Whilst it is in the bodyshop we are going to have a go at the bushes, I have left them to soak in some WD40 and going to see if that helps. Probably will give it another go over the weekend.
As for the rest of the car, once it is out of the bodyshop, it will be a full major detail done by myself. Restore all the leathers. Steam clean the carpets, probably will take the seats out. Steam clean the engine bay etc... Probably will go through a 2/3 day detail. Will take plenty of pictures for sure. Can't wait to pop in the brand new AMG mats either!
Then it will be hopefully ready to enjoy over the Summer!
I do have a few niggles that need sorting in the interior, the drivers door card pocket it a little loose on the right side end and does not shut fully. I haven't took it apart just yet.
I can only find a couple of replacements in the whole world for sale as it needs to be Alpaca Grey, but both sellers was silly money for them (over £200) and will not split the door card so I can buy just the pocket. If any one knows a fix for this without having to buy a door card/pocket then that would be amazing!
My second niggle is the centre console box, the last owner who had it when his PSE pump went ended up prying it open when it was locked and broke the lugs at the front so he could get his belongings out before selling it!!!
Again a replacement is just too overpriced in Alpaca Grey, is there a fix?
P.S ended up fitting the magnetic ABC filter, cost nearly half the price to send back and it looks pretty cool in the engine bay, also helps to show the fluid is still clean and green. Hopefully it will be of some use later down the line!
Thanks guys!
