HOU - Rust in peace

WHAT!!!!!!!
That's why i'll never sell the dog kennel, I couldn't bear someone ruining it, crashing it, or breaking it for parts, even though i've fell out with my car atm and can't wait until i've saved enough for a decent new daily, the Clio will remain with me and worked on as a project track car.
Not saying breaking HOU was a bad idea or anything because it was obviously beyond saving.

Agree on the selling side ^
But disagree on the beyond saving... This is nothing in the scheme of things

I thought i saw it in Tesco at one point and thought naahhhhh it can't be. Can't believe it was down this way
Yeah but when new owners have no emotional attachment to the car it just becomes a collection of parts worth a certain amount of money, rather than a potential money pit that at the end will still be worth the same amount in parts.
If I bought another Clio with half the problems mine has i'd still pull it apart and bolt all the working bits onto my car even though mine's in worse condition, when in reality I should scrap mine and bolt all of my mods onto the new one, the new car may mean something to the previous owner, but to me it would just be a load of spares I can use on mine.

Pretty sure someone in Gaydon had it.
Yeah I get that. Happens with many many cars and I would probably also do the same, but I mean't it was far from not being able to be saved. After all, soon all Clio's will suffer with rust.
The best option would of been for a previous owner to save it tbh but worse things happen lol
Lets blame McGerkin, it all went wrong after he sold it.
My bad.
You ruined CS.

I agree with you @DaveDreads with the attachment stuff. People think I'm mad for pouring money into mine, when realistically it's a piece of French scrap. It's my car and won't be sold...I'll pass it on to my grand children to burden their lives with lol. Or put back to OEM if they go up in value.
Although I refuse to use the "R" word (rust) near mine as if I don't think about it it's not there...right??

Yep, i've not found any on mine, which means it doesn't have any. (in my mind)

@nath&alex ya bad b*****d - post a pic! Lol
You say track car like that's a bad thing?? I will proudly bring it back to its former glory just quite a bit lighter. 2017 is the year that I hope it'll be finished!! I won't talk of my full plans so not to upset previous owners!!!

Really? f**k sake 😞
I have a spare rear beam and cup wishbones that have had the PMS bearing kits welded in. Just need to get my subframe seam welded and then lots of bits are off for powder coating
I will then fit my rear disc kit that I did for my and @NorthloopCup cars (when he had a mk2 :tongueclosed and install the roll centre hubs the real genuine ones from @NorthloopCup :up:Yep!
I saw her about 6 months ago - It's got a bloody cage and all sorts in it now. I mean FFS, if you want a track car - Buy a shed!
My thoughts with HOU. All the effort of fitting a ph2 interior to have it all ripped out.

Lots of Scrap...
they Odyssey included ;-)
I don't think anyone can blame you for it landing in your lap in an unsavable state, I wouldn't worry too much fella.
It's just that it's like putting your trusty golden retriever down, y'know, the one you grew up with.
Yeah it's not your fault Akay, it was beyond saving because of previous owners mistreating it, if it's anyone's fault it's McGherkin's for essentially taking the clubs trusted Golden Retriever to the rescue centre and letting any old f*ker take it, you ruined CS Callum!
Had to make way for my St. Bernard. I did offer it around at the time.
How much did you sell it for?
£500. Fecking thing started misfiring when matey came down to see it.

Whichever has fuel
f**k off!! Did you???
Yeah, I needed it gone and I felt sorry for the bloke as he'd travelled the length of the country to find that it was running on 3 cylinders. I'd have sold it for rather more otherwise. It'd been up for a while with very little interest too.
WTAF!!! We could have had a whip round and raised that within a day.
