Congratulations on your purchase; the best looking merc ever, in my opinion - with the best engine.

Nice car. I think I'd replace those wheels though for something more in keeping withe the model.

 

[tonka12]

i have got some differant wheels now but still modern sorry

 

[mikestrivens]

All in good time. It sounds like you already have a programme in mind for doing the backlog of repairs and maintenance. Good for you. These vehicles are worth keeping on the road.

 

[tonka12]

yes dude most of it repairing previous bodges [no offence to popuptoaster] and alot of cosmetic work and a good service

This used to be MY CAR!!!!!!!! I cried when I saw it on here, I hope you are looking after that merc Tonka! I LOVED that car. Can you tell me what you had to do to the engine to get it driving well again? I spent over a thousand quid and no one could diagnose the problem... Hope its driving well for you. That was the smoothest drive of all time. I notice the interior has changed, did you do that? So happy to see my old merc again.

And no, it wasn't me who had any previous dodgy repairs either!!!!!!
