detailing brush may work... might be better of snowfoaming it first then use 2 bucket method on it.. then seal it with somat decent ;) haha

dyno it before and after if you can ?

C02 spray can.. can get em most computer shops or probs ebay . or some one with a compressor and air blower.... then maby a tooth brush for the scrubbing

why would he need to change all that if hes fitting a 1.4 ???

insurance is far from cheaper on a conversion.. trust me iv tried. thing is you can get a 1.4 engine for yours for 200quid if that. drop that in if thats whats causing it not to start. as for the conversion.. 500 for labour then 1k for a donor.. then the huge insurance jump.. more fuel...

in all honesty mate unless there is some sentimental value or a special feature about your chassis ie weld in cage... it would be alot better to buy a sport.. will cost the same, be alot easier, save many problems and save alot on insurance. i only 172'd mine because its a van and would be a one...

you dont ''need'' the hubs, shafts, gearbox but it is better with all the propper running gear

there is a million threads on this already. basically you need a 172 and a donor car then pretty much re-shell it onto your 1.4 chassis.

yeah man get some pics posted

i have the same problem.. have a few motor bikes that need to be rebuilt fairly often.. which need heat cycling several times( leaving to get upto temp ticking over then shut down , cool of then repeat) then piss and moan about it every time. which i must admit is only every few months and...

so the 830's cams fitted would be give a slight increase in performance... fitted along with pistons as i take its them thats diff and not the stroke length ?

wet sanding would more than likely cut through the basecoat to , revealing whatever may be underneath the paint.. ie primer, shiny panel etc... then if that doesnt cut through then machine polishing it back up almost certainly will

jeeezz check out the rear arch gaps..

looks good that mate... can i ask why your removing the egr valve though ?

ahh is it a camera trick then ? iv only had a quick look at what i can see on here.. just noticed there is 2 seats

what are they ? a cut down or a smaller scale rep ? and what engine

2k basecoat, from any reputable paint shop.. upol is always a good one to go with.. avoid plastikote etc.. also use 2k lacquer and 2k high fill primer ( also best of sticking with upol for )

its a start i suppose.. any more mods planned ?

wonder if you can buy this in tins to spray with a gun etc

depends how well its been looked after .. and any previous rebuilds etc. it may be fine for another 20k or it may drop to bits in the first 3k ... gotta also think why is the person selling it at this point rather than running it into the ground etc
