No wonder the lights leaked!! Its not the lights but the whole rear panel is leaking!! As you can see from pics i'm taking it back to bare metal and starting again, lots of fillar so i'm grinding it out and panel beating it back into shape so there wont be as much fillar. We have got to remember this car is about 22 years old now so i personally think its held up well.
In the 3rd pic that is a hole at the bottom!!
Having said all that i'm really enjoying it

Don't think I will ever sell it unless I need to. May mothball it and just get it out for RS days only.
May rearrange the garage a bit, currently I fancy a Caterham R500 and a 997 and a Ferrari 360 Spider... oh and a hummer or a Dodge ram
Who knows!

24 hr events Fookin ell that does sound like a lot of hard work Would be cool to have a go though. Was that the one where some guy entered an old S Class from Germany? Where he drove it over raced it for 24hrs and drove it back home to Germany after?

Some more. Simon standards are VERY high. Wasted on me, I couldn't tell if he painted it with a roller and his feet or a spray gun!
