Project Mint Ph1. Near complete pics. Ph1 fans, Hi.

[Budgie]

Have had a few people asking me for pictures of the Minter Ph1 that I've been putting together. I hate to think of how much time (and money) I've put into this, but the results speak for themselves I think. Very proud of this one.

Work that's been done over the course of the last few months:

New Aux Belt kit
Brand new Cat Back OEM exhaust
All new exhaust mounts and cat fitting kit
Wheels refurbed in extra shiny silver
New Michelin Ps3's all round
Fitted some near new front discs and pads I had.
Full service, oil and filter, air filter, pollen filter, coolant swap.
Air con been re-gassed.
Snappy Refurbed steering wheel using leather from the rear bench to ensure total match.

The car only has 32k miles on, so thought it was worth the effort put in and I have to say I'm pretty pleased with the results.

Oh, and I spent today giving it a bit of a clean. For the detailing geeks, products used:

AF Citrus Power
Dodo Born to be Mild.
AF Tripple
Dodo Supernatural.
AF revive.

And tucked up back on the driveway with a couple of pics of the stripped out black one.

Few little bits left to sort- need to fit the centre caps, and a couple of little bits and it'll be done!

MOT next weekend, will be taxed and hey presto! Back where it belongs!

Oh yeah, and I know my pics are s**t. Those of you who know me will have seen the state of my phone.

 

[JackD]

Looks very nice mate! Minty fresh. Surprised that phone can still take pictures

 

[Jack!]

Wow.

 

[The Russian.]

Great effort mate.

Give the headlights a good going over and will make the front end look loads better.

Edit: the marks on the lenses are discolouration from water getting inside the casing.

 

[Mr R.]

Cracking work Mike, great to see another low mileage PH1 on the forum.

However it needs PH1 interior door handles rather than the PH2 ones it looks to have been fitted??

Id say that the front bumper has been painted as its missing the black vinyl deckles. Get a new set made or buy from Renault.

Any engine bay picts mate?

 

[couzens]

Do you need someone to take decent pics?

 

[Budgie]

Cheers chaps...

LOL! I was waiting for you to show up and notice a few things.

Ph1 door handles are going to be swapped over from the stripped out one, yeah. The blue fits in a lot better I think.

Yep, front bumper has been repainted at some point to keep it fresh. You got pics of the black bits missing from yours by any chance?

 

[Budgie]

How will you get here, Bobby no car?!

 

[couzens]

How will you get here, Bobby no car?!

You'll pick me up in it. OBVS.

 

[Cub.]

Ph1 is lovely but you're a dick. X

I can give Ryan a lift as it means photos of the flamer too

 

[Paul.M]

That looks fantastic!

 

[Connor19]

Looks awesome, very clean Ph1! Ph1's with that mileage must be getting very hard to find!

 

[Mr R.]

I was going to say mate, i have a pair of PH1 handles that i would have sent you for free.

The ones i have are the later ones without the counter sunk fixing, but if you are sorted then thats good.

Here you go.

6 bits in total, 4 in the area of the towing eye hole and two to the side of each upper fixing bolt.

 

[JackD]

Surely that's worthy of a new banner picture?

 

[Budgie]

Lowest form of wit, Jack.

 

[couzens]

Hahaha!

 

[yeecup]

Nice, but needs eibachs or cooksports they look w**k on standard ride height

 

[Coops Mk1]

wheres the f**king centre caps????

looks okay for a mk2 I guess

 

[Nick172Cup]

Great skills with a potato mate.

 

[Cub.]

Great skills with a potato mate.

Lol.
Budgie - I have some guacamole left that would go nicely with a potato.

 

[Scrooge]

Looks awesome from what I can see!

Although get done proper pictures done to give it justice the ones about looks like a 3 year old has coloured in some etch-a-sketch drawings!

 

[Bluebeard]

I can offer nothing else other than what's already been said;

Needs black inserts on bumper, needs centre caps, needs the speedo window removing and polishing, and your pictures are utterly dreadful.

Car looks a credit to you sir, well done.

 

[AdamDoug]

Looking good!
love that black one would love to own that thing!!!

 

[Budgie]

You had enough guacamole to start a worldwide avocado shortage pal!

 

[Rob]

PMSL at the pictures. Awesome effort.

Car looks great though, I think.. X

 

[LiamR172]

Same as everyone else. Good photos would do it nore justice but even from your shite ones it still looks mint!

Has anyone got a lower milage than this on here? Could be one to store away!

Looking like it might have to go up for sale at some point tbh. Missus is on a mad one at the minute about me buying a house. Fleet will be up for sale. ):

 

[Poopensharten]

That is exceptional bird man x

 

[Alan]

Peach, fair play for throwing all that money at it too.

 

[Budgie]

So, Nick172Cup can take pictures better than I can.

Interior ones have come out lovely:

Flew through it's MOT, so a for sale advert will be written up this week. Really hoping it stays on the forum.

 

[couzens]

Need to tone the brightness down, or take pics in the shade. Looks wicked though you two.

 

[Christopher.]

That's lovely Mike well done

 

[Chi]

All that work and you're selling it?

 

[Budgie]

All that work and you're selling it?

Missus has put her foot down.

That and the E30 to be advertised pretty soon.

 

[Sir_Dave]

So, @Nick172Cup can take pictures better than I can.

And yet neither of you have any tyre shine :dapprove:

 

[Budgie]

And yet neither of you have any tyre shine :dapprove:

Tyre shine on a brand new tyre?

Not yet!

 

[Timmsy]
