[imprezaworks]

Nice

 

[Rich..]

1st job - rip that spoiler off?

 

[Paul Mitch 1986]

Nice in it always had a soft spot for them. Needs light restoration though buddy so far from perfect. Floor pans are shot so might take it our fred Flintstone style haha

 

[imprezaworks]

If you got it for sensible money, there will be money to be made when the time comes?

 

[Paul Mitch 1986]

[Paul Mitch 1986]

[New2RS]

:tearsofjoy:Rightly so, it's a real butchery job that one.

 

[mossyv6]

Returning it to Oem? With a bit of lows - please

 

[Paul Mitch 1986]

Not sure yet mate need to see what road to go down. I know the wheels with be getting changed at some point. Still got my Rb cup so ideally would like to keep both an do the gt turbo up at a steady pace or sell the rb to speed up the gt turbo don't really know at this moment in time mate.

Your biggest issue will be sourcing original parts and when you do find them be prepared for the price 😧

I was lucky I sourced all my parts 3 to 4 years ago before these cars became such a retro icon.

 

[Paul Mitch 1986]

Can't wait mate I want the interior standard I know that. not sure about the spoiler yet il make my mind up once I see it.

 

[Ant1]

Won't be cheap mate but well worth it! Good luck

A standard brand new parcel shelf went for £600 on eBay not long ago. And an original gear knob £250.

That tells you how expensive these are to restore!

I was offered £750 for my new leather phase 1 gear knob. Nutters

 

[imprezaworks]

Wow

 

[Ant1]

Wow

New phase 2 knobs pop up on eBay now for around £450.

I haven't seen a new phase 1 knob advertised, well ever.

Keep it true to the era. Fibreglass everything big bumpers, bigger spoiler, ear shattering dump valve. It will come back around eventually just like flares.

 

[Paul Mitch 1986]

First quick going over

 

[Paul Mitch 1986]

Spoiler definitely needs to be bigger

 

[mossyv6]

Don't mean to be rude mate but the first thing I would do is put the standard spoiler back on.

 

[Sidders]

That spoiler is for winners keep it

 

[DannyJ172]

Would keep it and love it just how it is . Spoiler looks boss to me mate very 90's . Going to turn heads no mater what as it a 5.

 

[Paul Mitch 1986]

The spoilers staying each to there own can't satisfy everyone tastes

 

[Paul Mitch 1986]

I'm putting a full years m.o.t on my Clio an going to have to sell it to release funds to do the gt5 unfortunately

 

[New2RS]

Looks tidy in the photos mate. Looking forward to the progress.
Are you attaching thumbnails instead of full images in your post? Or is it just the device you've using making the images small??

 

[Paul Mitch 1986]

Will be putting up on here in a few week

 

[Paul Mitch 1986]

Soon to be for sale

Might be my phone mate.
Shame to give up the Clio but it never had a big enough spoiler anyway 😂
Hope you shift it soon to crack on with the 5.

The guy undervalued it I reckon. His heart wasn't in it so wanted shut

 

[imprezaworks]
