Picked up this beuty today, only 80 miles from home. Very tidy for her age, totally standard bar the chavy exhaust :( Its as loud as Betty at 60! :( So, that will be put back to standard! Oh & two tiny dinks in the rear wing.
Only mods will be cup spoiler, splitter & 182 alloys. :approve...
Hey guys, the 172 that Im intrested in has had the cambelt done on 51k (current milage) but didn't have the waterpump done. Is this madness not doing it at the same time?
Do I view or avoid?
cheers
Hiya guys, im thinking of getting a 1*2 to replace the 1.2 but budget wise i can only stretch to 2k, which seems to get you a fairly decent but high milage sport.
Question is, are higher milage sports unreliable/expensive?
Thoughts please. Cheers :D
I haven't given the car a good going over in quite some time believe it or not, so I thought I'd treat the little bucket. She needs correction but Im not too bothered atm.
The tools for the cleanse stage
The car, not that bad
Itunes on!
Wheels Iron X'd
Rinsed with pw
Snow foam...
As above, Im considering LY as my next colour. Saw a LY meggy today & wanted to clean it! If any one fancies a cheap rate clean/protection then pm me! Im located in High Wycombe, SL7 :rasp:
Bloody hell!!! Body wrap Is summat else! :o
I cannot believe how simple It was to get a finish & the protection like I have from testing BW during my lunch break today. The paint on the daily needs a good going over, so I really didn't think BW would do much apart from protect It, boy was I...
Right, im undecided on colour. I have a second set of alloys for the 1.2. But undecided on either antha, white,red or black! lolz
The car
If anyone could russel me some pics i would be very greatful!
cheers & sorry! :approve:
Probably a total waste of time & thread but how about stickering the entire roof? Im not a fan of stickers, but its different? sorta like the fiesta ST's chequered roof? :S
Or cack?
Possibly?
The look on your face yells me no? Or yes? I can't see your face coz im not...
Alright all, managed to get myself a second set of alloys. The same set I sold :o
I wanted to have a go at refurbing, but I am undecided on colour. Im thinking Anthracite, Red or white??
Thoughts?
Tried getting a piccy up at the weekend but failed. Trial fit of one of the pods, I deffo prefer the all black look now! Just need to find someone that can wrap my pods as these didn't fit as snug as I'd have liked :dapprove: Pitty, they looked awesome! :evil:
So, over the winter I shall be...
Right guys, I've decided to take Betty down the stealth route as I just love black on black. All items will be second items as I dont want to mess with the originals.
What do we think to these? :o I think its a Yes btw :rasp:
Undecided on the bonnet, real cf would lighten the front end, and...
Good morning peoples! Right, I have searched a few times on removal of the rear diomond but I haven't found anything really useful! :dapprove: Where are these screws on the boot liner as I only see one! Any help would be muchly apreciated :approve:
Im also looking into removing the clio badge...
So Its been a year now since I picked up the daily. Im quite pleased with her now, just the paintwork that niggles me now but I just have to remember she's the daily!
So, I sold the 106. Was a brilliant little car!
I then headed to Bristol one very wet evening and ended up buying this...
Just wondering If any one else feels the same. I've had Betty just over two and a half years now & I can honestly say I still enjoy her as much as I did when I first got her. The longest I've had any car! I just adore my car, never bored of her! I hope to keep her for many years to come!
:o
Of course she's in the hangar :o I detailed the neices Mini on sunday & had mine parked in the hangar too, be rude not to take a piccy :rasp: Side strips are off to be resprayed once Halfords have the paint in!
:approve:
Hey, I will hopefully be getting my bolts today. I don't like it when I don't fully understand how it all works though & I'd like to! :o
You may have seen how the front wheels are sitting now, pretty wonky! :S I have plenty of positive camber! Can anyone explain how it works without confuseing...
Well I thought I'd give the little one a wash seens as she's laid up until I get the camber bolts & spacers after fitting the coilovers :o Im pleased with how she's sitting, perhaps lower a tad more at the rear & raise a little at the front If she doesn't get up my drive!
All mods inc the...
Finally got my arse in gear & organised a work mate to fit my coilovers & hubs. Really pleased with the height, just need to sort the camber now! 10ml spacers & camber bolts on their way :D Really didn't fancy driving her as she is now, so I'll use Betty until I've sorted It. :approve: Cup...
Hey guys, today I got my coilovers & hubs fitted. I will get pics up asap, then you will see what i mean :o
Firstly, the wheels are very close to the springs. They were rubbing at one point, so we had to raise them up abit to miss the spring. As my alloys aren't the originals, they slightly...
Hey guys, I have just fitted my spoiler, but the brake light is a little dull! Is there a way of changing the bulb or do we just replce the whole lense unit?
Any help would be great, cheers!
