i received a new kit car washer bottle off ebay for a very good price and fitted that last week in the passenger side door card.
and today i went on a treck to do a wheel exchange with Dave_c. i took his 15 inch speedline turinis in exchange for my steelies. got them fitted. need to do...
im guessing people are bored of it now lol ahhh well im not......
it cut out on me the other day and wouldnt fire up i let it cool down and it fired straight back up it then cut out about 3 times more on the way home and started after a rest, this was on a very hot day. ideas...

sort the loom properly
relocate horn
relocate washer bottle
paint the lower lip on the bumper
mount the oil cooler

and also had the gearbox and engine oils to do on...
As it was a nice day i went and pestered my dad for some motion pics, we didnt have long as dinner was on. we only nipped out for 10 mins and these are what he got. they aint the best as he said he had the wrong lense for the job of what i wanted and i didnt have any makeup on.
before i update the thread with the weeks progress ill stick the pics ive taken recently into the thread, they have seperate threads but its nice to have them all in here.
I cleaned the rallye and 172 today so had to get some snaps of my daily and my toy together, shame it was getting abit dark.
Haha the car is in motion altho it doesn't look so much like it. The blurred background shots are what I wanted but like I had said we didn't have the time to play about. May take it out again and ill take the pics on my dslr.
4 on the boot 4 on the bonnet :p
yeah i agree about the decals only problem is the aerocatchs get in the way on the boot, so may just do the side decals

cheers for the comments guys. the car wasnt a million miles away from your part of the country but unless your going off the reg im sure theres more that look like this one.
cheers lads lots still to do tho. haha yeah gaz the evos quite something and so much more fun in this weather ive always been tempted with one but just keep getting drawn to the rallyes plus if i wanted to play in the evo id be allowed as would he in the rallye so we both have free reign over...
with the snow coming over night it had to be taken advantage of.
and a few of my mates evo that was completed at the same time as the rallye over Christmas.
same colour mate all done with the same paint, probably just the pic.
bit of a update as the wheels where letting the car down i had them painted
took the rallye for a spin over matlock.
can you see the guy to the right of the car on his arse? you may have to look closely, he had been...
borrowed a e30 318 the other day loved it, pedals steering wheel and seat all out of line and a accidental drift had me grinning. i want to sell the 172 to get something cheap and ive been wanting a beemer for ages. that 520 e34 looks very nice indeed.
been working away on this doing odds and sods mostly loom taking wires out extending some etc been in no rush. i had made something to cover the wires in the corner but didnt like it so got rid and just zip tied them up until i decide what to actually do.
id drilled out the thread that was used...
and surely a rwd 205 would be useless? far to short. the guy whos done it owns constella itd be a promo car showing what he can do sure 600 brake isnt needed but sticking a 260 brake evo engine in isnt going to get people talking quite like a 600 brake evo engine is it?
Been featured in french car mag but hasnt been on the road yet finishing it off as we speak. fantastic build crazy power. no idea how to embed.
