RB 182 restoration

Looks good boys

Put some on and you can just take them off if you don't like it.

Keep up the good effort with the car as well, sounds like a bargain.

Wheels are going to start getting refurbed this weekend too.

I got that when mine went for belts too. The truth hurts sometimes!

Looking good so far!

 

[Lawro]

Looks great! I have some bumper insert decals you can have if you like mate.

Thanks, I have some decals, Just forgot to put them on...

I have bumper OCD with the black bits so had to buy them! lol.

 

[Harpham]

Looks a really good colour match.

Get them bumper stickers on .

 

[sbridgey]

The stickers will be going straight on next time I see it!

 

[Coops Mk1]

good work, if I supply a bumper, fancy spraying one up for my RB?

 

[sbridgey]

So today was the day I had been dreading. The cambelt change. I took it to Mick@Diamond in the end and was pleasantly surprised how well it went and how many little issues Mick fixed along the way.

Got straight onto it.

Quickly found a bit of a problem with the previous belt change... The exhaust timing was massively advanced.

No way you are going to get the horse shoe in there!

And the source of the crazy bad oil leak!! (dephaser oil seal thingy I think its called)

Got it all back together and she is running really, really well. Couldn't believe the difference.

Thats it for now, just a few other small jobs and we will be done!

 

[Coops Mk1]

mick = leg to the end

 

[sbridgey]

Too right!! Forgot to reply before, should be able to spray a bumper for if you still want it. Pm me.

 

[sbridgey]

Also refurbed all 4 wheels, and managed to get an exact match to the centre caps which I am really pleased with.

Coming along nicely this mate. :approve:

 

[sbridgey]

Cleaned it and clayed it for the first time today. It look so much better for it.

 

[Canary172]

This has come along tremendously well! And it's nice to know that there are people out there who are willing to save rather than scrap cars. Great work!

Good work mate. I finished one of mine about two weeks ago. It's a great feeling knowing that they're all up together.

Now got to finish this one... (We only fixed it today, I bought it in March I think! lol)

What the f***s going on there?

 

[Bluebeard]

Grief.

But I don't mind it because it's a clio. I love Clios. It's like a disorder.

Haha :L I can't even think of a reason to take the dashboard out like that!

Thanks everyone, it means a lot.

And Daniel, what the hell have you done to that poor 182? Looks like a jigsaw to put back together again!

Wow. This is my car now, I've had it around 5 months now and it's been faultless. Amazing to see it here like this! Bought it off a bloke in Essex.

Just rolled over 130k last weekend. Pulls really well! I love it!

 

[sbridgey]

Really glad to see it's still going strong!
