****.
Just had a phone call from the restoration specialists to say the Merc can come in anytime from Thursday onwards for its full bare metal respray.
So, just lashed out £500 on new panels at Mercedes.
And, over the next eight weeks or so will be sinking £3500 into the old girl.
So much for my master plan of 'buy N/A RWD cos its cheaper than Turbo 4wd'
Ho-hum - more money down the pan.
Must remember to enter the 'Most expensive Mercedes Cosworth' competition.
Must also remember to stop being a petrolhead
Will be taking before and after photos
