Petrol blue 182..

[Jhpetrolblue]

Hello, new to the forum… thought I’d show my face and say hello!

I own a 2004 (54) petrol blue 182, had it for 6 years but only used it for maybe 2.. 🤣

over the years I’ve carried out an awful amount of work on it and recently being a fresh engine build and gearbox build. (Waiting for the engine to come back!)

it’s had a full repaint
All new shocks
All new bushes
Track rod ends
Lower ball joints
Discs n pads
Front calliper rebuild
Everything front end powder coated including everything on the engine.
Full gearbox refresh and rebuild
Brand new clutch
Full cambelt kit ect

engine is currently being built, full bottom end rebuild + cylinder head just been done with 16 new valves and seals!

buzzing to have it back out and finally get to a meet!!

Very nice, can't imagine how much a full respray must've cost with PB being a pearl paint. Looks a great example, how many miles is it on?

Wow, that is bloody lovely!!

Wow that is lovely, I don't understand why people don't like petrol blue!

Awesome! Repainted colour looks spot on too.

It’s not pearl mate, just a metallic!

Thanks man, the guy who painted it is one of the best in the area 🙌

Ah my apologies, not many PB's around to know! Still can't have been cheap though

Petrol blue was a pearl.

Petrol blue was a pearl.

It certainly wasn’t, I’ve just had it painted 😂

may look it but it’s just an awesome Metallic. Liquid yellow was pearlescent 👊

Haha I know man, many think it’s a Pearl but it isn’t. It’s not a cheap job to most, but I’m a detailer who worked alongside the body shop that painted it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 so it certainly was cheap!
