s**t I want some turbines now just for wall art! They look a great addition to the man cave.

Thanks matey - I have had them years. I cut them back and polished the edges, centre band and cap but a couple have started reacting so they need doing again.

I've had the air con rad ordered since 9th May. They automatically refunded me today. Take it I'm not getting it then.
I've also not received the dryer either. Ordered same day

Just ordered them both again..... Then realised the radiator seller is eurocarparts, who refunded me earlier 🤦‍♂️

 

[d19wood]

Bummer. I noticed I still had an order for a part outstanding with them since last May 🙄, don't think I'll be seeing it 🤣

 

[Louis]

Nice one matey - did you get them the air con rad at £16?

Yeah! I had them on my watch list. No idea if theyll arrive, I'm still waiting on some balljoints I ordered from ECP over a month ago!

Fingers crossed! The dryer was from a different seller though

 

[mossyv6]

Mine came with 48 hours mate and that was during “Covid everything takes a week longer”.

My dryer was from a different seller too. I've ordered the one linked above now and raised a claim with PayPal for the other one.
Which seller did you get yours from?

Sorry @mossyv6 ill clear all the s**t out afterwards lol

Same as linked above. @mossyv6 how did you drain the existing refrigerant? Obviously the legal way, so pm me if youd prefer.

Both posted @Old Tarby!

Both posted @Old Tarby!

Yeah mine too👍

 

[mossyv6]

One less Alien Green 200 on the road.
RIP HV09 YFW:

 

[RustyMojo]

Oh no what happens?

 

[RacingBeaut]

No way

 

[Ben]

I hope you and all the family are OK Paul.

 

[Stefan.]

I hope you and all the family are OK Paul.

Sure he sold the ag, so maybe pics from the new owner?

 

[Krarl]

Easily repairable that, worth saving

 

[frayz]

Looks like its already being robbed for bits. Rear wing and bonnet emblem gone.

Hopefully mate!

He sold it in February👍. Shame to see one with such history destroyed. He should have stayed home!

 

[mossyv6]

Yes sold it in February, new owner sent me the photos and everybody okay.

Yes it should have Paul but project finished and time for a new one.

 

[Steve]

I get it, so you enjoy the restoration, once finished you sell & find a new project?

Yes correct matey - it’s a hobbie/obsession. I normally have a project car that I save and then the stable crew that I keep. Meggy Trophy is my current project with the GT and V6 as lifers. Trophy 182 is sitting on the fence at the moment.

 

[mossyv6]

225 Trophy

Bodywork tidy up time!

Before
A few dents, scratches and cracks:

Car PDR’d and paint rear bumper, rear passenger quarter and blend into the door:

Much better 👍

 

[mossyv6]

225 Trophy

Not really been a great fan of the carbon interior trim so sourced a second hand set and refurbed in Nimbus. Originals have been safely removed and stored away.

Replacement set found but not the best condition:

Battered door pulls:

All rubbed down:

And painted:

Old v’s new:

And in:

 

[mossyv6]

225 Trophy

Also did the plaque trim as it was marked and sticky surface was a mess.

Rubbed down:

And painted:

Also painted the rear bumper trims in satin black:

 

[mossyv6]

182 Trophy

Tidied up the engine bay a bit as the plenum and engine tops needed a repaint.
Before:

During:

After:

 

[mossyv6]

Also refurbed my spare meggy bubs and fitted new lower swivel bearings:

 

[Clio_fool]

Great work Paul, the Meg is looking smart now.

 

[mossyv6]

Thanks Paul, it’s looking really nice now and proud of what I have done.
Could do we front bumper doing now as has a few stone chips but just waiting to hear about my job (still furloughed!).

Hopefully now some restrictions are lifting things will start to get going again and you'll be back at it 👍.
What's the plans with the Meg? Hanging onto it for a while or punting it on when you're happy with it? 225's seem to be worth bugger all as everyone wants an R26🙄.

Thanks Paul - had a call from my boss yesterday and I should be back in 2 weeks
As regards to the future of the 225 I’m not sure tbh, I have always wanted a 225 Trophy and Nimbus is such a nice and discreet colour. I had/have been toying with a 250 Trophy which would mean the 225 and the 182 Trophy would be for sale.

 

[mossyv6]

225 Trophy

Due to the rear being sprayed the lower clear guards had to be removed.

They are still available but not cheap at £17 each:

So I bought a section of Rhino clear and is really easy to use:

Cut new sections out:

Applied:

Also did the section in the boot that always get caught/scratched.
