The Plan.. Old Merc, low and black... whitewalls, tints, maybe bags eventually.... a plate thats suits her... Old School!
The old bitch is the same age as me... this was when I saw it on trademe (4 or 5 weeks ago)
Next I got her off the boat (came from Nelson a full seven friggin days later)
Then took her home with all my plans in my head but my daughter got there first!
Then I got into it... Tinted it in the first week, cut the front... was 80mm at the crosmember and the exhaust was lower so I lifted her a little... couldn't get the jack out.
Changed the bonnet, cut out some rust and began the flat-black-one-panel-at-a-time-until-i-get-some-money theme
Now... 3 or 4 weeks later... dumped the arse too but not too much as I sometimes drive around with 56kg of tools in the boot.
will update as I go...
