Welcome to Project 70!!
My names Tom.. rite well heres my story
- i bought a clio 16v about a year and a half ago, it was lush, lowered on the floor, 16's, de cat full system, induction, laguna splitter, absolutely mint the nicest around, loved it to pieces but i got road raged and some c*nt rammed me from behind bout 7 times. Even so there was not too much damage but i kinda lost interest. a few months later decided i loved it again, cleaned hrer up and she was just a beauty again, kept it for 2months but got offered very gd money and had a new insurace policy so i sold up. bought a e36 328 m-tech sport beamer, had it bout 6months but well its boring, its not the go kart i thrive.
- always loved the clio's so last week decided to buy a cheap one and start a project, got myself a white 1992 k plate. its got the usaul rust and dinks here and there but it has a lot of potential, it needs a new head gasket or an engine? was goin to change the engine but after doin Mavs today think i mite stick with the head gasket, its got a rough set of 16" compomotives, nice wheels just crap condition so theyve come of for the big refurb in white of course. ive got the 60mm lowerein kit of a clio i broke a little while back so it'll be lovin the speed bumps soon, gota do the paintwork, get rid of the yellow fogs, amd i mite go ahead and strip hrer out... not really sure wat to do with it at the mo, interior is stunning condition but i do want to put it on the track... i think, so let the project begin...
