So it seems the clios fucked


So ive did a bit on the imp -- stripped the lights and fuel tank ect

I cut the front grill/matrix out


This however spoilt my day again...
Soooo found some rot

Then exposed some uber thick bodge



Hmmmm then this
Ok chassis leg

Fucked one


So that means it needs a new front panel and chassis leg... Already knew the wings were fucked so going to try and get a 1 piece fibre glass front and semi space frame it up

Not a defender no...

Renault sport clio 200

Its actually a 60 plate but it comes with the private one.. 46k miles, full Renault history, recaros, cruise control, climate ect

Years tax, mot and warranty

Very tidy bar a stone chipped bumper.. Ill probably have that painted a different shade of red.. And maybe drill the airbox and fit some h and r springs..

Gave £7.5k and the broken dci.. Chuffed - it handles sooo well, flat as a fart though if you arent bouncing it off the limiter.







(Just copied from GC to keep thread updated) dci is dead

Recaro CS seats look the nuts. The rear end is bland as fuck tho and really looks like its been forgotten about by the designer lol. Needs a spoiler of some kind to toughen it up.

Think the rear seats are just standard across the range?
