Hi All,
How awesome is the 190e??? my dads one has been parked up at my house now (in the garden at the back near an overgrown bush) for like 3 1/2 years now, just brought it out to my dads house yesterday (towed it there) then i stuck a jump pack on it, and low an behold it fired up first time!!! WOW i've never seen a car with a flat battery fire up first time with a jump pack (jump pack is nothing special £20 from maplins) let alone a car which has been off the road for 3 1/2 years!!! well after a quick wash yesterday i have got the paint work semi acceptable, and i've just serviced the engine today is running a treat. all i need to do now is get the front windscreen changed (RAC guy coming on monday) as some prat decided to throw some bricks at it while it was parked up. also have to sort out some mold on some of the interior, mainly passenger seat and seatbelts... any help here would be appreciated, anyone dealt with mold before? how did you get rid of it??
Also i forgot to mention there is NO rust what so ever on the car, i was expecting to replace a few body panels but zilch no rust (i'm well impressed!!!) in its place though was loads and loads of spiders and webs!!!
Well i'll keep you all updated on the progress of this sort of resto, im hoping to have the car back on the road within the month, need MOT hopefully it will pass, may need new rear shocks though.
Thanks for reading,
K
