Thats the one, looked so good!
i have bought a few new parts such as abs rings for rear
headunit,wiperblades and cleaning gear to make the bodywork look spot on.
me & a fellow member of here sideways danny
found a problem with the head.
the cams where scored(quite badily causing a leak through the cam seals)
it looks likes the head has been starved from oil at one point hense the scoring.
so new engine time
danny will be able to say more on the engine.
hense the searching of a new 172 engine.
bit of a s**tter really as i dont have alot of money at the moment.
but the wheels have been refurbed now(fronts in white)
front badge been sprayed in black.
im not selling any parts of it yet as it makes the car what it is.
but me and my girlfriend have a possibilty of moving to spain in june/sept.
so im going to get a engine replace it ,getting it running spot on.
so if i have to sell up for when i go to spain then i at least know the engine is fine for the new owner

I saw this at ace cafe over the winter months, Spoke with the original owner which I assume was previous to you? at the time he said the engine was far from healthy, New engine will hopefully bring it back to good order
did it have a private plate on when you seen it?
well previous owner to myself seemed to think the engine was healthy and looked to be a good runner at the time.
just hoping the engine ive bought isnt a shed either
its only got 50k on it so touchwood eh.
ill update this thread with pictures/spec/plans tomorrow

You're not kidding!!!! i though i was going to melt, good work on the regular cold water top ups
. Passing jailbait from the college made it worthwhile though Definitely looked better on the turbines, looks like any other clio now. get them changed back
car looks superb, and i really like the roof.
I think ride height looks just right.
I don't dislike black wheels, but I think you lose some of the definition of the wheel, maybe that's just me.
I see the cars d-locked, maybe a stupid question, but do you have a way of getting in if key fob decides not to work, and how do you open the boot
