Or for sale @£###

get it and put a clio 1.8 16v in, you will love it guaranteed!

edit: or a 1.7 turbo from a volvo 480 , someone called huskyracer on here got about 250bhp if I remember correctly?

Yeh my white one is for sale if your interested?
Welcome to the forum btw.
Adam

I'm really glad I didn't see that Dorchester car for 50notes... I'd be getting shouted at atm

Thanks for all the welcomes and advice.

I do really like your car Adam, however i want to make the modifications myself. What are my chances of finding a white one in good condition?

Depends how long youre prepared to hunt.
Theyre not exactly common.. But not as rare as a 3door GLT.
mrsoundcraft has one for sale/swap.
Because he feels its too good to strip for the track. some slight pannel damage though. And its a many door.
Adam had to do a fair bit of welding on his, even after he found it.
Keep your eyes peeled man.
Pistonheads, ebay, autotrader, gumtree, carandclassic, voc have all come up trumps in the past.

^^^^ and its pre-lowered.
I know you want to do the work yourself, but youd only have done that anyway!

Ye cheers guys, definitely interested in the car. I dont mind welding repairs, and not the end of the world if already lowered.

Dont think one has been mentioned as far as i recall.
Sure he'll get back to you quick enough though.
tip: the pm will show in your OUTBOX untill it has been read by recipient, then will show in SENT ITEMS.
Seems to be a point of confusion for newbies sometimes.
