It was yours that made me want a flamer! It's just a shame it fades a bit with age

It really isnt that tidy if you saw it in up close but I appreciate your comments though, I may be better off getting the bonnet and bumper done and a few bits of correction.

Here's a little walk round video of it in uncleaned condition, I think it makes it look better than it is. There drivers side has a rippled dent in the rear quarter and the doors have chips that I've touched in on the opening edge. Other than that it needs a bonnet and the front bumper needs a...

I bet he wont comment

I know that feeling but then I didnt spend £3700 thankfully

I wouldnt be too happy coming back to find two snapped wheel bolts, what else has been over torqued etc

Really!?

Yeah it runs fine, passed the mot with no advisories just the paint bugs me along with leaking box. I think a visit to a few body shops for some realistic quotes might be my best course of action, then make a decision. The turinis look ace!😆

I'm in a bit of a quandary over my Flame red 172 since watching @RustyMojo do the bold thing in buying a cleaner example rather than keep throwing cash at a rough car. I've been blindly plugging away getting the rear beam and all the underside stripped back and rust treated while the bodywork...

Looks fantastic that mate! I'm really pleased for you.

The price had dropped too many times in a short space of time, screams out desperate tone so people will be waiting to see it drop further

Yeah I'm that full of myself😆

Maybe I'll keep hold of my flamer then

@R-Sport. Are you still buying and selling 1*2s Steve? I cant seem to find good RB 182 that isnt silly money

Where did you find it?

Jealous! I have a new need for an RB

Titanium on anthracite turinis looks👌 I'll give my car a clean and see if I feel any better about it. I'd love a dent and scratch free 1*2 again.

Meant to say @RustyMojo

@Rustywhat colour are you replacing the Titanium with?

I'm finding myself looking at RB 182s😖. I'd have a few nice bits to swap over in all fairness if I did follow you, I should have made a decision right at the start when I realised it had a gearbox leak and a few panels needing paint. It wouldnt take much to sort, just that paint is such an...

I've spent so much now I feel a bit trapped by mine, it's really just bodywork except for the common gearbox leak- more of a gush though.

You're not giving up on this one are you? The suggestion you might has made me reconsider my options with mine to be honest, the trail of gearbox oil up the drive on Sunday was a kick in the teeth combined with the reality of it needing paint for me ever to be satisfied with it. But still I...

Can either of you tell me which condenser I need for a ph2 172?

Is a 182 condenser the same as a 172's?

Picked up a cheap new bonnet, unfortunately some peoples idea of mint isn't in line with mine

Dont give up just yet, I need the front bumper and a rear quarter doing but I wouldn't be happy if I had nothing to do to it

What's up with it cosmetically?

To be fair I sold my perfect arctic blue (bought from Steve above) for £2800 a few years ago, missed it so bought a rough flamer for £1400. Still got it but it was a mistake!

Do you really se it as a breaker Steve? Maybe not a tidy PB but surely not a breaker

I meant condenser not radiator, I'm hoping that replacing that and the dryer then getting a recharge to see how it goes before looking at anything else. I seem to remember there being really cheap dryers on ECP.
