New car

Postby jb644 » Wed Dec 29, 2010 2:06 pm

Picked up my new car today. It needs some paint work, particularly the front end. Mainly due to stone chips etc.

Mechanically it seems fine, but time will tell as it has been stood for some time. The last owner has spent a fair amount of money getting it roadworthy.
New disc's/pads and tyres all round and the wheels have been refurbished.

It needs a few jobs doing on it(one of the headlights stopped popping up on the way home), but with some tlc it will make a nice car.

Thanks to MVS for the lead on the car.

Well done bud for getting another 610 and for not bending this one Yet :lol: , is this the one which was up north at a renault specialist? It looks a good car in a good colour, if Big MVS reccomended it then it should be a good un. Start a write up with pic's on improvements and mod's in the project section !! Good work and good luck!

Jason, a truley welcome to the Alpine fold.
Good luck, i'm sure you will turn it into a very tidy car.
As for Macon, bring both cars.

It's usually the plug from the module to the light, get one of those model cars wire brushes thin long one and clean the contacts. :wink:
