Thanks for the Welcomes guys.

I had my Engine rebuilt by Crewe Engines Ltd, Cheshire, specialising in MB Since 1975, great service and correspondence. Had a slight scare when they said the pistons had to be bought from overseas as they don't do many 1.8 but they found a set and all done for price quoted. they completely stripped, cleaned and rebuilt the original block, crank and head to full factory spec. My Mechanic says that she starts up on the turn of the key and sounds wonderful, just got to sort the vacuum pipe out that's from the back of the inlet manifold to where, we have no idea? tried all the schematics and can not locate it any where.

Once she is in my procession again will give a clean and post some pics up to show my baby benz to you guys. Once back my mate is going to help sort out adding the subs into the rear wells and making enclosures to add to my all ready infinity speaker system.

Hopefully been back on the road Monday or Tuesday then its down to sorting the scratches and interior and getting her back up to spec and looking good again for a 20yr old girl she's going good and hopefully another 20yrs after the rebuild.
