Good job sorting out the oem rust, it's one upgrade that must be done!
Thanks mate, one down, one million to go

Funny you should say that, I always thought the opposite but the op has done a great job of capturing just how nice this colour is, I sometimes thought pics showed it off as a bit more of a gold tinge to the paintworkGreat post mate. NG is just SO photogenic!
And hats off to your Mrs helping you clean your car, she's a keeper!

Great updates, I've just read through it all.
I love Nimbus, it's such an underrated colour!
Good news on the rack though, finally. Personally, I'd always buy new parts, especially ones buried deep inside the car. No point in putting yourself through hell fitting things like that twice.
The car looks great Mark, I like the sunstrip! What car meet was it at Scarbados?
great to have some help to do the interior..find that boring
as above,really like your sunstrip..where did you get it from pls??
Epic update Mark. WHAT a story! My god mate hats off to you for not just chucking the towel in. So sorry to hear of all the troubles you've been having.
Could really feel the level of hope with the "any god and all gods" bit!
Fingers crossed it's all sorted now and there won't be any further mishaps.
Even more hopeful that you can get out for a run somewhere nice in the car over the bank holiday and enjoy the hell out of it.
And yep, those Mk2 cars are FUN!
I'm glad to see the back of the issues for sure! You're absolutely right, the hope is real haha, I'm praying that everyone that is making fun of the car saying "it'll be broke in a week" is completely wrong, mainly so I can laugh at them haha! Luckily for me I've got more than one day off, I work in education, so I'm pretty much always on holiday, lots of opportunity.
I treated the car to a clean the other day, that's as good as its got so far haha!
That is a long list of troubles you had there Mark, good on you for having the patience to stick with it and get everything sorted! The 172 sounds like it was a hell of a lot of fun!
Just a few I think if I didn't have kids already, I definitely would've set fire to the damn thing haha! Oh it was, usually I'm in a hurry to get my car back, on this occasion I wasn't, I was more saddened that I had to give the 172 back
Next mod a stripped out 172 then Mark?
VERY tempted to do this myself. Just splash a grand on a car I can pull to bits and drive like I stole it until it dies
Yes yes & yes! I'm hoping I'll have a new job by the end of the year, and if this happens, it's definitely going to be a purchase! Going to track it and drive it like I just don't care haha! I'm stealing your drive it like you stole it idea!
