Yeah it'll be worth a go. It just seems slow compared to my phase 1 and my old phase 2! Serviced it etc and everything is where it needs to be etc just seems slow(ish) to me
evening all, as per the title, has anyone pulled checked or replaced their injectors and had any Benifit from doing it? I can get a brand new set of oe injectors for £65 delivered!
Depends on what people want mate, we've had ferrari's in for smart repairs, people have rust and done wheels, silly things but when people want it we produce some amazing paint...
Or when people don't want to spend any money and ask for smart repairs.....
£575,000 car I add...
I found a damp floor in my phase 2 today, I was underneath polybushing the doggy bone and the flap that's at the bottom of the drainage tube was stuck shut! Opened it up, got covered in horrid brown water as a whole heap came out!
That's my plan mate, when summer lands I can pull the engine sort that all out at home, take the shell to work paint the shell then slowly put it back together (hopefully sorting some wiring gremlins along the way)
Spot on mate! On auto trader for £650. He was a really nice guy that owned it, I just don't really think he knew what he was selling! It's still got its original alloy bonnet, all it's books, original key card and radio code etc
That's what I'm hoping! Sadly I'm on the V5 now but not much I could do about that! Fingers crossed it'll be a little gem one day and they may start to be worth some money!
We use a product called SMC. It's made by a company called UPOL it's amazing stuff! Goes rock solid, can be blocked with ease and takes filler really nicely
I'm lucky like that dude, I run a body shop so soon enough it'll be gutted to a shell and done again! I believe it's solid, had a good poke around today (hence finding my stainless exhaust) and it all seems really solid!
I'm going to get on with it this week, for now it'll just get a nice buff and wax! Come summer I'll strip it down and paint it! Want to get inside clean and start making it mine! Interior needs slipping out for a good clean!
To be fair the paint on the roof and bonnet isn't great, bird poo left...
Thanks mate, I'm pleased with the colour and the car as a rule. When I got home I jumped straight into the phase 2 as a comparison and I couldn't believe the difference in the two cars!
I'll have a good search on the forum, I know I had Pirelli p zero's on my last one and they were really good!
So I've got the 172 bug again and I found myself the owner of a genuinely great little car. It's a one owner car, low miles, and heaps of history and it's just had 12 months mot put on it! And it was an absolute bargain!
This is the car when I got it home yesterday....
It's not without its...
