I won't be for a while mind, extension is still sapping all my expendable cash :dapprove::dapprove:

This evening I have removed both tar patches in the front doors, and removed the rear nearside one, just the offside and all the tar patches will be out!

Cool. I am working in Winchester tomorrow I'll give you a ring text when I finish probably around 5.00pm. I am really intrigued to find out how the cage will fit around the dash.

Yeah a project thread would have been good Tom.

 

[tom172cup]

[Fletcher]

As the 172 hasn't moved for about 2 months :dapprove: I gave it a quick snow foam. I have lowered the front down a bit..

Cheers guys.

 

[Rob]

What's with the one random wheel?

Looks great btw.

 

[Jekyll]

Looks good fletch. So now you've dropped the front, will it need re-aligning again?

What wheels are staying on, anthacites or whites?

 

[Fletcher]

What's with the one random wheel?

It's only on whilst I try and clean the baked on brake dust Rob. DS3000 pads have left them in a right state, I am also out of Iron X :dapprove:

 

[TimR26]

Looks good mate

I'm off work this week so I can pop round with my DA to polish her up if you want.

Not sure Mark. I'll probably have to raise it again anyway to get in on a low loader..lol
Once it's back on the road I plan on having it corner weighed, and set up properly anyway.

The anthracite 2118s are wrapped in R888 ( track wheels)
White 2118s are wrapped in parada ( daily wheels) The rubber needs swapping over Tbh.

That sounds good mate. I'll drop you a text/ ring next week.

 

[Daniel]

I'd put two white/two grey wheels on one set of rubber and the other set of rubber on the remaining two grey/two white wheels.

I like that look!

 

[VeinAST]

Looking good as always Fletcher!

Good stuff. Are you around to give me hand at the weekend mate?

Is the go ped fixed then?

 

[TimR26]

That's good mate. Does that mean the extension is almost finished?

 

[Christopher.]

Yea iv got nothing planed.

She will be tomorrow night hopefully

 

[Fletcher]

That's good mate. Does that mean the extension is almost finished?

Well not really...lol

I bought the French doors and side door Sat, so once they are fitted the extension shall be water tight and secure. Then it's just a matter of sorting the electrics/ plumbing etc.

 

[mr_n]

Will all our cars be on the road and sort of fixed in 2013? Lets hope so.
