Hi all
Finally decided what to do and im selling the Clio, only bought it last year in September and had a few days of fun in it (put less then 1500 miles on it). However when getting it ready for use again in early April i found a lot of rust on the rear chassis / rear panel and crappy repairs in other areas and im disheartened to the point ive lost all interest in it.
I bought the car after seeing the for sale add on here and the "restoration" thread here http://williamsclio.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?43533-Help!!-MOT-Flop-Welding-Required!
Sadly its not that good :(
Anyway to the car
N808 HGP Williams 3
98,400 miles
Original Bookpack
Lots of old MOT's
Stainless steel supersprint manifold fitted with a magnex exhaust system.
it runs and drives spot on, just the shell and previous cosmetic work lets it down
previous owner fitted this lot not long before i bought it
4 new Toyo Proxes tyres (still as new)
Rear Brake discs, pads and integral wheel bearings replaced
Front discs and pads replaced
New OEM front shocks/springs/top mounts and bearings
