my 180

[DEREKO]

just thought i'd throw up a few pictures of my 180, bought i about 2 months ago as a non runner for pretty much nothing, i knew the car as i had supplied this guy with all the parts and done alot of work on it in the past. it was now rough as hell.

The guy that had i before me had made a balls of everything. the pic of it in white was as i got it, everything broken.

I was lucky enough as i broke 2 s14s and a s15 in the past few months so had loads of parts, didnt have to buy too much for it. i thought about an s15 front as i had all the parts but as i had a 180 with a s15 front before i thought it was time for a change and it was worth more to sell the s15 parts i had.
I resprayed it, wider quarters, rebuilt the engine to 2.2 good enough spec, converted it to 5 stud, threw in an rb25 gearbox, 2 bride seats and just ripped it to a bare shell and rebuilt it.still have a good few bits to do with it

[DEREKO]

[martydumpvalve]

looks well man fair play,

[Keli]

I like the old colour! Spray it back! :D

[DEREKO]

you would'nt have liked it if you seen it up close, it was resprayed 3 times and had such a layer of paint on it, looked like it was painted with a brush, overspray on everything including all the trims and moulding and most of the interior

[Keli]

spray it back . . . properly :)

[xGMBx]

I agree with Keli :)

[DEREKO]

not going to happen, im after having 5 white cars so time for something different

[xGMBx]

Some savage work bringing it back though fair play to ya. The powder blue just wouldn't be my cupan tae :)

[DEREKO]

to be honest im not fully into the colour either but i lost a bet with herself so i had to paint it nail-polish blue.., its actually alot darker, it seems a bit light in the pictures, they were taken on a phone so not great quality

[sponsor-a-panda]

lovely motor boss fair play!! :)

[DEREKO]

Cheers, first post now edited with spec of car
