OK I have the merc in storage had to get moved by low loader as she wouldn't start still not starting thinking flat batt just aint had a chance t get up and charge it yet But here is my new car 198,500 miles from new only one previous owner (my dad). It is just going to be run as a banger economics style well that was the plan, it didnt last long. When I got it it needed a new headlight as its covered in what looks like laquer and cant get it clean but not an mot prob still looks bad. It needs a new side skirt and some dash bulbs. The headlight is in the boot waiting fitting, the dash bulbs sorted and its gona get a damn good clean more. So here she is ![]() |

Looking good Alan, I think you can get a polish for the head light lens, it will remove small scratches and clean the plastic. |
