3gdean Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 So This is what i picked up two weeks ago, you may have already seen it if you scour the bay everyday like me. It was abit of an impulse decision, mates telling me to just get it and it didnt take long to be on the phone insurance...which is cheaper than my MC1 was?!?!?!?!? Quick look round it, quick test drive it was coming home.I ended up paying £850 Ebay pics It was from a sales yard and they didn't know much about it, finally get home to look through documents, all previous MOT's and service history up to 87K with the cambelt being done and its only at 97K. Theres a few niggles that have/still need to be addressed. Sh@t window mech fixedHeadlights polished upSmashed fogs replacedBumper lined up better, still needs another tweakExhaust Blow fixed (full system from powerflow, standard size though, just freer silencers and 3.5 inch tip) Still needs doingABS light on, diagnosed as NSF break in ground, so new sensor i'm presuming? I really dont like the standard wheels,,,ebay,,,picked some BBS off a volvo, £125 were already sprayed with a rattle can in black. The offset is slighlty off to how i would like it.Theyll be refurbed silver, and when the tyres need replacing will get a different profile so they sit abit better.And of course lower ASAP. Wind deflectors on the way.Theres a few more styling tweaks that may impress on the way soon.Quick Q dont spose anyone knows if the number plate recess will fit from an MB?

Mr Brown Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 nice tidy deck mate.. Was def worth getting this one by the looks of it, bet she looks much better already with the few bits you already done to her.. Re the recess i'm not sure tbh but it looks identical to me hopefully somebody will confirm soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
