Had a friends 182 in last week to give it a good deep clean and sort the headlights out. Pretty scruffy before i started Not too bad on the lights but yellow at the top Onto the wash stages with the green foam this was rinsed and then wheels and arches were cleaned...

Update 5/3/14 Just a small one today as I have been doing a lot of overtime at work. Got the parts dropped off and now collected painted. Look so much better Also got spark plugs, both handbrake cables, oil filter and oil.

It's a mate of mines this car. Well looked after

Ive tested the drivers side and seems to be working ok so far.

Update 12/2/14 Got the parts I'd taken off ready to go to shot blast/ powdercoat today, stripped calipers of pistons and seals etc. Thought I'd show you how bad the rust is on the hub Then the caliper And then this is a stripped rear caliper Had a few issues when I was...

Went two days ago and this offer is still on for the smaller one

Update 11/2/14 Got stuck in this morning again and got the front end stripped! Learnt my lesson and bought a blow torch to free off some of the rusty nuts Looks like this at the minute. Dumped all the gearbox oil when I pulled the driveshaft off. Hence all the absorbent granuals...

Will this be for sale?

Update 9/2/14 After putting the drivers side back together Ive pulled the car out and had a good tidy of my workshop and swept it all out ready to do the passenger side. Taken the bumper off fully now and the passenger side wing. I'm amazed how much crap has come out the wing...

No not at all. Just make sure it's 4/5 thin coats and one final decent coat.

It's easy to use. Still going strong on the volvox wheels after two years. Wheel cleaner and pressure washed regularly

Smart mate. Wheel looks good too!

8/2/14 Put the wheels back on and got the car back on the ground. It's a bit too low at the minute. Think I need to adjust the spring a bit tighter on the shocker at the front.

Yeah both wheels are off the ground. I will need a c spanner I guess

I've fitted my units today and just wondering whether it should be adjusted higher or not? My arb is nowhere near my bottom arm anymore. Advice appreciated!!

Finally starting to look like a car under the arch again! Got the calipers re assembled today Was a bugger getting the new piston in past the seals Got everything bolted back on, I cleaned all the original nuts and bolts with my bench grinder and wire wheel. And that's...

Forgot while I was waiting in between coats of paint I got the track rod, end and bottom arm fitted. Also the lock nut that stops your tracking moving was absolutely knackered on the old arm so I bought 2 new ones. Have a guess how much 1 nut cost? :doublesho £3.26 apparently it's...

Update 6/2/14 Got my bits back from the sand blaster. Look a hell of a lot better but not 100% Primer applied then a few coats of satin black for the hubs and gloss black for the calipers and brackets I've also decided to calm down with the spending on the car and start...

I did think that buddy as because you push them in from the inside they oppose each other to stop them moving

With the washers on they are tight in the mounting holes anyway

I'll just pop a small tack on it I think

It it doesn't say to do that from powerflex. Is it recommended?

Update 5/1/14 Got the outer shells pressed in and then the rest of it assembled. Also my parts kit for the calipers came today, new seals for front and rear calipers plus new pistons for the fronts. www.biggred.co.uk if anyone is looking do parts for all cars.

I've got it in right then. Thank you

They must be different to mine? I don't have the bottom blue bit!

I've put these on tonight and not sure if the spring is the right way round?

Ordered front and rear seal kits and new front pistons. Thanks for the heads up.

Thank you. Appreciate the reply. That's what forums are for helping people! I'll have a look underneath and see if I can find that part.

Microfibres

Yeah but the hose is crimped onto a copper brake pipe and then goes straight into the caliper.
