Not sure if you’re aware of the current situation?

I thought he may have moved? 😂

Don’t usually bother with spotted posts, however I couldn’t help but notice a new neighbour has moved in 200 yards away, with four 182’s parked on the drive!🤣 Come on own up...

I have spent hours going over the 182 fixing the normal leaking foot wells. Scuttle drains x 3 Sill drains Heater matrix seal in scuttle Bulkhead seal Front arches, side skirts stripped. I can happily wash the car now, and the footwells remain Dry.. However, dampness starts to form beneath...

...and she is back in business! Fresh MOT, ABS sensor replaced with a Steering angle reset! Insured her, all taxed up, and hit the road. She’s mint, sounds wicked, strong pull at 5k. Going to get the oil changed this week, good to be back again🤠

All fixed and sorted

My 182 washer jets are terrible, and failed the MOT on this among other items. I’ve took out the bottle, and washed it all out, I have purchased new jets, 2 pumps and new bung rubbers. However the wiring looks to have been butchered at some point? I seem to have 2 cores (green and white)...

I’ve had a go at tackling the fuel filler area - be kind.. When I dismantled it, it’s clear this was the worst rusted area on the car. There should be 2 holes holes and a rectangle, however rust had disintegrated it.. I removed the filler cap which ended up snapping.. The old rivets were...

She’s getting there 👍

New 520x90mm plate on, I was going to use double sided pads but non were included. So screws it was. Also fitted new inner tie rods, gaiters and track rod ends. The grill was also missing some clips so had RPD send out new ones. Also purchased engine cover stainless screws off eBay and put them on.

Great work Steve! I’m currently refurbishing my Arctic blue 182, but the efforts you have gone to make mine look poor! Haha Keep up the good work, and can I ask, is that Goonzquad’s YouTube music playing in the timeframe videos? 🤣

Passenger sill finished off, tried to straighten the jacking point, rubbed off all rust bubbles and treated them, covered over with primer. Gave the front end a clay bar, removed the plate as a new one is on the way. Fixed the washer jets and leaking Reservoir too (MOT fail precious time)

Trying to diagnose the ABS/ SERV light, my friends diagnostics pulled up these 3 codes. Anyone have idea what they refer to, or will I need Clip to pin point further?😎

I had it collected on a flatbed from Leeds in Feb, it’s been garaged since then. Probably it’s twin :)

Some more movement on the 182. All the interior is back together, seats Bolted back in underneath. Swapped the cat over and sold it to the cat man, not happy with the olive joint so chopping it off and installing a fabricated connector that I made on the flamer project All new shocks on...

Some more updates on the 182! Pretty much finished the rear now, bumper is back on. Cleaned up two alloy wheels which were heavily pitted. Brushed down the drivers sill and protected with primer. Still working on fuel filling surround. Side skirt is now back on. Working on OSF arch. New...

I’ll see if there is any adjustment when I get time.

Not fitted it yet mate, however the last one I bought for Flame Red 172 project went through MOT fine with no emission lights.

Rear underneath all rust treated and Hammerite painted on. Polished up the exhaust, haven’t a clue what brand it is. Just had a delivery from RPD, so threw the new rear shocks on.

I think I would be climbing the walls if it wasn’t for the little Clio! 🤣

I ordered a pattern one from cat2u. the old one looks tired and it generates some cash towards the refurb work.

Cleaned up the rear beam, wire brushes, rust treatment and soon to paint with black Hammerite. The rear callipers look brand new. Had a sift through paperwork they were installed 2017, along with discs, bearings and pads. The brake lines are also Goodrich New Catalytic Converter just arrived too.

Some more progress since I’m home and isolating away in the garage.. managed to fix the leak🤞 scuttle panels blocked. Jet washed the carpets and cleaned up the interior Removed both front arches and side skirts to remove the normal soil build up and give the sills a good scrub. With the...

Due to C-19 and visiting Thailand, work have forced me into a two week isolation. Perfect time to tinker with the 182! Saturday morning I had the car dropped off, and was able to have a nosey. The ‘slight leak inside’ was actually a swamp. It had turned the carpets white. My first job was to...

The standard loom for the spots plugged into pre wired connector on the car loom near the horn (left wheel arch), so unsure how you would hard wire it from scratch..

I have a ph1 fog light loom somewhere sat in an envelope, someone on here asked for them but pulled out. If any use?
