Re: 172 Ownership and progress. 300 or 330?? When is FCS? LOL

Not keen on the bit under the windows, but I like all the other touches.

You and I both know it won't look ass good though. Fair enough colour coded etc looks ok, but you can't beat the front end on a ph1 172... I do hear you though.

It's f**king cool as hell that's for sure, but how's the rust issues? I'd want to jack it right up before I swapped, as at the moment you obviously can't see inside the arch

Non-sport? Explain? Ph1's with buggered engine's are currently around £500-£750, you could sell the bits you don't want and it'd probably cost the same as a non sport.

The engine looks brilliant Jord. I hope you realise you've missed the chance to swap now... lol

Mine was only a little local chain, had more stock than I'd imagined tbh.

Bottom casing come off with THREE screws, one right down the bottom of the casing, two sunk into the middle. They're all T25 torx bits if I remember rightly.

I went down to a local motor factors, and asked him to just grab me the top engine mount for a kangoo etc. at first he brought back to wrong one, but after asking to see if there were any others he found it. TBH it's a pretty distinctive mount, so you should be able to tell it from the wrong one.

Nice little car this. The bits from extreme inferno look very smart indeed. I'm impressed.

Jesus H Christ. The guy can't speak english, doesn't want to see the car, and wants to pay using paypal. Honestly, if the guy turned up doing with an arctic lorry with "I'm a bloody scammer, don't trust me" written along it I don't think he could have been more obvious.

Pritchard's RB last year mate. I think it's literally just a case of cleaning the living day lights out of the thing.. good luck though, as said.

OWZ Rules old car? I've been trying to contact this guy for AGES!!!! Damn, looks like he won't becoming back now... Cool car though, very unique. Might be pushing it a bit, but have you got his number?? I just wanted to ask him something about a guide he wrote. Oh and the only thing I'd...

I was there today, just thought I'd throw that out there.

I like the seats, and the exhaust is pretty old school cool for me, but the wheels don't look as good as std, which is a shame.

No they don't mate, it's all about bolt spacing. Different models have different bolt spacing, yours certainly won't have the same spacing as a 1.2, .4 or .6...

I'd give them a call before bad mouthing or anything of the sort on here, and ask them politely if they have a suggestion for a resolution.

Very weird, why are you using enamel paint though? Try your tin of lacquer with some standard halfords spray, see if you get the same results... If you do, dodgy tin of lacquer.

As t'others have said, it's a bloody well looked after car.

I'd also be asking NWP if they have anything to say about the fact your belt has chewed itself up after 10k miles...
