The diary has been cleared and i'm on a mission, she does know its coming but thinks its having a " tart up " i was never forgiven for selling her last one 5 years ago, but after Mercedes did the rust on it under warranty and it all came back through it had to go!!! the wheels are ordered, clk/sl grille ordered, Halo lights ordered, two new wings on the shelf, amg exhaust (kicking around somewhere!!) really wanted an SLK32 bodykit (gold dust!!) so i'm sticking an early amg rear bumper on until i find a 32 kit at the right price (well one can hope!)
T-9.................A day of elbow grease and Tinkerbelle is ready for primer !!!!! New wing mounts manufactured and welded on Bumpers & Skirts all prepped every colour coded part flatted and keyed
It will go down to the wire Malc i hope i can get it finished for the 21st.... hell of a lot of trim to be refitted and then still have the seats to treat & dash/centre console panels to paint!!!! i'll be ok if " runny jim "stays away when i clearcoat it!!!!!!!!!!
Hi toby my wife has never forgiven me for selling her SLK 5 years ago, rather than pay top dollar and watch the rust come through my logic was buy an honest un touched one complete with rust and restore it she'll never sell it !! i think i'll be gone before the car especially when she see's the colour!!!!!
Hi All, the wheels i have ordered are Team Dynamics " Equinox " staggered 18" i really wanted Carlsson 1/16's but never managed to find a set in my price range the equinox are a nice wheel and the stainless rim adds a little bling.... doing all the work myself & i have to say finding it quite theraputic i haven't done body repairs for years i'd forgoten how satisfying restoring a car can be & its for my wife who will love it !!! i'm lucky to have a disused workshop & spraybooth that belongs to a friend so its nose to the grindstone more photos up soon !!
