Made a trip to falkland y'day to find out the power the Vee was putting out. From previous experiences most V6 owners have had figures ranging from 240-250bhp. Down on the Reno claims, but thats hardly a shocker. I was hoping for between the two. Cars Got an aftermarket exhaust and was...
Rite, Beaten to it on the picture front by Colin...But i had a wee blast on Photoshop, pretty much ruin'd every pic but i was only muckin about...

Around the aerial i've got polish on the platic bit! Tried a few things, which seem to hide it, but doesn't remove it! Whats the best thing to get it offski?
Cracking run today, Glasgow, carluke, moffat, Dumfries.
Not got many foto's myself, i think Ally was snap happy tho!
First road trip for the vee, loved it, had the window down most of the day! The noise never grows old! - Nearly wrapped it in the morning tho coming off a round...
I've not stopped smiling all day! Got it taxed at 9am! Up to glasgow to get my number plate put on and i've honestly had the best day of this yr so far! It's sad how a car can bring so much joy! Got a thumbs up from a ferrari 430! Waved to by 101 chav's! And i swear i could of tap'd the honey at...
The owner kindly dropped me a PM of the old girl. not heard anything in about 3yrs! So glad to see it still lives!

Don't move this...
Random...But the previous owner of the Vee clearly was a prat as there's a mark from how he's closed the bonnet!!
Now dent removal on panels is fairly easy as you can get access...But on the bonnet can they be removed...Granted they are small, but i want it perfect
Any one had a similar...
Ok, trial run and it needs lifted by about 2inches! But as least it works and sounds good!!! Stunnin day here, gave the old girl a wee scrub, then wen't for a rather quick blast! - Quality's poor so the file was small...
Enjoy!

Only a few stood out for me...
Valvers - Amir and the other tungy one beside him - Looked fantastic!
172 - The cup racer style one & The Black 172 with 17in turini's.
182 - Chris's or Steve's
Vee - James's! - No competition, engine cover was stunning!

Your going to be sick of this car before i've even posted pics of the finished article!
Arches had about 3yrs worth of dirt, Again Virosol'd to remove dirt, aggitated with a washin up brush.
Not finished Dressin the arches yet, will do that when the car goes on the road in august...
Once the bonnet, bumper and skuttle pannel were off i set about giving the car a good clean. Came up fairly well. I'm going to dress bits and pieces tomo.
Yes i know you can't see any of this stuff, but i like 'clean'
Brakes are done now, just doing a few coats of laquer.
silver visions...
Kiddin fella!
After moving home, instead of payin my keep i have to detail the cars once a month. After 10hrs i finished my mum's TANK!!!!
Lovely lovely car to work on, No silly curves like the vee or Willy. It's also high up so my backs in one piece still!
Foto's are massive, so only...
Only the inside! Haven't polished the car yet as there's a few bits getting done at the bodyshop, but i decided to crack on with the interior...Which i don't think has ever been cleaned! Took over 3hrs!!! Cleaned all the door shuts, interior carpets, leather and conditioned and the engine cover...
So happy, i was missing the 172 so had to buy this! Deal came together very quickly. UK car, HPi clear, Paid a decent price.
Only got one foto before the camera died. 21k miles, FSH with renault. Cambelts just been done 500miles ago so thats a job saved! Mint condition, bar a wee scratch...
Met up with Colin for a wee blast...It's sold the vee for me. The seats were incredible, Didn't want to tell him i was tenting for the whole trip! ;) haha
Crap pics but tribute to 2 awesome cars. Z won classic Z car of the JTS show! :)

Spend the last 2 days detailing the old man's Z. It's on the Classic Z club stand. One of only 2 Samuri's coming apparently. It's been kept in an air'd cacoon for the last 14yrs so as you can expect it's in decent condition. Few classic aging signs...
For the geeks:
Silver paint was very...
2 questions...(Martin, Ben & jon mite be best to answer)
a/ Moneywise is it the same as a 172/182
b/ Do you need a different head? Think martin had a megane head/valver mani etc? ecu??
Ali
Well Colin picked up the car earlier. She did look amazing! Was so tempted to say "Sorry i'm keepin it" But it was/i hope the rite time to sell.
It's been a 2yr journey, Many of the pics below you've seen, but it shows how it's come on. I knew how i wanted the car to look when i bought it in...
Probably the last pics of pinky. Looks amazing too! :( Always the case when your selling!

Shows the work done to the williams! Only the painting was done by a pro, But to be honest i wish i'd given it a shot...Because it's hardly...
450 Trouble free miles, 450 on the back of a recovery lorry, 1 cliosport meet, 1 gearbox, 1 clutch, 2 arches, 1 hub, 1 driveshaft, 2 disks, 2 alloys, 1 caliper...
It's been a rocky start to the willy relationship...But driving it today for the first time in 5months made it worth while...
Can you use them? Not the cup!
I'm putting the car back up to std spec, but the original willy springs have gone missing...
Can you use FF 172 springs. They look very similar!
