That's great work thus far. Incredibly cheap bodywork too so presume not far gone enough to require chopping and welding. I'm expecting about 700 for mine for same arch as there's rot in it so it'll need replacing fully
This is basically the new version of it, as said mine like 15 years old ish so nla, lol

Got the rears in today, one was snapped and the upper near side rear platform is basically gone, rotted off so that may be a nail in the coffin come MOT time.....
Anyone know if you can get repair panels for the spring mounts?!

Bit more done today, replaced the abs rings up front and fitted my eibach prolines.

And lol at the...

Just seen this @KitsonRis did you sort the issue? There is a sequence to recode a plip issue, search the forums.
I need my spare one sorting, but for starting car too, what auto locksmith did you use?
Me again....
So it begins once more, 3.5 years ago I picked up a phase 1 172 from @boomerbang2006 in Odyssey Blue with intent in all honesty to kill it for spares and make some money. 3.5 years on i'm 5 grand into that one and it's a lovely thing, nearly complete and all it needs is paint to...
I presumed it was series restricted :ROFLMAO:
In all seriousness though outstanding work and the attention to detail and correcting all the little niggles is the mark of a true pro. Nice one
