Mk1 Clio 1.8 16v

Hi Everyone..

This is my latest purchase.. bit of an odd one for myself as I'm not traditionally into French cars..

However a chance purchase of a Megane 225 made me enjoy the fwd unreliable life.. My 225 now is being retired from car meet and b-road duty and used more exclusively for its Track day/Ring uses.. I'm taking it into the world of hillclimb and sprint next year so wanted something for cars and coffee and b-road thrash duties. Token ring shot below..

Anywhooo enough Megane chat.. here's the topic of this thread..

I have a day Job but as a side I do bits of resto work and track prep. I'd had this in for some minor works and my mate who owned it had lost interest (he's got about 6 rebuilds on the go, I've done two of them). So I made him an offer and its now mine. Plans are to swap the wheels, fit some suspension, Complete the paint its had both sides arches done. But then, I always get carried away..

Excellent!
Yeah, sell the Team Dynamics and get some OE Vega's on it.. or a set of willy wheels in silver. It'll look ace!

I wish I still had some spare parts left over from mine. They'd be worth a mint now!

Dynamics will be getting stuck in storage I’ve got some compomotives to go on. They need doing gold first as I love the gold against the blue.

This is how its spent much of its life at the moment... Pushed it into my unit to get on with some jobs, its got to get worse before it gets better. Gave it a service and fixed a myriad of oil leaks ? Dash to put back together at the weekend after removing 3 aftermarket immobilisers and alarms.

Whilst underneath noticed the subframe conditions is bad, so whilst I've got it off the road acquired a good condition one. Ill drop that off when I drop off a fiesta shell I've got in. Please note this isn't my full time job so my proper job will slow progress but also help it financially.

Kind of made some progress, bought a donor car this poor things going to donate some bits if anyone needs some bits give me a shout. And took my clean subframe to the blasters/coaters.
