its the thunder saloons first outing this saturday at lydden for eight years,

i will get some more pics of it there,

looks very good with the new tyres on allround and wheels all restored,

big list of stuff replaced,

hopefully the long nights will be worth it as we have not had a chance to test it yet,

corner weighted it today and its 1070 kilos all up

even with the carbon panels its still a fat old sierra.


very pleased with the way the merc evo2 has turned out,
