Project Phoenix

[Shanukes]

Car: Renault Megane Coupe 2.0 16v F7R

History: This car was manufactured in 1999 and with one previous owner and i bought it in 2005 with 55k on the clock as a standard Monaco Blue Coupe from Newport South Wales for a total of £2600. Since then its gone through many changes as i will explain in the next few posts. The car is always covered / garaged and engine is on 69k at current! I hope you enjoy my project log and welcome to all opinions, good and bad
