Another One Saved...

[mgregson1980]

Well, after two months of ownership and pretty much replacing everything bar the rear beam and subframe (spares off for blasting and coating) and having the callipers rebuilt and painted (in the post), another phase 1 has been saved! I mean, the car already owes me £7K, but meh, I f**king love it.

Before and after below...

Money well spent. 👍🏻

£7k could have dropped you right into dull, generic ownership of a car that you pass twenty of per day, instead.

7k on new headlights?

I’ll get to it bro. I’m away for work for a couple of days, but I’ll get some pics up at the weekend.

Dedicated at 7k, but it's only money and they are cool cars. Loved mine.

7k on new headlights?

The £7K includes the £2K price of buying the car, but here is the list so far:

Fresh paint to the bonnet, roof and rear quarters
Full cam-belt service
Upper and lower inlet, cam cover and injector guard rail - bought spares and vapour blasted everything
A set of Renault OZ F1s bought and powder coated
New Engine top mount
New Coolant reservoir
New Cup shocks and Sportline springs front and rear
New Sabelt wheel to replace the melty original
New beam and front subframe (with the blasters)
Four new callipers (sent off for rebuild and paint)
Powerflex bushes - Dogbone, top engine mount, rear top mounts, rear beam, front wishbones
OE radio / cassette player
New pedals - machined to match the originals
ECU cover and bracket blasted and coated
PMS solid top mounts and brace
New Clio fitted mats
New OE pads and discs

I’m sure there is plenty more...

Oh yeah, new centre caps and wheel bolts
New custom ignition leads in yellow to match the oil filler cap and top engine mount
New battery
Slim black battery cover (not one of those big wedge things)
The seat leather re-connolised and repainted

Pretty much everything is brand new and OE, with the exception of the top mounts, brace, shocks, springs and bushes.
