182 road / track project!

[robbie c]

got myself a bog standard 05 plate titanium 182 in swap for my old astra coupe, have the intentions of turning it into a fast road / track car! hadn't really been cleaned and looked after that well, few minor scratches door dinks etc so 1st job was a full detail and compound, now just have the interior left to do! heres how it looks now:

have already got a set of pro race 2's in black to go on, samco coolant hose kit in blue and a bmc cda. am trying to concentrate on performance 1st, then the exterior then when i dont need it every day stripping it:evil:
cheers for looking guys!

Nice Project, is it me or does it look like diffrent colour front end on the 1st photo?

The door and the arches don't seem to match.

 

[the_prophet]

same story as with all silver 172/182's the arches being plastic take a different colour when sprayed to the doors. all the same.

be a nice a project, is a tidy lookin car. keep us updated mate
