Bit of a clean up

[MartinR]

After recently pulling the 182 apart due to a few niggles and replacing alot of parts-:

Gearbox rebuild
new shafts
clutch
coolant cts
thermostat
oil + filter
brakes changed back to standard
fluid change
topmounts
wishbones
all shocks
4 x yokohama s drives
few other little bits.

Thought it was about time i got a few pictures with my pants camera skills.

Car has been polished with Tripple then sealed with Tough coat and layered with illusion.

Just got to sort out a fresh set of plates, paint the rear calipers black as i no longer have the brembos up front and a few bits here and there. hopefully be where i want it by autumn

Sorry mart was brought up not to lie lol

 

[Loz H]

Looks ace

 

[Darius]

Looks wicked

Can I suggest some of these for the wheel centres? I used them on mine and they came out alright imo. Think they would look good on yours too

Tidy, always wondered - what made you go back to standard brakes?

 

[George182]

Couldn't stand the squealing iirc

Correct he couldn't get them to stop squealing, Dave was the same too.

 

[cs_dave]

Tbh they where worth the noise imo

 

[MartinR]

Thanks for all the comments chaps.

Darius reason i wrapped mine was to rid of the OZ racing in the centre and got some stickers made to go on the wheel instead. One of a kind as oz don't do stickers for where mine are. Thankyou for the suggestion though.

Reasons i removed brakes was one the bloody squeeling got way to much to the point you try and drive without pressing them lol.

Plus had an unexpected parts bill of near on £1200 so something had to go to help fund it. Thhank god i never had labour costs other than gearbox rebuild from agency. Otherwise it would be on bricks now lol.

Is the front grill painted? Looks tidy in photo. In two minds to paint mine. And same here on bill. Iv just done full suspension refresh and gearbox and would hate to think how much for labour.

Think it looks lovely. Really like the wheels too.

Only thing I would change is the yellow fogs. Would look much cleaner with normal glass in my opinion

Cheers Newb, yes dread to think how much labour would have been..
