Storm grey 172/182 nearly finished...

[Martin_172]

finish on that rear beam looks good! is it powdercoated?

 

[Slammed172]

That steering wheel is epic !

 

[Camerooon]

Nice! What are the specs of those front tyres and where are the wheels from? At some point I'm after some smaller tyres for the winter so i don't scratch my turinis!
Ta.

I know what you mean about the cars is that big old Merc still sitting next to it in the picture?

Ha! Hi jeff. I hope the car is doing you proud? The merc is still there, still not been touched! He's filled up two more spaces with a 1970's defender and a 1970's Scimitar. God knows what for.

Its been painted using 2 pack. Rover Red, same as the cage.

I've always had it in the back of my head for a storm grey PH2 or PH1! fair play can't wait to see it finished!

 

[Hixle]

Properly f**king cool. Is this Sam's as in the bloke that camped at CSS?

 

[batesey]

Looks awesome mate! the grey and red work so well!

Spanish Sam, yes mate.

 

[LewisTaylor]

Looks really good, what throttle bodies are they?

 

[Bluebeard]

I'm not sure I can say tbh!

They were designed by a very well respected man on here!

 

[Tony Hunter]

:quiet:

There can't be much room in there now then! Yeah it's been great thanks, not missed a beat, had the tracking done as potholes were taking their toll, and changed the tyres to PE3s (one of which had a nail in last week which I had to replace), but obviously of no fault of the car!

 

[Scrooge]

Spanish Sam, yes mate.

As in Bison boy?

 

[Silent_Scone]

.......NICE

 

[JackJack]

This is epic!

 

[LiamR172]

Only if these sort of colours came as standard on the 1*2s..

Car will be mean when its finished!!

 

[Bluebeard]

Oh my.

I think this thing looks a little bit epic....

(magnesium speedlines from a race car. A bit battle scarred but will be refurbed)

 

[Austin-182]

This thread pisses me off because each time im itching to see more! Please take 100 pictures, it looks unreal, i wish mine was this colour!

 

[Bluebeard]

Mate, you need to see it in the flesh.

Every single nut and bolt has been thought about. I think he's got a bit of autism, he's that fussy!

 

[Adamm.]

Will this be at CSS? Looks awesome.

 

[Austin-182]

it really does look amazing! how much would it cost do you think for a 182 to be sprayed like this?

 

[Sam]

Cant believe i didnt see this. Looks a good build.

 

[Ricardos]

What an awesome colour, suits the Clio well... Wow

 

[Bluebeard]

Will this be at CSS? Looks awesome.

Thats his aim. He never took a car last year (he had to passenger in the ratvan RIP) so wants to make it there this year. Sadly it will be on a trailer though as it won't be road leagal.

 

[Adamm.]

Sweet storm grey looks so much better in person so I cant wait to see it there.

 

[Cerrone]

Amazing! I love storm Gray! Best colour ever IMO

 

[Bluebeard]

Popped down today to pick a car up and he's been a busy boy again today!

 

[Bluebeard]

 

[Nick172Cup]

Jesus you cant even start to imagine how jealous I am of this car! Perfect colour combo and looks like it'll be driven properly!

 

[Jaff.]

Awesome tbh!

Although I can't help but think the effort he's gone through to make it all look perfect then he has those shitty old coolant hoses on it. I'm assuming they're temporary?

Yes, they're only in there until he's worked out whats going where.

Pointless buying samco's and then having to chop them about.

All looks like its in the standard place to me...

Nevertheless glad he's thought it through look forward to seeing the end result. I love this autistic/OCD attention to detail certain people have

 

[Silent_Scone]

massive attention to detail

 

[Russ_16v]

Looks lovely, would love to come have a nosey

 

[DaveDreads]

That's looking like it'll be a right weapon. :evil:

 

[Cerrone]

Any more pics/news on this!? So keen!!

 

[Hixle]

Brilliant.

Not sure if you've said Dan, is this going to be road legal?

 

[SWJames]

^^^^^^^^

[not normal dan]

Just browsed through the while thread, looks great an the contrast of colours is good. Really good to see some one taking there time an putting alot of effort in no doubt. The attention is flawless. Keep it up.

 

[TimR26]

Looks fantastic.
