Cleaned/Euro mk2 phase 1 172 rep (Something special for fcs!)

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Door popper and respray soon!)

I am mate :D Im just going to be getting resto bits just to finish it off! It needs a new rear bumper as it has a crack at the top and needs a drivers door card as the armrest part has worn! When i get it out of the garage ill take more pics. The engine is the cross flow engine but it is silent there is no tapping atal! :D amazing really as its 22 years old!

Re: Cleaned/Euro mk2 phase 1 (Doors fully smoothed and new daily drive!)

I have but i can see me changing my mind. Its not going to be sprayed untill middle of next year as i have a hell of alot of work to do before, which is going to be very costly. Even after the respray and body work im looking at £3,000 plus to get it on the road with the other mods excluding interior. So its going to be a good year for progress but not finance wise :( lol!

Might aswell drop a 2.0 in if it's going to be off the road for that long ;)

Wish i could mate. When i was younger i took a loan out then i had an accident and also lost my job. needless to say it got alittle messy :(

So im having to do it the hard way and save every penny each month. It is going to take longer but atleast i wont be in debt. This way i can choose each month wether or not to spend money on it as appose to paying monthly repayments.

Carnt wait thou till after fcs! :D

Re: Cleaned/Euro mk2 phase 1 (Doors fully smoothed and new daily drive!)

good project !

looking great and the colour looks the dogs.

I had tvr style buttons and solenoids fitted to my old clio - you might want to see if you can get some water proofing in there - mine eventually failed due to rust and then i seemed to constantly have to replace them with plasticy ones from maplin.

ive not read the whole thread - but do you have a wire coming from the battery? just in case your battery is flat - otherwise you wont get in. i never got round to this either lol but did need to use something similar by removing the button and attaching a battery.

cant wait to see it painted - i do like seeing cars in primer though something about them!

Re: Cleaned/Euro mk2 phase 1 (Doors fully smoothed and new daily drive!)

Personally i dont think the ronals suit it, especially when its all done and finished. I'd look into getting something wider that will compliment it better

Re: Cleaned/Euro mk2 phase 1 (Doors fully smoothed and new daily drive!)

yes wide track buddies :D

lol, will be after fcs mate ;)

Cool as f**k.
What colors it gonna be?

secret until fcs! :rasp:

Thanks :D my switch is water proof externally but internally not but the mirror keeps all the crap out anyway. I did have the tvr switch but that failed due to not carring enough amps. It just blew it so i had to get a 20a rated one. I also had to uprate my battery to a larger 670cca battery to help store the power for the solenoid. I know what you mean about cars in primer there mysterious :D

Once ive got the wide track mate ill see if it helps space the gap. If it dosen't 8j+ wheels will be on the cards.
