Hi all
As some of you will know, there are a lot of changes afoot for me, notably a move to Canada in hopefully the not too distant future. As part of these plans I quit my job last week and as such the company car went. This led me in to a bit of a dilemma which involved me having to buy a car, for the first time in some years. It had to be functional and sellable (quickly) and above all cheap!!
So after much research I picked this up from Scotland on Saturday, I have been cleaning it ever since
I interred .........the "SHED ZONE"
Mercedes Benz 190e
Finished in White
106k T&T'd until September
Everything works on it too! It evan has all the tools & safety equipment & the first aid kit & loads of history
£500 - Bargin!!
Snow foam first, to see what's what!
In not too bad nick, a few scabs here and there, but the paint finish was "matt" to say the least.
So a full day with Autoglym's paint restorer & the two coats of Autoglym polish resin stuff!
Day two:
The interior was minging. There where some very suspect stains in there too. I was reminded of the Top Gear episode when they did a CSI on some old cars they bought
Took all the seats out, and hoovered first. Then used a household stain remover, then a Turtle Wax carpet
shampoo, finally re hoovered. Quite pleased with the results TBH.
Tackled the boot yesterday. Some dampness in there to be sorted, as the spare wheel (with a brand new tyre on!) was very rusty as was the tool kit. So cleaned it all out and refurbished the wheel (a bit not OTT) and the tools. Not a nice job but pleased its now done
Sorry about the picture quality, only had the iphone on me
