thought I'd start a project thread on my 172 as it's in need of some TLC.
plans/goal is to get it to a much higher standard, subtle mods nothing overly fancy, a sleeper without being cheaply thrown together really.
as I got it last Tuseday.
Headlamp correction was first on the cards as they had some serious scuffing, the scratches didn't completely come out but they still look a lot better.
Steering wheel was on the piss and pulled ever so slightly, not surprising as most of the wheels have met a kerb at some point so next job was tracking, I used the opportunity to get under it and have a poke around, I was surprised at how good it was.
gearstick gaiter fell apart when I tried to push it back into it's hole so that was replaced.
how it currently stands
wheel refurb was planned to be next but after checking the cambelt THAT will be getting done first!
by my standards it's still good but apparently by 172 standards it really isn't :nono:
