Hi guys.
Pretty new on here but seen a lot of interesting posts and thought if share mine! 8)
Okay, so it's one of my dream cars, a 1994 Clio 16v. When I was younger my brother had an RT and that's when I started becoming a fan of the mk1s. But as I got older, realising that there were more than just 1.4s etc, I saw "valvers" and williams clios, and my heart was set...
So after waiting a long long time, I finally acquired one in 2010. It is a 1994 M reg finished in Naples red, it was near enough standard, except from a chipped ecu, magnex exhaust and lowered on spax.
Here's some photos of when I bought her
She was fairly clean, I was more than happy with her anyway!
Sadly about 6 months after owning her she got vandalised, the windscreen got smashed and she got keyed :cry:
Only photo of the damage
And just prior to the vandalism to my baby I got diagnosed with bipolar depression, I lost all motivation and the car was forgotten about for 2 year
but I started getting a little better in myself, got a new house with a garage so decided to finally start what I'd always wanted to do, restore her! Obviously after been stood for so long there would be a few issues, rust been the biggest!
Here she is before I put her in the garage
Within a few hours she looked like this
Here's some pics of all the rust
I do have a load more photos, but will have to post them on another time as they're on my computer and I'm using my phone. I do have a few other threads about if you want to look at those. There's one on ClioSport . Net, search NaplesMark16v
Will bring it up to date properly tomorrow
Cheers for reading.
