This is Matt Bishop, think @partybish is his user....This was the irish reg one that he managed to get it swapped back onto its original plate :cool::D
Couldn't resist sticking these on this morning. Sill protection stickers. I got x1 set made for my own car with the Renault Sport colours on in keeping with the ph1 theme, Thanks to my mate Scott for sorting these!
Still have some oem ones in stock if anyones after a set.
Got a shift on it this weekend...interior is fairly getting on...And got to sit in the car for the first time since 2015 I think!?Will mix opinion i'm sure 👀
Have fitted ph2 grey carpets and Trendlines. Will likely get the doorcards trimmed in black alcantara to match the seats. Unsure if i'll...
Trying to get things as damn near on as possible 🤣 rear window stickers must have been chucked on by a random person at the time as none of the 5 i checked were the same. So stuck it in a similar place as best it would look.
New fogs fitted in coated surrounds also, the small details really do...
Few more updates, Getting time is always the hardest part! Replacement subframe/beam fitted. Power steering pipes on, new PS fluid bottle, coilovers/top mounts.
(Wishbones are temp!)
Alot of small bits in the bay in, Scuttle built up/all black bits ceramic coated by The Detailing Station and...
Bought as much as i can new over the years as i've found things. Anything used has been refurbished (power steering pipes etc as an example)
I also have x2 ph1's as donor cars and box loads of bits from around 10 years of saving bits/breaking them 🥲.
There will be alot of ph1 bits forsale when...
Finally got a few hours on it today, got to start opening packets of new things! Trying to get interior back together so i have a bit more room in the workshop!
Cleaned another headliner/new handles etc. Trims/belts in. Tailgate built up.
Started building doors up but called it a day 😅
It has begun....fitting nice new things 😅
Thanks to Scott at Scottglaze Perth for getting genuine front and rear glass and fitting... And helping fit the trophy spoiler...have held off on sides at the mo to see if i can source better used ones or new.
I sell reproduction ones of these for the ph1 172, Aswell as bumper insert stickers.
Can be found on Facebook at Renomotive. Or message here 👍
Cheers @Paul172sport
RIP X283 BDB
Sent it a little to hard this afternoon and a rod appears to have exited the block. Unsure on the cause but will get in about it at some point when its getting stripped 😅 It was fun whilst it lasted 💪
It was Y372 NBU,
Went to ireland and got VJZ 7135
Returned here on that plate for a few years then Matt got it put back to a UK plate...But dvla cant assign the original Reg back to the car, So got an age related plate issued (i'm unsure what that one was) Then he stuck on the private plate it...
Thats Matt Bishop's. Not sure of his user name on here. This was the Irish reg one that I also owned a few years back, The V5 change might be when he got the irish reg 'VJZ' swapped back to a UK plate.
Cheers for the positive feedback! I'm looking forward to getting it back and starting to build it. Need to get the Flamer track car out the way first so been sticking some hours into that! On the plus side most parts are new/refurbished now so hopefully the build process on the sunflower wont be...
Yeah it would bring a tear to a glass eye 🥲
It is an incredible job 😅 I was also quite surprised they stripped the handles, But its the detail i'm aiming for with the build so atleast they were on the same page 😎
Fitted these seats to my mates Flamer Ph1. Recaro Trendlines retrimmed with OE material, 6 sets of seat covers to get enough usable material for them! They look ace. Could well be a worlds first?
Also fitted a dark blue flocked dash, Pics make it look bright! but its very dark in person And...
