Nabil83 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hello everyone, up on suggestion of few members of this forum to build a thread for my MB2, I'm pleased to start one, showing what I've done to it so far, even if it's going at a very slow progress due to both time and money really.I have bought the car in April last year for £250 from my neighbour, it had 42K on the clock with full service history from honda, since he bought it in 1998, I know the car was stationary for quite a bit of time, due to some wear on the weather strips on the left side, it had quite bad dent on the rear passenger door which I replaced and and on the rear arch aswell which was bent in from the rear door to under the fuel flap, but I've managed to do some DIY body work on my driveway and resprayed it, I think it looks ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabil83 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 the next job was replacing the exhaust system mid section, that wasn't bad £44, from eurocarparts £20 fitting by my local garage, who also replaced both outer CV boots on each side which were badly worn.then I turned my attention to the interior and took the old pioneer radio cassette out and replaced it with a cd/mp3 player, then I thought I didn't like the wood effect on the dash board also the the black clock surround and dash central unit so I've resprayed them in titan silver too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabil83 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Wheels !!!!! I decided to go bit bigger so went for 17" wolfrace alloys which I havent fitted yet due to poor weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Some good progress already and £250 for a 42k car is such a bargain. If you are going with 17's I'd definitely advise lowering as it will ride too high on those imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabil83 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Thanks Tom. Nick to be honest I dont really want to lower it as wanna keep it descreet a bit, but we'll see how it will look with the 17" on first then might change my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
