My cheap(ish) 172 Cup

You can see the road rash. Still need to protect the rear jacking points.

New tyres fitted. I was going to do this last autumn but there was a lot of tread left on them. However, with tyres being THE most important thing on a car it was long overdue. They look much better, too.View attachment 1748506View attachment 1748507
Nice! I had the Uniroyals on my 172 for about a year and a half and recently switched to PS5s. I noticed a bit of a "floating" sensation on b roads at speed with the Uniroyals, perhaps due to softer sidewalls. It definitely went away after switching to PS5s. Mine were 205/45/R16 load index 83 though. Good value for money for sure.

Another Saturday free so a chance to do a bit more....

I have the choice of sanding and polishing the headlights again to a better finish, removing the front bumper to align the n/s headlight correctly with the bonnet or try and replace my dog bone which I think is shagged. The dog bone should be the first job but I'm not sure how easy it will be even if the car is jacked at the front onto axle stands. I'm not sure I can get it high enough to work under it and I don't have a long bar to crack the nuts, only a standard socket set. It was off a few months ago if if torqued up I may not be able to shift it.

Decisions, decisions....
