[SBV116]

Black and white look mint! :

 

[Mish]

This is exactly what plans I had for mine (eventually) when I get it in a few weeks. You have taste hehe!

The finish on that paint looks second to none. Every credit on this project- it's going to be amazing when it's done

 

[medici999]

is it pearl white that was used? if not exactly what kind of white paint was used?
cheers

 

[Christopher]

he said earlier on in the thread fella, have a look back

 

[medici999]

so he did, cheers chris.

Opel/Vauxhall Casablanca White, there's about 5 different variations of it but all of them have either a blue or yellow tint except one which is the one I went for

Because i'm going for white wheels I needed a white white paint without a hint of another colour as it would look daft

 

[medici999]

ah ok. so the figure just shy of 1k included everything, bumpers, strips, mirrors? i just been quoted 700 for pearlescent white. cheers

whens the next update bud ? tomorow ?

 

[Rich_16v]

I personally wouldn't consider painting a black car white

I purposely bought this 172 in silver with the intention to paint it white from the outset

Bodyshops vary alot in price, i'd be more worried about getting a guaranteed quality finish than the price, you need somewhere with a spot on reputation

[DH_GTI]

very nice car get some more pics up !!!!

 

[Rich_16v]

The doors, boot and bonnet are back on along with the skirts

There's no locks or rubber seals in yet so the doors won't hold shut but you get the idea from the pics below

Its a bit 'fridge' like that'll soon change once the black bits get fitted

The glass is getting bonded back in tomorrow

I've got a recovery truck booked for thursday afternoon to bring her home then the rebuild starts... can't wait!

 

[Gumby]

That looks pretty damn smart mate!

 

[leighk18]

i would of gone for smoked repetors if your going for the black bits but looks very nice mate is it getting caged and buckets in?

 

[Rich_16v]

Can't be bothered with buckets etc, I do about 100 miles a days so i'm keeping the comforts

 

[leighk18]

fair play then mate

 

[-KarL-]

nice !

 

[ChrisPearson]

[Millsy]

get it rebuilt asap, cant wait to drool over this at FCS, absolute car p**n!!

 

[tommyboy]

If I was you I'd drive the recovery truck just to be uber safe that it gets home all ok.

Can't wait to see this finished, good work Rich!

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

fcuking hero, about time someone did this.

i'd love to but just can't afford it!

i haven't got the chance to run through all the posts, what parts are you fitting to her? suspension, exhaust etc?

 

[dannyboy172]
