New car, 1st clio!

[xxx]

After my xr got stolen and set on fire i decided to buy a clio and found this little beast on the cheap.

I havnt got any pics of when i first bought it but it was in abit of a state, the front arches were rusty, snapped spring, knackered dampers, wheel bearing and was in need of a good old clean.

Despite the rust, shabb panels, andy repairs needed the car had just had a new cambelt, water pump, brakes, battery, tyres and it's only done 86k with loads of receipts!! The car is a 1997 1.4 s and cost me a healthy £150

Since buying it a month ago i have fitted williams bonnnet, headlights, wings, bumper and valver wheels. Also got new shocks, bearing, drop links, ball joints and 55mm lowering springs and have lowered the torsion bar lol.

The pic's show the front wheel fitted but its just placed under the arch as there are no shocks on the front, hence the wheel underneath. The front bumper is getting resprayed and i'm doing the wheels matt black, thats all for now

Pics after being PC'd today by type_rdriver:evil:

Cheers Matty.
