Dr Jekyll's BG182 Project Thread

[Bobby.]

Well that didn't take long, well done mate. Staying within the forum?

 

[Jekyll]

Of course I'm staying!! I don't have real friends lol

Im looking at ph1s. I see that one dan, but my choices are to have silver or flame red. No other colours. Not really bothered what silver though.

 

[dmallett]

Its a right shed tbh, i just want to see someone save it! Mark you know it makes sense to go for the flame red, everyone loves them, they look amazing when cleaned and they are the best colour ph1. Silver ones are just s**t in comparison. Though the flamer's are abit hard to come by unless your in scotland.

 

[Jekyll]

Haha does seem that way mate! The djw boys seem to have them all. I just really like the look of them in silver too. Looks clean

 

[Paul182]

wow that was quick mark .. the bg was stunning but im sure you will make the ph1 just as good .

Oh Hai

 

[Christopher.]

You can have my Ph1 Mark

 

[Jekyll]

Thanks for all positive comments guys. It's been a good car to own with only little problems over the near 3 years I've owned it. It's been a nice car to work on and it is going to a good home.

Bobby, you cheeky bugger lol. Your answer is the post below yours

I shall wait untill I hand over keys before I start searching Chris so I shall let you know.

 

[guysy]

Will look forward to see the next cars progress

Took it down the garage today to get the knocking looked at. After having it up in the air they found no faults and after lowering it down its not done it since :S Very strange! I've contacted the buyer and have kept him updated with all news. The mechanic said that its nothing to worry about as everything is tight and how it should be and couldn't find a fault.

Bonnet alarm sensor has been ordered today so I'll fit that once it arrives. Looking for a passenger front inner arch liner to replace my broken one, from wen it was on coilovers. Have pm'd a member on here so awaits he's reply.

Deposit has been taken now so I shall clean it in the next few days so its all ready for the new owner

 

[welshname]

Sounds like a poorly seated spring to me.

Has it only done it since the coilovers have been off?

 

[Jekyll]

Not sure what it could be. Whatever it is, it seems minimal. I'm happy that everything is tight and as it should be. The main thing is he said its safe

 

[Jekyll]

Managed to fix the alarm too. Turned out to be a dodgy bonnet alarm sensor. Ordered a new one from renault Wolverhampton and fitted it. Been on a while now with no probs

Car is being picked up tomorrow for the new owner to take home. Bloody weather is stopping me clean it! It's kinda sad but I got atttached to it and has been a great car to own over the last few years but time to move on. I'm sure the new owner will keep it in good nick and good to see it staying in the club

 

[welshname]

Glad to hear you sorted everything.

Managed to find a new car for yourself yet?

 

[Jekyll]

I'm looking at one over the weekend Fingers crossed!

 

[domsclio182]

Nice one on selling, looking forward to see what you do with the phase 1

 

[Bobby.]

What one you looking at?

 

[Jekyll]

Thanks Dom. Must be a black clio selling up theme, both me, you and bobby are doing it! Lol

Im looking at Jayriches one on here Bobby.

 

[Bobby.]

We're all getting ready for the winter, lol.

 

[Jekyll]

Gave the car a clean for the new owner to take away. Car is currently just under 76,100 miles. Hopefully the new owner is happy with it

[Mr R.]

Could have cleaned the cum stain off of the passenger seat.

 

[Jekyll]

FLOL. Leaving my mark like a dog does on nettles!

Seriously though, that has been there since I bought them, back in may 2011.

 

[Lawro]

Looks lovely mate, I hope you don't regret the decision but I guess 3 years is a long time with a car and you have got it how you were happy with it so on to bigger and better things.

I keep contemplating selling mine but I have no idea what I would replace it with so I guess it is saying for the time being lol!

Enjoy the PH1 hunt!

 

[Bobby.]

That cum stain is standing the test of time!


I thought Ron was buying the recaro's?

Thanks mate. The current look of it made it look fresh and I was happy with it but it was time to move on. As mentioned I'm saving for a mortgage. Getting a ph1 is something I've been after for a while so I'm doing it now while I have the opportunity to do so before we really crack down.

However, yours is spot on condition and they've dropped so much in value that yours wouldn't be worth selling. Keep it, its a beaut.

That cum stain is standing the test of time!


I thought Ron was buying the recaro's?

He was, but Arran wanted the recaro's and I had to make a decision. I sold them in the car but had to let Dave down. Tough choice to make but I got to go with what would work best for me. Although a bit gutted, Dave understood

 

[Jekyll]

Arran flew into stansted today and I took him and he's partner Toni home to me for a cuppa and look at the bg. He was more than happy with the car. I'm sure he will be along to have a word about it soon. They are a really nice couple and I'm really happy that the car is with them and will be looked after. Money does talk and a sale is a sale but having the car go to a good home is nice to know.

[Dan...]

It looks perfect! Bet the new owner is well chuffed

 

[welshname]

Such an awesome car. Can't wait to see how the new owner improves on your work, if at all.

Looking forward to the next project

Probably clean the cum stain off of the passenger seat.

 

[welshname]

It makes the car IMO. I had one of Luke's missus's snail trails on my fiesta passenger seat. Don't tell him but it got there AFTER I bought it

 

[Stefan.]

Awaits its replacement buy a flame red ph 1!!

 

[Rubicon_]

Well that's me half way home, the car has been faultless absolutely love it!! Thanks again Mark, made the whole trip nice and easy. Even though I now have to buy another cat

It's parked up all safe in Nottingham at the moment, wanted to go and check on it earlier but Toni wasn't to impressed lol

[Bobby.]

Enjoy it mate.

 

[Swinney615]

one thing i recommend doing is the headlight inserts gloss black this requires baking headlights to open ect.

 

[Stefan.]

Or you could just buy some black Insert xenons

And sell your grey ones

 

[Swinney615]

You could but where is the fun in that I like making something mine so gloss black over matt black yes please but it is easier to buy another pair of headlights..

 

[Jekyll]

@Ritch_Kid26 You need to update this car!

 

[Jekyll]

I miss this car 😧

Apart from what I spent on it, modifying wise, it cost me very little money in maintenance. It was a great car for me.

It broke a couple of our hearts
