How did I end up with another 182?

[robbie1988]

Some how I seem to have acquired another 182 - it is a 2005 (55 plate) 182 FF in Titanium. It was missing the splitter and lower grill due to a pheasant incident with the last owner - that was sorted in my first 5 minutes of ownership haha.

It needs work but couldn't turn it down - been using it today and drives fairly well. Few mechanical bits to sort - track rod ends, passenger driveshaft, exhaust hangers.

Body wise - it needs a thorough clean, there is a dent on the drivers door and the front and rear bumpers have some scratches down to the black.

Little bits already done are:

- Scorpion catback exhaust
- Front drilled and grooved discs
- Rear drilled and grooved discs

Anyway after sorting out the front here are some snaps:

Will start a project thread in next few minutes to track what is happening with it

I'm not sure how I keep ending up with more Clio's.

Cost much?

Plans for it?

I invested in one of those jacks recently, makes life so much easier when working on the car!

Car looks a fairly sound base to build upon!

Cheers for the comments - already had a front grill sorted and a splitter so they are already done.

Just going to make a start on the car today and see how well it comes up.

I don't really know if its a keeper yet - my brother did show some interest in it but for the money I paid it was worth saving haha

Looks good! Hope you get it clean and it serves you well. If you do keep it will you run both, or sell the inferno?

The inferno is a keeper - once its finished I will decide as cant make up my mind at present
