I bought a parts car for my Clio 182 Track Project, but is it too good?

[@maverick4177]

I’d have turned the 2nd one into a track car, looks like it’s had a much easier life! The water getting in will undoubtedly be the rear boot seal or one of the rear lamp cluster seals leaking or a combination of both!

Hi Sam, I'm a brand new subscriber.. love the channel/content. I particularly enjoyed your Mini cooper S rebuild. I've just started a front end repair on a cat S cooper myself. Keep up the great content buddy 👍 👏 👌

[@SLRebuilt]

Hey thanks for the message. Really appreciate it. Good luck with your repair too 🙌🏽👍

[@rsdelectrical]

Friday night sorted catching up on all the 182 videos then I'll move onto the VXR. Forgot how good this channel was Sam. The only thing I don't like about it is up ends up costing me money as I've currently got gumtree, marketplace, ebay, autotrader and Copart open looking to find myself a new toy haha like you Im not a fan of french cars but have a real soft spot for these 182's

[@stephenstewart2118]

As interesting twist and I think you're right, it's too good for parts. Getting that wing off looked like fun though! 😄

[@1066gaz]

Good series sam, look forward to the next one.

[@ianrenkin2742]

Good on you Sam, sound plan - but why didn't you use the original as the parts car?

[@SLRebuilt]

Less miles, already part prepped for track and this new one has a dodgey gearbox/selector

[@SURGE101]

That was amazing how well you managed to clean the lights up. They looked good as new afterwards. Great video, I do really enjoy watching your channel. Seeing you transform these cars .

[@alanspate3563]

This guy does not transform anything Others do it for him.

[@SURGE101]

@@alanspate3563 he does do a lot of work himself but when it comes to cars , it’s impossible to do it all yourself. He also makes it possible for everyone to follow along with the videos. Making KZbin content not easy and you have to give him credit where it’s due. I enjoyed it anyway.

[@Lucasloliveira86]

Good work! Tracking from Brazil!

[@princew.k9310]

Good on you Sam... I've enjoyed this episode... looking forward to the next episode... feel like you need help 🤣🤣🤣 Nah you doing great ... can't wait for next week but if I was in Peterborough I'll defo give you a visit only coz I'm in a process of getting my first copart car as a novice 😱 .. You're a decent bloke and I'm learning lots from you bruv 👍🏾

[@SLRebuilt]

Thank you bro. Appreciate the positivity man 🙌🏽🤟🏼

[@tomjohntig]

I totally agree with the comments below use your car as the donor and use the £700 motor as your track car.

[@sugar-3-Danny]

Loving this channel. Thank god I Came across it 💪🏼🚗💨

[@SLRebuilt]

🙌🏽🙌🏽 thank you man

[@alanwaters1299]

Really enjoying the clio build

[@ctreviews56]

Another banger of a video mate, Keep them up!!

[@Chris-iw5pd]

I've always got to laugh when a KZbinr says they have done a lot of work today, changed a wing, wheel, exhaust hanger and polished headlights. 😂. That's 3 hours work at the most.

[@markscott4581]

Then editing, always preparing for the next peice of content

[@adambunting1895]

Where do you find a clio 182 for £700 at the minute? price on these has gone up and up!

[@Watchstudo]

Looking great!!

[@waynelittle5583]

I would use the second one as your track car and the other one as a donar car looks like its had an easier life and in better condition

[@stuartbiggs7545]

Looks better then the first one 🤣

[@16vKarlos]

Whichever car you decide to keep, DO NOT buy those exhaust mounts again. They’ll fail very quickly, and for the price difference, it’s well worth going to poly mounts for the exhaust 👍🏼 I’ve had everything off my previous 172 track car and even chopped wires out of the wiring loom etc. Do you want to do this up in stages or are you throwing money at it for its first outing?

[@stevenmoran4060]

That security light really needs sorting out not to come on in daylight.

[@SLRebuilt]

It’s on the list 😂

[@civhl9711]

That black mk4 I feel like I’ve seen it in Peterborough?

[@SLRebuilt]

100% it’s james (the painter) car

[@Jacob_Field]

Must just be me who prefers the silver wheels to the grey ones 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Doru_wolf]

Cheers ✌

[@TheJambo2014]

if it has the standard cat then sell it, sell for £800+. There are two bungs near the rear lights when you open the boot which let water in, just need to re seal them.

[@GillyGilb]

It’s the 172 cat that’s worth 700+. This is a 182 cat and looks genuine so will be worth around 350, just stick a decat on it and sell it 👍

[@TheJambo2014]

@@GillyGilb 182 cats still sell for £700 odd

[@GillyGilb]

@@TheJambo2014 I can assure you they do not. I literally have one I’m selling at the moment

[@GillyGilb]

@@TheJambo2014 172 cats are worth that money but 182 ones aren’t and never have been. They taken a little dip recently in value bit even a year ago they were worth max 450

[@mickpowers9667]

You shud keep that one as your track day car mate

[@lukecossey4005]

Nice! 👍🏻

[@danielkeal8795]

If you don't mind me asking where abouts are you from I'm in Boston Lincolnshire

[@alexdalgleish1061]

He's in Peterborough I believe.

Peterborough dude

[@darrendavies408]

Strip one of them take the engine an put it in a kangoo an do a kangoo sport conversion and record it 😁

[@alexdalgleish1061]

Maybe get both cars perfect and sell them instead?! Not many left.

[@josephhill6863]

Unfortunately there french.. so aka shite... The megane 225 and r26 are shit too

[@walthamwalker]

Think you've got those two cars ass about face Use no2 for the track

[@peterpan6156]

Would use a ozone machine against the smell

[@spijkerc]

Im from peterborough might be interested in buying this if you can pop me a message

[@dannygarwood1322]

I turn the one you bought for 700 quid into the track car and break the other one one

[@russhopkins724]

For Christ sake don’t sell that car with its CAT on it’s worth about £500 mate!

[@Rail.bike.campers]

Miles to high for my liking like. Take all parts off scrap it .

[@The_journeyy]

You know you've made it when your buying a parts car to fix your current project 😲

[@SLRebuilt]

😂😂😂

[@gregorrose8935]

Put your seatbelts on! 🤦‍♂️

[@alanspate3563]

This guy must work in a bank or an office somewhere as the car game just does not fit him at all . Not enough mechanical skill I'm afraid

[@SLRebuilt]

Correct. I have zero mechanical skills and am learning as I go. Go check out my other videos- hopefully you’ll be pleasantly surprised what a non-mechanic can do 👍

[@alanspate3563]

Am I also correct about a pen pusher?
