renault 9 diesel

[mike wilson]

well i left for telford monday morn 4am got down about 10 in the old trusty escort van lol , car in good nick , no holes, only needs the bonnet and door painted( but will do whole car) 57000 miles with 2 owners , very good engine and pulls better than i thought ,needs a clutch soon, drove it 330 miles home put in for mot and it passed ,

handles like a burst couch and the interior is crap , original stereo , only got traded in as it didnt have power steering for the old women .

so whats now for it BREAKING FOR SPARES lol only joking

first thing is to lower it, change rear beam for turbo p2 one , and put a complete turbo interior in it, including dash/wiring and bbs renault alloys

then respray next week , prob the same colour but was thinking off met green, pearl orange and pearl black in some sort off variation lol

Get us some pictures up, and of the engine.
What is it 1.6 diesel (F8M)?

I still want to put a F8Q in .. or 2lt rocket in a 9 one day.
There is still quite a lot of 9's in my part of the world but they never came in a diesel or turbo here.
