If you want a real "detailer" someone who will do paint work correction and not someone who will just wash and wax your car then i can recomend Ant Scrooge
Or Detail Chris
I have used both of these guys for my car (i trust no one by btw) Ant is in Tilbury, Essex and Chris is in Hullbridge...
Yes Mark i ordered a few bits from them today, i don't know who i spoke to but i said i was on CS.
Don't know how much ive spent but i did get a few prices which where alot better than the prices on DT web site. :)
You will need to order a set from a 172/182 which fit on the left side then...
Id say the front bumper has been painted.
Needs a new coolant bottle and cap.
Front mats are non standard.
Nice miles and price, just needs a bit of loving to make it mint.
Andrew @ ALD will be doing the porting and matching it to my inlets i have sent him.
He will also be fitting the Supertech valves. Once i get it back then i will fit the head, fit the cams and do the cam timing (and put everything else back together)
Mr Woodford will be mapping it. :D
I did a bit more work on the car today but after a nice lay in bed i didn't get outside untill 2 ish.
Anyway i took the rad out along with the coolant hose's as they are going to be replace with black Samco one's.
I also removed all of the alloy bracket's so they can go off for powder coating...
I may take you up on that offer Alex, once i get the head back from ALD.
I will text you on what its going to cost for a few hrs of your time mate.
Head will be off tomo matey, i hope to get it sent to you on Wednesday. :D
All I do is put the spanner onto the nipple and apply some pressure.
While doing this tap the top of the nipple with a hammer.
This shocks the rusty threads and the taper at the bottom of the nipple
It never fails.
If they are very rusty then it might be worth buying a new set 1st.
