Alex is fantastic. I walkways value his opinion and most of the time, take it on board. (When I dont, its more because I'm fussy and its normally aesthetics!)
Are you local to Harlow? I see the retail park you've taken a picture of there and of course Alex in dunmow, Tyre Smart in Witham.
Very nice write up Darren. Having spoken to Alex, I knew a bit of the back story on it and its nice to know that all this work has been done by the original owner. Just goes to show that there is something that attaches us to these little cars.
I cant take too much credit as I didnt do nowhere...
My only concern is its not a sport as such, but as mentioned, if you like that thats all that matters. Its always something that can be removed if you change your mind.
I think a few more will follow soon.
As you said, phones are so good nowadays and have loads of features for you to do (depth of field, wide angle, shutter speed, etc) that its easier to just take your camera.
Phones still have limits when it comes to zooms and when you enhance the pics, but...
@Yorkshire Pudding This doesn't sound like the old decatted yozza's funnily enough. Its actually more tame in comparison, which is a good thing. I heard a decatted OG yozza recently and it sounds different to mine, and indeed yob like!
I also bought some 3d printed centre caps for my 2118s. Reason being is that my custom/current ones was so tight fitting them in the wheels, that it lifted some lacquer around the edges. Too much material on the sides i reckon. So i picked up some of @Louis 3D printed ones. He does various...
One thing that has bugged me for years is the drivers side rear door card. Reason being is its all ok barring the top clip that's broken, exposing the drivers seat belt (near the B pillar)
Although this is minor for some, i know its not right. I have bought 2 different replacements over the...
Sorry for the late reply.
The black piece is standard 172 cup item. I would imagine a non sport with no aircon is the same too, but i cant comment further than that as i've never really looked into it. This panel is the same size and fitment as a air con 172/182 model, but just has it extended...
Kyle, I'm already there. Well kind of.
The bulkhead is a little pale in places where its not been fully painted from factory. This was one of the main reasons that its taken me so long to do this.
However, I do have some RB basecoat paint leftover and also have some RB 2k paint (although its...
Thanks guys.
I'd like to fit some rubber edging to it so its a bit more finished and less sharp. Any recommendations as to what? Maybe a small u piece, but has to be flexible to go round the corners without pinching up.
Had some old Nimbus at work that wasnt being used, so i used it to make my heat shield. The old one was loose on the Engine mount side and was not finished due to me removing my AC.
So with my new cup bulkhead blank painted, I ripped out the old bulkhead felt mat and preceeded to make my nimbus...
