My 182 Trophy #400

[Deb]

Finally managed to get myself a 182 after years of wanting one. Never thought i'd be lucky enough to get a Trophy.

Found it on a salvage site that my dad was using for work and pursuaded him to get it.

Its no. 400/500 and needs a bit of work lol.

When i first got it home





When we got it off the trailer











It also has a scrape on the rear quarter



and a scrape across the roof and spoiler

Just like to say good luck with the restoration hope all goes well

So nice to see a trophy in desperate need of help and someone taking the time to restore it back to its original condition. That by the looks of it was nearly another trophy gone for good but now its going to be sorted !!! good man !! and good luck keep us lot updated with the progress.

Yes good luck with the resto though I'm slightly worried how you are going in get that door into a space that is no longer door shaped.

Im not sure i understand this post. Wasn't this posted up before about 2 months ago? I thought this would be an update kind of post to say how things are going???

Anyway, good luck with it. Be good to hear how you are getting one. Hopefully be all sorted ready for some better Springtime weather and nice drives.

I only put the first two pictures up in the Newbies section before, so thought i'd start a proper progress thread. Although the only progress I've made is moving it off the trailer lol. Thought it was going to go to the bodyshop this week

 

[wigstar1]

Ahhh. I thought it was De Ja Vu.

Im just glad you are taking the time to sort it out and get it back on the road. Top Marks for that.

Managed to get a few more pics







Then started her up to take her to the bodyshop, and realised that there was no oil. So when I put the oil in...



it all came back out again!



So back on the trailer she goes



Bye bye Trophy

I then got bored and decided to wash the saxo and my mums car in the rain lol
