Very clean inside but does have a problem with the engine. The cambelt snaped as it was trying to be started and it was only tryed once so Im hoping it will only be bent valves and no head damage, but we will see when I start to strip her.

What do you all think??

[Red_Dash]

Looks good :D

[katbloke]

what number is she looks like 306 or 8 dunno

[northy]

very nice - a good clean and polish will transform it.

[WilliamsLee]

Thanks guys Might get out and clean it today if it stays this nice :)

[WilliamsLee]

sorry forgot to say its number 0395 :D

[Warby]

yeah, good clean and I would imagine that should look nice, doesn't look rusty?

[WilliamsLee]

A few little spots of rust but nothing bad will see more tomorrow after the wash.

[2 live]

looks a tidy one mate. as northy says tho a good wash wont go amiss lol.

[northy]

does look very good - how much did you pay if u dont mind me asking.

A good wash, wipe over with autoglym, vac and interior shampoo would vastly improve the value of the car

[MatBrown]

A working engine wouldn't go a miss either. :P


Mat.

[WilliamsLee]

Lol hopfuly wont be long before she is working again.

Northy you wont belive how much I paid, just say that a family member was going to scrap it so I offered him the same as they did :wink: less than £100 :wink:

[Warby]

No way, less than £100, that has got to be one of the best deals going!! Well done for keeping it, don't need another good one going to scrap.

Can you post some pics once you've given it a clean?

[WilliamsLee]

I will see how the clean goes, dont finish work till 2, hopfully it wont get damp so i can polish and wax it.

[northy]

jesus £100 ?

that is a shame. No wonder there is less than half imported into the UK left

[ollie16v]

bargain! :shock:

[Wobba]

LOL under £100! That's like, two of the wheels in value. I don't care though, as long as it has been saved from the scrapyard, that's the main thing.

If I had the space I'd love a project like that.

[WilliamsLee]

Ok some clean pics and a few of the jobs that need doin on the body :)

And one of little willi and its bodyguard lol

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Leehgt/DSC00278.jpg

Not too bad I thought.

[1995clio16v]

Body in very good condition.

Just the usual places for the rust.

[katbloke]

spend 2k on the engine and top notch bodywork and you will have paid roughly what most of us would have paid normally

[northy]

looks like bird poo on the roof

Nice motor you have there....Most of the rust looks like it can be saved, try resist touching them arches though - that will turn into some right work if its through

[bradders]

its amazing what a bit of elbow grease can do, great buy, good luck with it!

[Daz.]

I'll give you £101.89 and a fresh packet of Jaffa cakes - what say you? :D

[WilliamsLee]

Hopfuly taking the head off tomorrow so fingers crossed.

Daz err NO lol
