yeah must be about that now, honestly can't really remember when I had it all done. had the car since 2007

correct, you need phase 2 172 two piece or actual 182 cup or phase 1 172 no use

And for a giggle, fitted the wheel too the assembly, or perhaps fitted the assembly to the wheel? Either way, mock up complete Cheers Ben

Built up the front hubs with calipers, discs, roll kit etc etc to test fit it all plus easier to store now too! New Brembo disc fitted to hub, and cleaned up the grub screws Caliper carrier fitted, cleaning up bolts and thread holes as we go Caliper bolted up, sliders etc all cleaned and...

No, as said mines a full 172 wiring conversion including clocks, switches, indicator/wiper stalks etc

Was gonna say, that's a right result if just the hammer 😁

Mint work, basically all hammerite too yeah?

Bit more progress, cleaned up the bargain samco hoses, autoglym engine degreaser first, then soak in washing powder bath and quick scrub. Then many many rinsings Come up lovely Then trial fitted the 172 inner rods to the mk1 manual rack and all good, so just need to acquire some new...

Calipers painted

mega the more pressing question @M90SR though is, any other NOS been found for sale? :)

wrong, well for me anyway, much prefer the dynamics of the mk1, find it much less snappy and more predictable on the limit. although the running gear from the mk2 is better and far more options, so that's why my car is fitted with it all, lol!

And bearings in

mk1 life, 850kg with metal panels bar the bonnet and 212bhp F4R = 249bhp/per ton ;-)

Welcome, nice collection

Caliper pistons removed for checking seals and cleaning/painting Rack cleaned and painted. Need to remove rods and rod ends to hopefully fit mk2 stuff And hubs cleaned up and painted ready for new bearings

i'll use that technique next time @Eddie555, top tip :)

took a bit of cramming get it all into the dash behind the stereo itself, not a lot of room for cable routing!

@Old Tarby! Even got the steering wheel stalk working to recently, although job wheel for change track doesn't want to play ball. considering getting a Sony 6 disc changer and swapping under seat unit too so i can have the changer function but upgraded too :)

inners are a pain on axle stands and with subframe on tight. i'd just get garage do it. outers are as you say, easy and yeah mindisc matey, for that period correct early 2000's upgrade, lol!

progress! miiint! commuted in mine again today, black grape blaring out from the minidisc, love a phase 1

Set of silicone hoses acquired for bargain price, so they'll get a good scrub up when they land

why waste good beer on wiping paint down @dann2707 :unsure:

I did the pretty stuff, 11 years ago now think it was, and at that time sills were solid enough and jacking points were still there.... now they're not. Plus storing outside undercover has not been kind to the roof.

Finally sourced, dismantled, refurbished and refitted the radiator support brackets this weekend on the oddy. Cheers Ben

Standard engine for now, full interior and few nice goodies, get it running then welding and bodywork Knowsit, mega cool ain't they

And brake servo cleaned up and painted with new master cylinder
