fort i would stick my up on here only had it a mouth got it for £300 was a rush buy as i needed a car for work (crashed my clio it to a lamp post bad times)
it as had soon work done to it before i got it new clutch in june headgasket done in feb, bin lowered, black alloys
only thing wrong with it was there was a noise on it as i only found out the day after i got it home which sounded like it was coming from the drivers front so i got it up on the jack to see what was up bottom ball joint had gone and what i fort the noise was, was the cv joint so i got them and changed them both, but the noise was still there, then i was driving home last week and me back brakes locked up on one side, so i jacked it up and me wheel just fell off with me drum , me back bearing was in bits. and me pin that keeps me brake shoes in place had gone aswell as the clip but the spring was fine, so i messaged the lad i got it off and he said he had just done that back bearing a few weeks ago. ye he had done but he had done was put the nut on with a air gun
so the washer was rubbing against the the hub and bearing and that was the noise to that is sorted now,
only other things i have done with it is new light bulbs and few stickers and give it a clean,
now time to get a few things on it now going to start with
respraying the alloys (who ever did them before as done a bad good)
spraying the bonnet black (someone as sprayed it before blue and done a bad good again)
new exhaust
got a new front gill coming for it
and a few more jobs end and there
