    Been a nightmare week lol discovered a puddle in the boot 

     

    One of the locating lugs on the drivers rear was leaking so sealed it poured water over car seemed sealed 

     

    Drove the car in the rain puddle was back complain.gif1

     

    Drivers side dry now looks like i missed a much smaller but big enough lol leak on the passanger side so thinking leason learnt , sealed everything that comes through the body both sides

     

    Drove the car in the rain puddle was back complain.gif1

     

    This time ive sealed around both boot hinges, rear washer jet grommet, both sides where the gutters runinto tail gate surround (the origional factory sealant was way past its best little gaps on close inspection at gutter ends and the sealant around the hinges was just lifting away ......... learning my leason ive even sealed around the rear windows (thankfully done a good job and looks pretty factory) 

     

    Then painted all sealant with touch up paint so only time will tell, if its still leaking the roof rails will come off next as even with my bore scope cant see it drip but i can see it at various points so know its from high up 

     

    Looks to have been on the go for a long time with rusty bits behind one of the boot pocket lining and in wheel well which ive sorted aswell

    then i got cracking with the sub enclosure, just need to build something similar for the other side to house the amp parts as it was originally an all in one combo but it was huge

    Altho i haven't got them on as when i went to find my electrical tape someone had borrowed it i assume , i dont smoke bud do have a lighter for heat shrink and it had run out of gas. My car is a walk from the house so no access to electricity banghead.gif1

     

    Tomorrow once ive dropped the kids off and i can get to a shop i can strip it down and remove the old lamps ........... again lol and finish the swap

    Civic used them as a aftermarket accessory, same for nissan skyline r34 gtrs lol but luckily for us these were std fit on mercs. Ever more luckily for me the americans love these merc suv's so have made readily available aftermarket copies. Only difference i can forsee is going to be changing of the electrical plug and should be good to go
