182 Pick Up Project - with pics

[172 Préservation]

Managed to get my hands on a really clean 182 FF, 59k with belt history, cup packs etc
Let me know what you all think of my pick up project so far........

 

[Wrighty.]

Its.... different

 

[172ben04]

like a lot!!!

 

[Tony Hunter]

Looks like somebody has been at it with an axe.


But I'm sure it will get better, they always do.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Have the fire brigade been at it? Lol

 

[danward]

I really hope this gets better! Poor 182!

 

[Matt Cup]

Cup spoiler needed.

 

[.Andy.]

What the.......

 

[Andy93]

Cup spoiler needed.

I wanted to post that!

 

[Inequality Street]

Haha! Thats brilliant!

 

[Knuckles]

Lol!

 

[Alex5]

erm wtf!

 

[Nick172Cup]

Does look very clean to be cut up. What happened to it?

Might have had a tiny little dent in the roof?. Saves reshelling it.

 

[Bluebeard]

Did you get the tyres from Thorpe Park water section?

 

[Mr R.]

Oh dear.

It hurts my eyes.

 

[MattRS182]

Is this serious?

 

[-Danman-]

Get some fabric and make a convertible.

 

[Mr Burns]

Did you get the tyres from Thorpe Park water section?

Now you mention it... You have a point!

OK OK, THIS IS A WIND UP, I HAVEN'T DESTROYED A NICE 182.


However, this car does sit here with no roof!!


I've acquired the car to break up (for sale thread will be started soon). Around 18 months ago a tree fell on to the car and the owner couldn't claim on his insurance and held on to the car until now.


I couldn't resist taking the roof off and starting this thread just to see what comments it got!!


Here's a pic of the car before the chop just to show I'm not mad!

 

[Advikaz]

haha, fair play mate, this looks like a laugh.

 

[172 Préservation]

Unfortunately the cup spoiler didn't survive! And to repeat, I'm not actually building a pick up despite the positive comments its been given!

 

[Barwy]

Haha great thread, good photographs too! The car actually looks pretty tidy considering it's had a tree resting on it's roof. Almost looks as good as this GEM on eBay a while ago: (I can't believe it sold...!)

 

[172 Préservation]

^^^^^^^^^^
At least the parts off mine are salvageable we're as the Fiat is ready for the scrappy!!

The owner must have been gutted when it happened as its the cleanest 172/182 I've come across bar a couple of scuffed wheels. Except the o/s door the rest of the car is mint, no hand sized dents in the bonnet, clean headlights, mint seats etc all on 59k

 

[jesus]

I liked the idea and am now disappointed :dapprove:

 

[syko6288]

Me too I was looking forward to a 182 pickup

 

[MattRS182]

I was also looking forward to this.. pretty gutted..

 

[Jordi17]

Looks like a gay convertible

 

[172ben04]

you should carry on with it or give me it

Ban him for creating a thread of disappointment.

I like the idea of a well executed 182 pickup.
