Hello folks been on here a couple of months now and have owned my 197 cuo for two months now so thought id start my progress thread.
I used to own a phase 2 172 in iceberg silver which was striped out had a rear cage cobra imola seats 2118 alloys and a few other bits and bobs so it was pritty much a track ready car.
I purchased the car at the end of january its got full service mistory 56k on the clock and is quite a clean car. Before picking the car up i had the sidestrips and mirrors colour coded white to clean it up abit. Door handles have still to get done along with the rear difuser going gloss black and the alloys getting a refurb.
Last week i purchased h&r 30/40 springs and got set about fitting them today. Rear springs were easy took about 20 mins to fit due to bolts being abit rusty so we then moved onto the front pas side and it was a ballache the bolt holding the strut into the hub took ages to cum out loads of wd40 and a snap on gun and it cam out after a good hour or so. Went and got dinner for the boys helping and set about the driver side. Its even worse than the other. Decided to leave it till tomorow night amd try again. Anyone have any techniques we can try that would make it easier? Heres a few pics fron today
Will get back tomorow night hopefully with four springs on instead of three.
