It’s yellow

[Ant1]

Never seen a yellow phase 1 but now I own one.

 

[v15ben]

@Harpham's old one. Nice!

 

[Ant1]

Had a respray since

 

[Stefan.]

You're mad

 

[Rob]

I thought it was blue?

 

[Gus]

Crazy

 

[Gus]

Can we get a team photo of all your phase ones

 

[Paul172sport]

Lovely. Good to see it's still about and being looked after

 

[PP200t]

Very nice. Ive liked sunflowers since @Middo's back in the day.

 

[182_steve]

Very nice indeed, wheels look great on it

 

[Coops Mk1]

ah its Harpham's old one is I, didn't recognise the reg. seen this few times years ago when he owned it

 

[Ant1]

I f**king love it, genuinely. The exterior is as close to how it rolled off the factory line as it can be. It drives like a bag of spanner’s though, rack ends fucked, wheels need balancing, and either a engine mount is fucked or drivers side drive shaft. All easy wins.

Gotta love sunflower but I bet it doesn’t beat that little jewel of flame red you just bought.. lol

 

[Ant1]

Flamer drives better ?

Thought it would with how you describe it!! Bet it’s the best one you’ve ever driven lol

Now it has a new set of B14s, rack ends, spacers all round and camber bolts, it’s pretty damn good.

 

[deanoE30M3]

lol and it wasn’t rotten, what a score!!

 

[Ant1]

lol and it wasn’t rotten, what a score!!

Just a respray needed ?

 

[deanoE30M3]

Old car, paints easy rotten shell isn’t ?

Depends what day of the month it is ?

 

[Ant1]

Couple more before I drove it home.

 

[cat171]

Did you buy it from Steve ?

 

[Ant1]

No

 

[Scrooge]

Bet the welding took longer than the painting!

Glad it’s painted, looks a million times better. Last time I see it it was fucked.

Love a sunflower

 

[Cookie]

Ruuuuuuuusssssttttttttttt

Good luck

 

[welshname]

Glad it's had a respray. Harpham won a competition for detailing on it. Cameras are better detailers than the pros

 

[Ant1]

Yes had all sills done, rear bumper brackets, and rear 1/4s. Doesn’t bother me as it’s been done correctly.

 

[imprezaworks]

Old car thats had restoration/paint/etc and now looks great.

Sounds like a plan to me.

 

[Ant1]

I don’t have to worry about any rust removal now so no drama. It will get most 172s evevntly.

 

[182_steve]

Looks stunning in those 2 new photos! As mentioned above, if the rust removal work has been done and more importantly has been done well and to the best standard, wouldn't bother me in the slightest, it's a bonus really on a phase 1 these days. With the lows the car already has can see the appeal of some 16" F1's but would need to be silver IMO would really finish it off

 

[massivewangers]

Looks lovely that. My favourite Ph.1 colour by far.

[Simon998]

Love those wheels.

 

[Ant1]

Fitted new offside shaft, rack ends, and engine mount. All needed replacing and now drives much better.

 

[Marky_]

@Harpham's old one. Nice!

Knew I recognised that plate!

 

[Mr R.]

That was a proper shed when he sold it to @TheEvilGiraffe and a track slag.

It certainly needed some work going by the pic port folio. However it’s fertaibky transformed now, you know how fussy I am.

 

[Ant1]

Spent a few hrs on the bay and replaced various parts. Still need to replace ecu tray, paint engine hoist mount, paint slam panel bolts and replace engine cover bolts.

Then try and source cold air feed plus bulk head matting.
