Another dose of Liquid Yellow...

[FunkyMunky]

Well, after chopping and changing cars a fair bit in the last 3 years, I have ended up pretty much where I began!

182 Trophy to an R27 (via a PH1 172 as an interim car) onto a Golf Anniversary, before seeing sense and getting back into something fun in the form of an S2000 and then into a Cooper S. Commuting by train now means I no longer need a car for everyday use to I've banked some money and gone back to what I know in the form of a 182.

Picked up 2 weeks ago from Steve@R-Sport Cars with a mere 27k on the clock and one previous owner and a lot of history! In that short time i've racked up a few miles and added a couple of nice additions to it too

Enough chit chat, a few piccies I got today after finally managing to clean it yesterday!

Looking good, Steve was after my wheels before I put them back on my 182 when I chopped it in. Never tire of seeing Liquid yellow and that is a clean example.

Lovely motor, Mr Munky.

Are you the fella that removed all the stickers off your R27? If so, any tips?

 

[FunkyMunky]

Thanks

Yes indeed i did... Hairdryer for the stickers... start in the corner and then work all the way along the sticker and back to where you began... it's only a matter of warming up the glue.

However, i did mine on the day i got it and the car had only been in the country a week or so... so the stickers were fresh and came off very easily and didn't leave any residue or discolouration which i'd expect you'd get a little bit of now

Love it! I have thought about getting a 182 in LY and selling my 197

 

[Arran]

I love those wheels! Those seats are amazing too! The car has a great stance now it's on the coilovers. Good idea with the steering wheel as well!

 

[jase]

Where did you get the wheel from gareth as mine is suffering with the dreaded melt.

 

[rg197r27]

is the steering wheel new if so how much was it.
rich

 

[richandgem]

What coilies did you go for?

And another LY with Turini's, might have to go for sumin else

looks great

 

[FunkyMunky]

wheel was bought via ebay.. chap selling them had two and we did a deal outside of ebay.. will look up his details as he was a really sound chap. basically operates as a breaker

ktec coily's Rich... want a set of H&R's but yet to find some at decent money so these will get the look until i can find something else... that said they seem very good so far!

I might have another set of wheels to appear - when i originally bought a set of trophy wheels no-one had them on a LY on the forums... but the guy i bought from didn't send the wheels... by the time i got a set a few others had done the same!
