Been busy ....

That's quite a long list there in such a short time,
You don't waste time mate.
Are you gonna retrim the doors yourself ?
or get civic ones like Grimmy's ?
Either way it should look good with your car.

Sounds like fun, good learning curve.

Will be retrimming myself once I get red ZS seats mate. Still waiting on the incorrect exhaust getting picked up so in the meantime I've ordered a stainless steel 3" pipe to bolt on to the existing backbox to fill the gap left once I fitted the heatshield.

And yeah pete, my last mk2 180 had no real issues so this has been quite good fun doing instead of just reading about the fixes. Great to get my hands dirty.

On a secondary note, I use the car about 200 miles a month and Kat about 100 miles so we are seriously considering just upgrading the the mk2 180 instead of keeping both. Just seems a waste otherwise. If we do then this will be for sale come January time.

Will swap you if I can swap interiors lol

[Smokey]

Lol, you'll take that interior wherever you go now eh?! I will be looking for a 180 with less than 40k on it though Grimmy so will be saving a couple extra grand to be sure of getting the best example with the lowest mileage and immaculate bodywork.
(Plus I'd want the red interior :P )

Will hopefully have the doorcards and seats changed to red before selling anyways.

[andy_mgzs]

Totally enjoyed reading that. Any updates?

[Smokey]

Thanks. None really apart from it will be for sale in a matter of weeks lol.
