Waiting for your thoughts about the car, what do you think should be done to improve it and anything else you want to say.

Thanks for what you say. Didn't mention that it's not very clean. There are some small rusty parts, but easy to fix. You can't notice if you don't know where they are.
And something else: a friend found a Getrag gearbox from an M3. Does it fit to my engine?

did you adapt something on the rear fenders? I'm asking this because i've also a set of borbets 9J for the back and i don't want them to touch the inside everytime :D (like they do now on the clio :p)

cheers!

@ cliffybabe
The seats??????????
I want to throw them away immediately! I've found a set of Recaros and I think I'll buy them!

@ Lennerd320i
I have only rolled the fenders, but it rubs sometimes. I think my rear springs are a bit soft.

okay tnx for the information!

and talking about the seats... it seems that you've added some covers to hide the damage, isn't it? :)

i'm wondering what the future will do to your car :D

yes. The previous owner had a dog..... You can't imagine how the seats look under the covers!!!!!!!!!!!
The Recaros are from an Opel Ascona '79 (beautiful buckets). Does anyone know if they are easy to fit?
