Cheap clio for breaking

[FarmerPug]

I got myself this old motor today, a friend had it sitting outside his house for the past 8 months and just wanted rid of it:







Ive already started to dissemble the dash (and have managed to detonate and video the airbag ) its rough looking, the alternator is seized solid so only works if a good battery is plonked in, the inside stinks unbelievably bad, there is over 160,000 miles, and a dent or gash on nearly every panel. But not bad for a free car.

Here is the airbag going off:

Free car? its a REALLY good bargain
There is some work on it,but if you invest some money,you can get a lot of it after selling.

FP you nutter! that was funny setting off the AB, all from the cover of "The Shed"

Funny seeing TWO Magic Trees in the car..........I think they're fighting a losing battle

That's a lot of miles on a little car (petrol?)

Setting off the airbag, its one of them things you just always wanted to do
The smell inside its very damp but with old food thrown in, the magic trees surrendered last year and now have adopted the smell of the car.
160k miles on a petrol 1.2 8v clio is a massive amount if it was a 406 its just mature but on a clio its clapped out cold done expired.

Sill nothing gumtree couldn't sell

One of those "I never got round to fixing but it won't take you long" sort of cars

Quick, run, hide in the shed she's ganna blow... That was brilliant fair play reminded me of an old film where they used to blast holes in mountains to run a train line through it.

Fp your mad mate

ive read a simalar thread on the RF idont think theyve much of a sense of humour on there,

[sirwiggum]

Yep theyd try and sell it on gumtree with a new timing belt, service history etc. but handily no reciepts or any other proof handy.

Some force come off the airbag!

[lozz]

id just slash the seats get the hose pipe in there
fill tank with water, and fire it straight on the scales

Its seen its days me thinks,

perhaps theres a few parts worth keeping, ign barrel, ecu and locks
they wouid get another car running so might be worth a few quid

[FarmerPug]

Im keeping any parts that might be of use on mums clio, headlights, motors etc, although the drivers leccy window is broke and the rear wiper isn't going either not much good about this car. I have stripped out the interior and power hosed the seats, it should be a few weeks fun round the fields especially as the ground is so dry at the moment, whats even better is the handbrake still works

Ha ha they have noticed the old clio. I ripped out the interior completely today bar the dash, the seats cleaned up ok and this revealed a load of cigarette holes, the carpet and headlining are for the fire. And the alternator i got it out, set it in a bucket of red diesel for a few hours then got it spinning with the impact wrench just need to get a belt and see if it will charge.
