[Sheilas’ Wheels]

Just towed it up to my mates to get wiring and plumbing done. Everything else is in.

Then its off for a repaint, new seats/harnesses, and got some new wheels for it too

(excuse pic, taken on my phone....)

What Valver parts did you keep in the end? And what went 172?

Engine, gearbox, brakes, hubs, arms, driveshafts, ECU (decoded), rad, alternator is all 172.

Williams subframe with Williams steering rack converted by a proper rack company & is now manual.

Going to order some new williams coilovers as the valver ones are pisch.

I think thats about it mate.

it does exist!

Ahem

Just a note about manual steering.

I was talking to a guy about removing the power steering on my Hybrid and they strongly advised against it, saying that if you start tank slapping at 80mph, a car with PAS will be a lot easier to control than a car without. The car without needing arms like incredible hulk to control it should it all go a bit wrong. Also with no PAS, the 'snatch' will be very violent, possibly breaking your thumbs! lol!

I'm no mechanic nor a driving guru, but just my 2p's worth.

For your info, i'm no Hulk and I can steer at 80!

Held together with cable ties and gaffer tape IIRC

[Matteh]

mines still the only one to have PAS \o/

I'm still laughing at you managing to lose the van PMSL.

Anyway nice to see you finally making progress on this one. Give me a shout if you decide to off load the F1s.
