cheers, ordering new white pro race 1.2's now, 250 quid, bargain

Never understood euro styling, it doesn't look right

Cally tore her cruciate ligament, and ripped the cartalidge jumping off a chair in a dance show, so shes now in recovery for the next 9 months. Poor girl. Thanks for the comments, appreciated Custom sized my dear fellow, 48cm wide, 9cm deep. fits the recess beautifully

I'm stealing your camera addz, how does my car look that clean?! it'd never pass the white glove test in reality

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm very interesting.... dont know whether I like this or not

On a slightly different note, was it you I spotted in matlock bath on friday? Twas a flamer with black 172 alloys

38,000 bit gutted about that too, cus I don't think it's had the 36,000 service:( On another note, just ordering my new rims from rimstock, do i go for white or black pro race 1.2's?

I'm not insured on it yet, waiting a month till I turn twenty;) tbh what I've learnt from this is, having any no claims bonus, is like gold. If you've got no ncb like me, forget being insured on anything bigger than a 1.6 Yeah, this car has been interesting, dedication does not come close...

Well, I guess my car has reached project status, so as pointed out by addz, it needs its own thread. Basically my cars life started out in the hands of some chav, who'd put a charming body kit on the car, and proceeded to drive into something a lot harder than a clio. So I purchased the car...

This man speaks the truth

If things like the starter motor have gone, and you've not even viewed it yet, I'd walk away, make sure you ask him how it's a Cat D though, and how it's been repaired. Plenty of better examples of 182s on this forum to be had though.

Cat D can be a number of things, from flood damage, to fire or vandalism £4,500 would sound about right. My cars Cat C, but the annoying thing is that its mechanically in better condition than most 182s, as it's all been rebuilt with new parts.

It's the orange paintwork, people love it, but I'm quite happy with the kit off now, definatly the right choice. The car needs smaller wheels as it is, and with that chin on, putting smaller wheels on would make it impractically low, and it helps with insurance

plenty of pics from before:

Think I'm just about ready to have another bash at doing something on the car, would either addz or matty j, or anyone else for that matter, like to come and help remove all this adhesive with me? i can't afford an evenings pay, but i think i can garuntee a decent pizza from a good place in matlock.

bottom right corner of the windscreen, on the dash

following my lead are we? :rasp: ....do it, looks good

thanks for the comments, finally making some decent progress with it

hahahahaha, is all I'm saying at that first video Love the noise and speed of the thing though, had me clinging on the other day

the glue can be cleaned up, but it will need spraying anyway, as the paint underneath isn't in a good state

the car is a nightmare, but puts a smile on my face. so worth it in the end. funds are the only thing annoying about it really, I'm quite happy to put the work in if i get the car i want at the end of it

thanks for that, I'll have to ask for a quote. You coming to the uttoxeter meet on sunday?

ah, shall do next time. Don't suppose anyone can reccomend a decent body shop for spraying in my area can they?

wooo help galore... why did no one offer when i was trying to get the splitter off!:rasp: Could definatly use a hand with removing adhesive, so I'll let you all know soon

Haha yeah, it's taking a while, next on the list is 16" alloys. Might have to get a new thread going

Cheers, could use a hand cleaning all the adhesive up, not sure whether to wet sand it or not. Saves the body shop having to remove it. I'll give you a call when i start to atempt it

Thanks mate, took it for a spin on my private road afterwards, just to remind myself why I'm going through all this... massive smile on my face.

Thanks for the comments, as for the cost of all this, I've lost count... I think it's somewhere around £8,500.

Finally, I've removed all of the body kit!!! Burnt both thumbs in the process, but it's done, and it looks so much better for it :D starting to come off... First time I've seen my cars bumper:approve: Custom plates supplied by Addz So pleased, now all i...

Nice, liking the yaris, surprised i havent seen it around actually. technically i live in wirksworth, but spend all my time at the gf's in darley dale
