Storm grey 172/182 nearly finished...

[Russ_16v]

Dan really isn't bigging it up either, in the metal it is stunning - Sam really has gone to town on it and all the little touches he has done are amazing

 

[Mr R.]

Any up dates on this mate???

 

[Bluebeard]

Yeah it's had a bit done mate but due to the ramp going in, my car(s) going in and his Aston coming back, the clio has been put in the corner so I can't take any pics unfortunately.

 

[Mr R.]

Ill be keeping an eye on this.

Aston. Sam has an Aston?

 

[Bluebeard]

Aston. Sam has an Aston?

Yeah, 1970's DBS with a 8.4 litre American crate engine. Got line lock, AP racing brakes, 20's... It's fcuking badass!!

I've got some pics hold on...

 

[Cub.]

Jeebus. What a hero! Post them up! You two clowns best be coming on the 22nd. All of the Essicks crew are making the effort

 

[Rob]

WTAF. Just when you think you know someone, the carrot cruncher pulls an Aston out the bag?

 

[Bluebeard]

I doubt I'll be there mate. I'm pretty s**t company at the minute so you won't miss me.

So yeah, the Aston. His dad bought it when he was 18 and he's 50-odd now so a long time. They've been re-building it for 13 years. Sam completely bare shelled it and painted it Aston grey. The paint is utterly flawless. He made the exhaust himself, it sounds like nothing you've ever heard before!

He's got a fiesta mk1 supersport too.

 

[Cub.]

Aston looks fapping awesome! Great work (except it needs wire wheels ).

Well, if you need some cheering up old fruit, you know where we are

 

[Gally]

That Aston is epitome of epic but why did he choose chrome rims from a bad fast and furious film?

Needs some wires or something!

 

[Bluebeard]

Thanks matey.

Yeah the wheels were fashionable when they bought them (10+ years ago!) but they'll be changing them before it goes on the road.

8.4 litre, 560bhp, and zero road tax too.

 

[McGherkin]

Lol at the line lock. Only one thing that's for. And that thing is to be videoed and posted on here.

I agree with this. Bye bye rear tyres

 

[Bluebeard]

Let's be honest, it won't need it.

His 560sec can light up the rears on the spot with ease. And that weighs about 2 tonne and isn't that powerful.c

 

[aucky]

I'll be honest, those wheels are f**king horrendous, but car itself is a thing of beauty!

 

[Bluebeard]

Thought we'd drive out (drive!!) the Clio and wash it seeing as we had already washed 8 cars this afternoon.

Took a chance to grab some pics...

 

[Bluebeard]

And this is what £1000's worth of stack dials look like...

 

[Bluebeard]

Still got a days worth of wiring to sort and tidy up.

Then it's going for alignment.

Then it's going for mapping.

Then we can start on mine....

 

[Inferno Jamie]

I'll be honest, those wheels are f**king horrendous, but car itself is a thing of beauty!

I don't think they are that bad, the cut rear bumper and exhaust though...not my taste

He's talking about the Aston a page back.

 

[Paul172sport]

That's looking stunning.

I remember you guys saying it would be nice but that's cracking. The Aston is a monster too.

Hopefully get to see you both again and the Clio one day

 

[McGherkin]

Fcuk me, it can actually move? I thought it was built into the unit.

Looks epic.

 

[Bluebeard]

Yeah it starts and runs but the ECU was mapped for a mk1 1.8 turbo so it's over fuelling like a b**ch. I've got a video of smoke bangs and flames but I've no idea how to upload it to here.

 

[Mr Plums]

Love the colour but not keen on the exhaust.

Message/email/facebook it to me.

 

[Mr Plums]

Is is going to have a diffuser fitted?

 

[Bluebeard]

Is is going to have a diffuser fitted?

No.

The exhaust is sat a bit low at the minute as it's not bolted up properly. It's a taste thing, I personally love it.

Let's not forget, this is not a road car and never will be.

 

[DaveDreads]

I thought you'd sold this thing, nice to see it coming along mate.

 

[Paul.M]

That looks awesome, really nice work.

 

[McGherkin]

Hoping it's working. Having network issues here but the file was alright when it was uploaded.

 

[Bluebeard]

I thought you'd sold this thing, nice to see it coming along mate.

Eh?! Why did you think that?

 

[DaveDreads]

Eh?! Why did you think that?

I'm sure you mentioned getting rid of it when you went on your selling frenzy,
also I thought you lost the workshop space?

I take it it's in Sams garage?

This confirms that you listen to NOTHING I tell you.

 

[DaveDreads]

What?

I listen, I just don't remember.

 

[Fletcher]

Great colour. The rear bumper makes me sad though

 

[Cub.]

It's epic, but I'm not a fan of the bumper either I am afraid.

Exciting that it's going to be on the road, finally

 

[JP83]

Proper chuckled at the video at the end.

Also, is that yours and Sam's "Special" bus in the background in the pics Daniel?

Yes mate. I'm piling the miles on it so it needed to come off the road.

 

[JP83]

I was talking about the big red one.
