This is very good indeed! I like the coil over/ rack and pinion idea, it would be a fantastic car if it had some decent handling! Plans for paint and interior?

Yeh from what i've heard the stock steering is atrocious, found a really good deal on the suspension and steering parts too.
Paint, i'm torn between blue or black, blue being a factory colour and black never offered on the c3.
Interior still not sure, i've bought a new black carpet set, potentially Corbeu bucket seats, black leather trim with red stitching over the dash and all the tacky plastic

Car was around £7500, shes rough but rock solid with absolutely no rust whatsoever. Shipping £2500, I spent another 4 or 5k on parts which are hopefully being shipped inside it.Wheels cost me around £1500 all in but I won't know for sure till they arrive and I'm hit with the customs bill.
Initial budget was 20, I don't see it happening for that since a good paintjob will be 4/5k, the entire interior needs to be replaced and i'm very tempted by a decent coilover suspension kit and rack and pinion steering conversion. This is also my first (drivable) car since passing my test 5 years ago
