ok give me a few minutes.... coming soon

first pic is just after i attached (after some major steel bending) the indicator assembly, i had to bolt it on and its holding tight and works

the rest are after i added the main light assembly, theres tape covering the now rusted exposed metal from the crash

yup i'm not rich so havnt got the money to do it right, but i'm trying

That is coming on well Niall, well on the way now

heh, i know it looks crap and it hurts me to see it this way too

i have such a huge love of mercedes particularly the older models

i really want to get this one fixed up enough to sell with no loss, and then get another old(er) one and start the excitement again, I have my sights set on a 'bulla' or older

my biggest problem is lack of money, lack of time, lack of resources, no garage, etc etc....

but I have the desire !!

I did drive the car again today quite a bit and it got a few 'waves' from other drivers, i'm just not sure if they were laughing or not,

I still love driving it ! pity it looks so bad, maybe, just maybe i'll hold on to it and do more, like respray........ but who knows...
