130i Road, 172 Track
Been a bit busy over summer but progress has continued on my/dad's 172 track car (quaife, seats & half-cage going in). I gave my 182 a good detail while on hols in Jan and got it nice and clean. And Dad has been enjoying his R26, as you would expect 
But in December, an opportunity came up to purchase a very unique car. An English fella had brought out his phI V6 late last year when he moved to Aus, and it was on the market. At the same time there was a blue phII V6 for sale in Melbourne, but the asking price was a bit high.
So the only two RSC V6s in Australia were both for sale. The phI in Sydney sat on the market for about 2 months and the price slowly dropped. We had seen it at an ozrenaultsport meet and knew it was in good nick, and just before Xmas, we put it an offer, which was accepted
Excellent - so we are now officially a 4 Renaultsport / 3 RS Clio family! Not bad for a bunch of Aussies, eh?
The Vee will be staying stock (as it's so rare) except to match the silver 172, we installed a set of Anthracite stripes, and plan on painting the wheels to match. Stayed tuned for that update.
Here are a few pics taken last week after the stripes were installed!
