so its not sticking so far out, maybe some bucket seats etc later in the year but im over the moon with it as it is!
Gave it a wash, clay and polish on saturday and my mate took a few pictures, nothing special as he only just got his camera on friday!
