Progress from today!

[tommy g]

I managed to fit my custom rear springs, pressed plates, 35mm spacers (each side), lower the front coilovers more and lamin x my fogs. Very happy with the results. Next on the hit list is to re-wire my new headlights and get the roof fitted asap. I hope you like?

Before..

After..

Davis88 was having his gearbox mount done..

My mates golf gti championship car.....

His main car, 1.8 sri corsa..

And a few of his projects..

And a few of him messing around..

They have a track car in progress at the moment which the person they got the car from said he had a problem filling petrol up. Somebody had put a wheel stud and locking cap down the filler neck and a stone but the weirdest thing was part of the release bearing on a clutch. So he removed the tank and KILLED IT WITH FIRE!!!

Crazy they may be, but talanted they are.

[tommy g]

Thanks for the comments!

Tigger, yes he was admiring the work but also himself :rasp:

 

[DB.]

When is it getting a respray btw mate? One of my fave 172s without the respray hehe

 

[Firas]

should look awsome when finished mate.

 

[tommy g]

Cheers Dave but its a rep

Might be a while for the respray yet ive still got the custom flared/fabricated rear arches, fuel cap relocation, rear bumper trim recess smoothed, drivers door handle and lock smoothed before i can get it sprayed. probs looking st the end of the year tbh.
My aim for french car show is to get the door popper finished and finish the door off and do the rear bumper. Im having the roof panel fitted start of april.

Cheers Firas!

nah bad laddy, sport subframe and wishbones will make it wider at the front

Ph1 looks good apart from the awful headlights. It looks like a mong.

if you would keep up, he has new ph1 optics to be rewired though...

 

[Christopher]

Sack reading the whole thread

 

[AlexG]

Doesnt look very wide even with the spacers.

What offset are the wheels?

 

[tommy g]

I do f*ing hate those headlights. heres a pic with the new optics i have but just need re-wiring....

Im going to price up the 172 setup for the front and that will hopefully give me the wideness im after

Not sure what the ofset is tbh alex
