Dr Jekyll's BG182 Project Thread

[welshname]

At the minute close to £4k

In may £1200

 

[Jekyll]

Yeah big difference! Lol

 

[Austin-182]

Looking good mate, very different to how it was. Get some clean pictures of it up.

 

[Bobby.]

I payed £2600 insurance for my first 182. Yes I know, I was mad.

I look forward to seeing some decent pics marky. Are you going to be adding some silver touches to bring it all together?

 

[Jekyll]

Yes pal, I'm going to to do dash strips, steering and gear knob insert, interior door handles and clock bezel in a bright silver. I might have a go at doing it this weekend, but my main concern is my clicking noise and alarm problems

So I've been having a major think lately and after deep thought I'm going to sell the BG. I'm constantly looking at silver ph1s and its an itch that just needs to be scratched. I noticed today a chip on the drivers door and this was the final push for me to sell up and get what I want.

PH1 is the way forward.....:race:

 

[Jekyll]

Ive been constantly looking at the ph1 thread and its been niggling at me for a while now. Seeing yours in the flesh really turned me as its the pinnacle of the ph1s and although i like my bg, its something that just has to be done.

 

[Mr R.]

Good stuff mate, yes they look a bit old now but i love mine.

I have a gut feeling that yeecups iceburg might come up for sale soon.

Just spend the money and buy the best that you can afford as a dog will end up costing you lots.

 

[Bobby.]

It will be sad to see it go, but your getting the right replacement

PH1s are 100% FTW.

Really really much nicer to drive than the PH2s.

 

[Wick]

Actually jealous you're brave enough to make the move. Wish I had the balls to lol!

 

[Wick]

Oh a keep the trendlines for the ph1!

 

[brisa4984]

shocked at that mark. your BG is the best on here and someone is going to end up with such an epic example.

 

[dmallett]

Good idea on the ph1 tbh, they just seem better imo

 

[The Russian.]

You will enjoy a ph1 mate, from 2 meg225's and a 182 I just prefer the ph1 for the roughness if that makes sense, I'd happily have another 225/r26 but I'm really enjoying the ph1.

Be a shame as said because your BG looks awesome but when a itch needs scratching.

 

[ramsey374]

You've still got it! I'm back looking for a 182 again. Just sold the Astra vxr !!!

 

[Jekyll]

I'm sure I will clarkey! I'm just weighing up the pros and cons with what to do to it tbh. I don't want to spend 100s getting it fixed only to sell it sort cheap. If I split it, I could sell all the nice bits (not inc any engine parts) and sell the remaining as a ready to start rolling shell. But what I don't want to do is start selling parts and have a half car sitting here.

Jordan, yeah I still got it, but not for long! You want another 182?! You just can't help yourself! Lol

 

[ParisPeach]

Do a phase 2 dash conversion on the phase one? I personally cannot stand the phase one dash!.

 

[Jekyll]

I was like you but as time has gone on I've found there's very little things I dislike about them, inc the dash!

 

[Rob]

Mark, don't do it.

You'll honestly struggle to find one that's been as well looked after and in as good nick as yours.

Unless you buy from clarkey/scott/harpham, or find nickson's old car, a lot have been neglected.

Don't get me wrong, they're not exactly expensive to replace things on, but you'll spend the first year chasing small issued the previous owner didn't care about to make it perfect.

 

[welshname]

That's half the fun though surely?

 

[Austin-182]

Surprised to see this mate. I used to hate ph1's but now i really like them, although i do still think you will regret it after a while.

 

[dmallett]

Part of the minority there mark! Ive done ph2 conversions on both my ph1's now, i just cant stand the standard dash

I don't mind doing some stuff to it tbh. All depends on what the sale is. My budget would be £3k but I'm hoping a lot less than that. Tbh rob I haven't even started looking at ones for sale yet. Although I've got the money to buy now, what I don't want to do is buy it for X amount and then strip mine and not make the same back, therefore at a loss, money wise. I've got time to look and everytime I log on here and see one it just pushes me to aim to get one. I think it'll be best if I strip mine for parts and sell the body with all engine intact as a working rolling shell, that way its not too much hassle my end.

I'd obviously make it into a project but it would be quite tame in comparison to the bg.

That's half the fun though surely?

Hopefully just the little bit, if any. If it needs work, then that's something I'm not entertaining. I'd like it pretty much ready to go.

Same mate. When I first started looking into clios I much preferred the ph2s, but now my option has changed! Hopefully I won't regret it but I won't know unless I try.

Dont get me wrong dan, I do like the ph2 dash but I think when I get one I'd like to go for a oem+ theme and just do little things to it. All the ph2 stuff that would go on it would be cup spolier, rear lights and possibly (but probably not) the boot.

 

[Jekyll]

Ive never sold a car to the public, Scott, thats why i ask. My first car (1.1 fiesta) i had for 3 years then sold to a workmate, next was my 1st BG182, which i then sold to an ex girlfriend, then (prepare yourself..... 1.0 nissan micra!) which i sold to my dad and now the current BG182.

 

[Wick]

That's gotta be worth more than 2.5 all day.

I'd say get it up a fair whack higher than that!

It's been so so well looked after.

 

[Wick]

Ah belts needed next year though. Just spotted that. Hmmm tricky one.

 

[Jekyll]

Checked a receipt, belts were done in 2010, so not due for another year+ or 8k.

 

[Lawro]

Sell me your Wilwoods

That will shift for £3,000+ easy I would say, you know as well as most that trying to find a nice 182 is like looking for gold in your back garden. 8/10 of them are shitters.

 

[Rubicon_]

I'm on the hunt for another clio just now Mark, i may snap this off you! Could you pm me the current spec when you get a chance

 

[Jekyll]

All done my friend.

 

[Jekyll]

After a few PM's and calls, the bg is now sold. Should be gone this weekend or next!

 

[welshname]

Jesus that was fast. Go get what you wanted

 

[Tim.]

Good for you, Mark!

 

[Matt e]

hope you got more than £1250

 

[Jekyll]

Thanks guys

Haha, yeah just a tad more matt!

 

[dmallett]

Buy that s**t sun flower on eBay for £650 and restore it to its true beauty! You know you want to ha
