Heres the situation,
Mate had a mk1 clio 16v, way before i even started to learn to drive, i loved it, sounded awsome was nice and fast, i wanted one simple as.
So about a year later i passed my test had about 6 months driving under my belt (in a 4 litre jeep wrangler, fun fun :P ).
I went searching for my first one i had about £700, so i knew i wasnt going to get a great one.
Found one on ebay, went and viewed it and hastily bought it alongside a plethora of problems.
Now this was back in december, ive spent quite a lot of time getting it good, there was a whole list of problems ive worked through to get it right.
However, everytime i go to her in the morning and look at it i think "is it worth it", now coming up its going to need cambelt alternaotr belt, water pump which will be £350 or so. It rattles a bit and has an annoying squeek, but it puts a smile on my face everytime i boot it, and the engine is sweet as a nut.
Then while trying to repsray the sunroof aluminium bit managed to get a duting of paint on the roof and part of the door, and would love a respray, but again i ask is it worth it?
What do you think?
