Bushells RB 182

[Bushell182]

Hi all, cars off the road for the winter and I’m bored so thought I’d start a build thread,

So I picked this up around the middle of September, getting three different lifts off friends and from my door to getting back was around 15h round trip 🫠, was in no real rush though. Seller was brilliant, open and honest which is a good job cause I had no real way of getting home if it was a dog lol.

After a really good trouble free drive home there was obviously some things needing attention on the car so I’ve set about sorting it.

Headlight adjusters not working (fixed)
Heater servo not working (fixed)
Rear calipers and carriers binding on (replaced both with new units)

Next on the list is new wheels, I’ve bought some but not sure what the fitment is like an the tyres are too big for a start so going to put some 195/50/15’s on instead of the 225/50/15’s that are on them just now.

Also wanting to remove the interior sticky plastics and get them hydro dipped in carbon to match the other bits already done. Anyways enough waffling, here’s some pictures 😎👌🏾

The font 👀

Get some standard plain plates on it

Ah yeah, I wanted to trim the front plate down to match up with the line on the bumper but never got round to it yet. I don’t mind the font though, usually run the metal pressed plates so might go back to them
