Black Gold 182 project

[Bradleyreece1]

So after reading quite a few different threads on this forum, I thought I'd add my 2p piece and finally upload my own.
Bought the car at the weekend after a mate of mine having 2 172 cups and a 172 full fat. I'm far from a decent driver so bought a little clio in hopes that it'll slowly but surely bring my skill level up.
After my previous attendance at Oulton Park in my MK5 R32, I found that I had quite a few Clio's up my a*** so I thought it was only right that I went and bought one.

I will upload some pictures when I figure out how to, or if somebody wants to help out - feel free to comment 😂

As far as I’m aware, it’s got a full mongoose system on??
It had some absolutely dire excuses for bucket seats so they’re out and ready for the bin / making into a computer chair

Thanks for looking. Hope the above pictures work [emoji1360]

Good choice of car to work on your skills with, where abouts are you in the country? Plenty of people on here are happy to help out and offer advice

You also bought the fastest colour!

Hi mate, the plans are for it to be track car - I've stripped the interior now, just contemplating on whether to take all the plastics out.

That's what I'm trying to do mate. Getting the basics right first though. Chasing service history, servicing it and MOT and then tyres brakes and brake fluid. Might then look into getting a cage etc etc

So after being back in the garage with the lads working on my mates S3 (I use the phrase working loosely, I don’t do any manual work lol) - I got the bug.. I thought I’d order a few cheap bits off eBay like stickers etc to try and get my interest back.

I also got a tow strap from a recent trip to Oulton Park were 2 of my mates took theirs on.

Below are some pictures of the finished item.

Next, suspension, brakes, and most definitely tyres.
