HMC Posted March 23, 2019 Author Posted March 23, 2019 Did a quick fleet pic for posterity this weekend as it’s all change more or less next week.... Also been drying out the CLK as although I’ve sorted the cabin heater rainwater leak, it had been leaking for some time, as evidenced by the fucked heater blower. Although the interior carpets seemed dry, pulling them up revealed a pond and waterlogged backing foam. All sorted Just in time as I’m taking it up to the nec classic car thing tomorrow and collecting a few e bay purchases en route. Walked a different route to the park with the kids; little did I know a Plymouth registered Rover P6 has been slowly decaying just a few streets away..... blakey79, CGSB, The Moog and 3 others 6
HMC Posted April 3, 2019 Author Posted April 3, 2019 What’s the time? umm 5pm if it wasn’t broken. Live collectioning. Firing up the Crusty coupe (blowing manifold for the full on banger effect) an we are off.... Jim Bell and The Moog 2
HMC Posted April 3, 2019 Author Posted April 3, 2019 Could be worse..... Jim Bell, CGSB, Tickman and 5 others 8
HMC Posted April 3, 2019 Author Posted April 3, 2019 Boom! 4 miles into the collection outward leg and the dashboard says no. Broadsword, Cavcraft, CGSB and 3 others 6
HMC Posted April 3, 2019 Author Posted April 3, 2019 Ooooo can we guess the malfunction?4 now to guess with a couple of clues. Perhaps I should have cycled out to the new car and avoided electrical shenanigins? A quick pull over and flick of the ignition resets most of it. # limit of my electrical system intel Hope the new merc is less flakey Jim Bell 1
gadgetgricey Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Hope the new merc is less flakey Doubtful, but gotta love the optimism Jim Bell, HMC and DeeJay 3
HMC Posted April 3, 2019 Author Posted April 3, 2019 First sight of the prey.... Broadsword, Jim Bell, dome and 6 others 9
HMC Posted April 3, 2019 Author Posted April 3, 2019 Verdict- way less flakey than the CLK wuvvum, Dirk Diggler, holbeck and 20 others 23
Broadsword Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Looking remarkably presentable. Handsome car, I like it! HMC 1
somewhatfoolish Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Beirut Cowdenbeath taxicab; well purchased. HMC and chaseracer 2
gadgetgricey Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Doubtful, but gotta love the optimism That looks like I need to eat my words.Looks stunning. HMC 1
HMC Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 ^ it’s not bad, but not perfect. Worst bits are the front wings (at least they bolt off) both have been repaired (not v well look at how it meets the bumper!) and one has been driven into something. Brodders, Jim Bell, gadgetgricey and 3 others 6
HMC Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 Just realised it looks like the corner of the front bumper has been taped back on.
Jim Bell Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 As Merc front wings go, that should be described as well above average. DeeJay, Cavcraft, HMC and 5 others 8
GeordieInExile Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 For £250 you really cannot go wrong with that, dodgy wing alignment or not. HMC 1
The_Equalizer Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 For £250 you really cannot go wrong with that, dodgy wing alignment or not. Indeed. A new, painted wing will probably cost more than the car. Yes, you can try and find a decent second-hand one, but just like the CLKs, they all rot in the same places.
HMC Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 Alas, that’s the reality of banger mercs. Full locked the front wheels and the front coil spring cups seem good, although I’ll reserve judgement until I’ve power washed the arches and looked carefully around the seam sealant.
Jim Bell Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 I think you've done amazingly well for £250 even it it only gets to the next MOT. providing it's still got some MOT. HMC 1
HMC Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 4 weeks! At least no corrosion fails or advisories on the history site. (Crosses fingers) holbeck, somewhatfoolish and Jim Bell 3
