Shes a 1.4 8v RT 80Bhp.
Ive been wanting an Original Mk1 Clio for awhile now, all she needed was a little TLC, Check her out.
Woke up the morning after i bought her and give her a quick wash.
First thing first, She needed lowered, So called upon the help of hammy and his laptop, Google'd how to lower a torsion bar, And 20 mins later she was lowered!
Hammy breakin Wheel nuts.
Hammy measuring 3 clicks.
Me refurbing the alloys, lol.
Hammy fitting the new front springs, And Dee helping (lol).
Big dee helping agian.
Hammys place of work, lol.
Wire brushed and sprayed the drums while i was there, Primed then a good top coat.
Hammy lowered it 3 clicks at the back, And 60mil springs in the front.
Job done, All in around an hour, Then he took her up for road for a wash at the garage.
Results.
Took her for a quick photo shoot after she dried out.
Gave the front end a quick polish today as it was dull.
Turned out well.
Plans are to get a de-cet and a middle section with no silencer, Then maybe an ashley back box.
After that maybe think of getting a different set of wheels, Although im starting to like the mk1 Champs on her.
Comments welcome.

Plans are to get a de-cet and a middle section with no silencer, Then maybe an ashley back box.
After that maybe think of getting a different set of wheels, Although im starting to like the mk1 Champs on her.
Comments welcome.
