As it stands that is really nice!
well done on doing all the work youself too, deffo needs the dual optics i think.
not sure i like the idea of the roof being gloss black but still a very nice car.
:approve:

172 2.0 engine conversion

Erm, no they havent. If your reffering to the bit at the front, thats where the "Grande" badge used to go, i did orignally have them smooth, but i took off the filler a had another idea, then never got round to smoothing it before wrapping them.

decided on making my own oil catch tank seen as i was bored. Ordered a mini filter to go on the front to finish it off. Pics:

dont really like the positioning either, but until i get a bracket for it to sit near the power steering reseviour, its staying there.
(yes, its a metal drinks bottle haha)

BUMPED! Great project mate, you have worked hard and it has payed off!! Just quote something you have said '2.0 Conversion', there is no real point, just get a real sport in a few years!

I know its something ive been thinking about, its gonna cost about the same to convert to buy a sport, but with insurance engine change declared, its like 1.5k cheaper to insure mine for the year.

filter came in post so was fitted on. Relocated the oil can. But still unsure on its position, any advice?

 

[stephen chadwick]

upright would be allot better

i know i spent a hour trying to get a good place and making brackets, but that seemed only place that fit ok.

So i got 4 days off and thought what could i do. So buying 4 litres of body filler 10m2 of fibre glass and resin will occupie me

starting on rear bumper getting the plastic inser smoothed over. followed by boot, side indicators arial, de wipered and to adapt the front bimper with the 182 bumper mesh. pics to be up soon

Bumper after body filler and partial primer. Now has been painted and waiting to be laquered

 

[laberridge]

after 2nd layer of paint. Slightly wobly when looked at the side on angle but hard to spot face on. Dont think its a to bad job for myself

 

[laberridge]

Bumper fitted, Happy With the finish.
