Trailer trash

Thanks,yeah im trying to think of stuff that hasn't been done before just to mix it up abit.

Cheers Dr, more to come.........

Small update,bit of modding at work on fridaywith the radiator bracket and a/c rad brackets.Was going to paint them but thats been done to death, so a little change Makes a nice little subtle difference,next is the fan relay bracket and expansion tank bracket.

Haha,Nice 1,cant wait to be doing the same

Thats good and its all your milage, so least you know what its done over that span.

Nah looks good yours.... 54k thats a good mileage to start with,whats it on now? Yeah personally i think these mb's still hold their own in terms of looks with age,kinda like me haha

Thanks matey, I want to get it to a nice decent daily and do some nice mods along the way.

Gave the wiper arms a little paint, look better now.

Thanks fellas its the little things sometimes that make the big difference. Ive located a bonnet and passenger wing for£45 so gonna get them this week hopefully. Started some mods this week in work, pics to follow soon.

Now black

Started doing the interior plastics black,before i tackle the sagging headlining and replace it with black material Pictures of before and with primer

Thanks mate,if i can save money i will no matter how small

Made a couple of headlight washer jet retaining clips at work today,the originals were pretty corroded so had to be done and they fit spot on, saved myself a few quid and got paid for the pleasure 

Update. Tank cleaned up and painted , new fuel hose fitted. Put it back on the car,my homemade tank strap hangers/securing bolts worked perfect and no petrol leaking!!!! Result well happy.

Tank out! found the leak,corroded feed pipe. As a quick fix, I'll repair with a high pressure rubber fuel hose until I come across a decent fuel pump at the breakers and by the looks of it a decent fuel tank which i know are hard to come by,in the mean time i will clean and paint this one for now. I also made some new tank strap securing bolts/hangers, the originals couldn't be used again they were scrap.

Sure was, its gonna be my daily once its mot'd so it will literally be work in motion

Thanks its great when they come cheap Yeah will take a look,cheers.

Yeah mates rates but he knows i will look after it. Yeah loving it already

Hi all, I bought this vti off my mate,he was the last owner for 10 years so i know the car,full service history,red key,2 black keys,red master key fob,2 black key fobs and ir key fob.manuals ect. It had a fuel leak from the tank so he took it off the road and that was it for a year until he agreed to sell. £200 in my favour Its a 98 model in baikal green with 131000 on the clock. I plan to get it back to its former glory with some mods along the way.im doing it on a small budget so alot of things will be re fabricted to save costs. This is how it was when i got it home needs most of the attention to the bodywork.needs a few little bits and pieces for the mot,first off,fix the fuel leak. He's already done a few little mods including, full leather,jazz washer jets,smoked side repeaters,painted the cam cover,recon rear calipers painted red,a crap induction kit and a crap stainless back box. Bonnet is trash,laquer has gone white. Headlight washer missing but have 1 to hand,fogs beyond repair but have some to hand. This arch isnt too bad but needs doing the other side has been repaired but needs re working. I know the intake is laughable but that will be binned asap!
