The PH-eminine revolution

[John185k]

OK, onto my third 172 and even tho this is my favourite one of the three I am already bored after 4 months - not like me eh?!!

So over the past 6 weeks I have been gathering bits together from here and ebay etc... it prob wont be finished till the second week of January as thats when I have some annual leave however the plan is drafted and completed. The idea is to make it a bit harder, both to look at and to drive.

I wont give much away however will all I will say is there is a glimmer of sunflower in there...

Anyway a few final pics of how it is now..

I will keep this updated over the next 10 weeks, hopefully resulting in something a tad different to the norm.

In fact, will let you all in to 'the plan.'

The car will look like the one below however with white wheels and a not so stripped interior... This WILL be my daily driver, and probably in a years time be a dedicated track/show car.

Graphics have been made, the bumpers and skirts are going to be sunflower and coilovers are being researched at the moment.

In ya face!

 

[Jay]

Looks mint!

[GarethM]

[Ali]

Hate the plans as it's perfection at the mo! Sorry sir! By all means get the rims and deck it, but don't put different coloured bumpers on it!

 

[John185k]

lol, we will see son. It will be done in phases with all mods reversable, will see what the consensus is then...

 

[Ali]

DOn't think the ph1's suit the 2020's either....But gi it a bash, nae harm in tryin!

 

[John185k]

im putting 2118's on son, will see if it works.

Will look like this roughly when done...

Yeh, the mags are significantly lighter...Significantly more expensive too.

Nope, threw out a set of 172 shocks y'day...

Love the cups, with 20182's...But the problem is you have to lower the car to the point of breakin the driveshafts!...Been there done that! Had so many problems!

 

[John185k]

yeh, will need to strike a balance between practicality and looks.

Its a bit of a project, cant afford a new car with hopefully buyin a second property.

i think you will be pleasetly suprised.

 

[rory182]
