Default My Mercury Grey S2 *E834 DGY* - 05/11/05

Seeing everyone else's thread, it made me want to stick a few photos up of my poor old car Currently without a bottom end, she's been sat at the end of the driveway since February, I really need to get my finger out my bum.

I actually just put my finger in my bum to test this.

It's quite pleasant.

Anyway, bought in April 2004 at auction, the car was pretty fooked not many panels matched and the engine was cutting out all over the place. The bonnet was new, but still matt black



As far as I could see [and not knowing much either way] the engine was standard, the shocks were konis, the wheels are 16" BK Racing and the exhaust is some weird make that I still have the receipt for, called something heroic like "Tiger bomb" I'll check... but it sounded good [look at that thuggish england plate too that was changed sharpish ]



The interior was standard 88 spec with a collapsed passenger seat which was straight out to be fixed



Unfortunately whilst out, it showed up a MINGING damp patch due to a leaky battery tray, 2 days of fibreglass and I tried to fuck it up even more



The interior was stripped out and treated to a going over with a wallpaper steamer



Strangely, even after the awesome job I did making a boat hull out of fibreglass in the engine bay, the battery tray was still leaking so it was taken to a our local man to have a new one fitted, fooking top job he did too



Pic of me and the old man overhauling the brakes [braided hoses now!!! after 3... WOOOoooOOOoooo ]. A fine figure of a man.



And up on stands:



With the interior back in, it was time to focus on the bodywork.....
