Doesn't sound like it's happening here but I suppose it's worth a look.
The plate that you need to lift over to get reverse on my PMS shifter was ever so slightly bent over meaning I couldn't set it up to reliably get both first and reverse in all situations. A few raps with a hammer made it...
Thinking about it. Just simple white stripes down the flanks with 'GENDARMERIE' inset into them. The police ones have chevrons front/rear so I'm not sure I'd want to do that part which leaves me some artistic license.
165hp at the flywheel. That'd be about right for a 182 from the few I've been around being dyno'd.
If it's known as an accurate Dyno rather than an ego-massaging one I'd be happy with that.
Had a chat with SWRP when I picked it up, they don't seem super concerned either just they can't weld the other side with the engine in!
Consoled myself with fitting a 55cm transit aerial to make it look like an RC car and to fit in with the Livery I'm thinking about...
Good luck seeing that while having a look at the underside.
They're small rust patches in a non structural area that are going to cost very little to fix, meh.
If you want to see rusty/knackered just wait 'til I update my Ph1 thread.
Plot twist.
It's got rust in the common place in both rear arches where salt etc sits on the rails so they've had to abort.
Rang Scot at SG in a bit of a panic, he said it's absolutely nothing to worry about, would never ail an MOT like it and isn't that worrying and if it were his car he'd...
I am really pleased with it and the price I paid! I wanted one I could drive and not devalue with a few miles. The phots on CC actually didn't do the car justice as it was slightly dirty when photographed. I was surprised how tidy it was when I picked it up, the condition was a credit to the...
Dropped a very dirty Vee off at SWRP today.
Drove it to West Sussex and back to pick up some auction wins on Tuesday and haven't had a chance to wash it.
They provide a full set of photos etc, I'll report back when it's done. Assuming I get up in time...
PH did a feature on them not long ago

Well, the Twingo went today, it's off to be someone's first car!
Also had a call while doing the paperwork, SWRP have a cancellation, it's in for full Dinitrol at 9am on Thursday to be picked up Monday.
Well my Twingo 133 is being picked up tomorrow so this is going to be pushed into the daily role until my 172 is recomissioned.
I bought the Vee last month via collecting cars, it already has a few modifications.
It sits quite low on KW Variant 3 suspension
Royal retrims steering wheel...
Quick update..
It's been off the road since Xmas 2015 due to me doing an MSc and moving to the Midlands for a bit.
I've been buying the bits to recommission it though...
See I'm not on the list any more! Have updated the one I scrapped and the I still have.
