- 1994 E220 coupe Bornite/AMG styled.2001 CLK 320 Convertible.2005 Mitsubishi L200 Animal / Black .
I had purchased my first Merc (W124 ) just over a year ago and past 10 months I had the looked after by local garages and suppliers. The car was fine but I needed to get it better and find someone who knew Mercs.
I discovered this Indy near to me (Kirkham) through this forum and decided to pamper her with the "Works" and after the first visit and major service we discussed her needs and Uncle Ian worked his magic.
Over the last month or so the car as had proper TLC inlcluding sort out old oil leak ( 4 mechanics looked previous), Windowscreen re seal, leaking rear windows, Eleccy problems, complete new exhaust sytems ( sounds stunning ) Braking overall and handbrake, cure heater system etc ( much more!!! )
The car now performs and runs really special ( to me anyway ). At this point I then decided to annoy Uncle Ian and deal with some cosmetic mods ( replace steering wheel, grill replacement, change lights , Tidy rear panels and the real clincher convert a full walnut interior from e320 estate to fit a coupe even door panels ( will post pics soon ).
I have also undertaken some basic mechanics and removal of parts and replacement ( under adult supervision!!! ha ha ).
Now i just pop up there and annoy him and meet other Forum members (Last Minute , JPS , KJ all great guys ).
I cannot Thank him enough for his time and his rates ( a lot cheaper than MB when i have asked them for quotes ).
I have to be careful I dont end up stalking him ( that impressed ) Even when he takes the p--s out of my 18" Brabus Rep Blings ( going soon AMG 17's due ). He tried to convince me to some SLK 16's and asked thoughts on forum ( must find thread !! ) but you all said No. I was right Uncle Ian.
Such a long thread but I enjoy the car than ever and before this work even considered selling for a 190 2.5 16v glad I didnt.
I hope you enjoyed the read and if you need an Indy just call Uncle Ian ( not really uncle wanted to call him old b-----d with dodgy beard!! ).
