So I have had a Mk1 180 hatch for a while now and recently decided I wanted a Mk2 180 saloon.
Yesterday I went to have a look at one and although it has a few niggles I picked it up for £1200.
So here begins the progress thread
(And the pics).
Drivers bolster hardly any wear!
It has a spare key which has never been used!
Has had a new windscreen fitted as the old one had a stone chip/crack in it.
all new rubbers and trim around it and it even has a tinted sunstrip.
The bad bits:
74k miles but no belts done. (Will be done when I've saved a little.)
Only has lip spoiler but atm can't decide on which I like more, that or the Extreme.
Silly badges on it
:
Only got it on the one side!
Why with the clio v6 badges?
Crappy brakelight sticker makes me not want to use my brakes!
Bodged attempt at a replacement badge.
Apparently in the MGOC.
Both headlights are misted up:
Boot lid isn't flush on the passenger side:
Saggy Bum:
It has a hatchback exhaust on a saloon so it is about two inches short of the bumper.
Got a few stone chips on the leading edges of the kit.
What I thought was a silly induction kit but it is enclosed and has a cold air feed. It has just been bodged onto the TB though. (Will swap the ITG from the old ZS to this one.
The mirror adjuster switch is really loose.
The roof has peeling laquer.
To do list:
Belts, water pump, thermostat.
