First time out of the garage this year!

[Russ Rallye]

The ph1 saw daylight for the first time in a while last weekend, excuse the dust, left the cover off it and ive been having a new kitchen fitted so the whole house and garage is covered in dust!

Also before it goes for its mot i've been trying tospruce up the interior, fitted some ph2 interior handles i had spare (silver) and had the dor pulls and centre console painted in Iceberg silver to nmatch the exterior as a bit of a nod to the ph2 ID option. Had the side pods redone too. Heres the bits all painted up.

Next job is to have the steering wheel done by 'snappy' he did a one for my ph1 172 a couple of months back and i was mega impressed, to be fair if you're an ex-Bently trimmer you're work isnt going to be shabby is it! It'll be identical to my 172 one like this.

Lastly, just a shot of it with my 172 last year before i sold it.

Will hopefully have some more pics when i get it mot'd and tax'd and all the interior finished.

Great pics Russ and hopefully we will enjoy some more of this awesome weather too. Gonna read your race car thread later too. Cheers for posting up

Yeah hopefully Matt, a dry summer this year would be great, although living in Cumbria if it doesn't snow in the summer its a good summer!

Looks great Russ. What's your plans for the car now? Is it a keeper?

Mine is still SORN and needs MOT'd and a cambelt arrrghhhhh

 

[Russ Rallye]

Not sure yet Col, I'll see after its mot'd etc whether I keep hold of it or not.

I like what you have done with the centre console, looks great.

I'm torn which way to go with my car, I have a std Mars Red PH1, with silver pods. 50% of me wants to put the pods back to red, and keep the car OEM. The other 50% of me is wanting to have PH2 rear lights, keep the pods silver, and get the centre console body colour too. Theres also a small part of me that keeps wondering what the pods and centre console would look like carbon wrapped.......

Couple of minor bits this week, got a front storage tray fixing kit from speedy fasteners with some forum discount, looks good just need to get it fitted.

Also forgot to say I got some tool box straps from Iain (EEE007) much appreciated Iain, they're definitely an improvement.

Steering has gone to Andy (snappy) to be trimmed too.

A pic of the iceberg pulls and ph2 handles fitted.

Got nearly all of jobs done on her now. Mostly cosmetic bits, fitted the speedy fasteners storage tray fixings a while ago. Also got my wheel back from snappy so that's on too.

New number plate light fitted as the other was yellow

Thought the front end needed a tidy up too so fitted brand new front fogs and painted the surrounds

Also fitted a fabia splitter as mine was missing.
Put it back on its wheels tonight for the first time in ages. I've been undersealing all the arches, sills and floor area and repainting the calipers back to oe black (previously silver).

Threw a bucket of water over it tonight as it was dusty, that and some tire shine make it look a whole lot better.

Its ready for its mot now, hopefully get it done this week or next, had a run up the road in it tonight and everything seems fine, no resin she won't sail straight through.

Is the centre console the same colour as standard?

 

[Ali]

Lovely! 24hrs until I get mine back! Excited!

 

[Duncan]

lovely stuff, cars looking great. :approve:

 

[Russ Rallye]

Brembo, centre console is now the iceburg silver the same as the exterior, I think standard they're just a generic silver the sane as the door pulls/dash.

It's passed! Hopefully the weather is nice at the weekend and I'll have a run out and get some decent pics.
