Really looking forward to this now! Hope for dry weather.

Sell me your Wilwoods :) That will shift for £3,000+ easy I would say, you know as well as most that trying to find a nice 182 is like looking for gold in your back garden. 8/10 of them are shitters.

Not my cup of tea but kudos for trying something different!

Cheers guys, appreciate the comments!

I want to finish off the engine bay first, powdercoat the cambelt cover in silver and replace the engine mounts. Undecided on whether to replace with OEM parts or solid mounts though. Also want to do something with the PAS resevouir as I think it really lets down the engine bay, I have seen a...

Thanks mate, the arches took a fair amount of time but i'm pretty happy with them now.

Re: ArcticClio182...progress.. Good news mate, quick turn around too! How much are they charging you if you don't mind me asking..

It looks like a completely different car! I really like that on the silver turini's!

That noise! I love these things.

The upgraded Gates cambelt made me laugh, good up to 400bhp! :rolleyes:

Looking good mate and it looked well out on track! Has the Jimny gone now?

Thanks guys, really appreciate the comments! Lol, I was trying to think where I had been this year. Thanks buddy! Cheers chaps! Thanks mate, yeah lots of man hours involved but it's worth it in the long run. I had mine powdercoated in Satin Black but I couldn't see any real issue with...

Worth a read, i was in stitches. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=290978227408

His work is second to none! Can't wait for mine to be done.

My bad lol

A pram, tyre foam, torque wrench and some QD with a few microfibres incase of bird poo lol!

Some great photos, the Forge MK1 Golf is awesome!

I'm not sure about the best on the forum but that means a lot, thanks mate! Yeah I bet, it's just frustrating when you keep your car really tidy and then you notice a mark that wasn't there the last time you washed it. It's impossible to have a completely mint car if it's used daily anyway...

Thanks buddy! Haha! We will arrange one shortly for sure!

Thanks mate, I was awaiting this comment lol! Yeah I do love the 182 wheels but I fancied a change. Thanks, yeah it's been a labour of love and my bank balance has been heavily hit lol! Loads of plans still, Interior is next on the list - Recaros, retrimmed steering wheel and a few other...

Yeah I had the bumper, bonnet and wings painted on mine. Mine cost £1000 all in but I had my wheels refurbished too so if you take £250 off that it probably cost me around £750 for the bodywork but the company are notoriously expensive, that was mates rates too.

Thanks! Yeah, the coating will be worn off the faces pretty quickly and just leaves the hub and outer edges of the discs protected against corrosion. Nothing worse than rusty discs ;) Who did you suck off to get back on here? Lol! Yeah it's been ages mate, we will have to arrange a KK meet soon!

Thanks mate! Cheers Bobby, some of your old 182 have made her how she is! If it hadn't bled me dry I would have hit you up to a deal on that 197. Good luck with the sale mate, be good to have you back in a MK2. Lol! I live in the ghetto (Redfield) I'm not over that way much but occasionally...

Thanks Tim, appreciate the comments. I was originally planning to purchase some trophy turini's but I preferred the offset of the Speedline ones. The centre caps are something I have considered but the colour difference between the caps and wheels would annoy me even more I think lol! Thanks...

Having now owned my 182 for a year I thought it was about time I treated it to a bit of a refresh and a few new toys so I thought i would start a progress tread with where I am to date and my future progress with the car. All of the below has happened since April 2013. I purchased the car from...

Sorry to hear about your incident Tom. Just so your aware, if your having your bonnet painted most good bodyshops will normally insist you have your wings painted too so they are able to blend the colour.

Some nice shots, it was a good day out! The drifters were brilliant, especially the Volvo!

I found it straight away with search.. 848908319R

Gutted for you mate but at least your okay, that's the most important thing!

Looks very nice, hope you enjoy it as much as the 200! I have washer blanks fitted to my FF 182 and had no issues at my last MOT.
