How could I make a living out of restoring hopless-case old heaps like this? YouTube ad revenue is unlikely to cover it I think. Which is a shame, as it would be an excellent business model: Buy hopeless old chod. Record yourself restoring it, make enough money to live, sell on old chod for a modest amount, but not actually need to make profit. Never going to happen is it? Did you ever get anywhere with the gas scrubber thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickvw72 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Isn’t there a member with several 800s, perhaps they’d appreciate a hand to get one sorted? Then at least there’d be another one on the road, and they are undoubtedly less fucked than the green beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that’s deffo w126 down the flanks. Apparently it was a rare prototype of a proposed rover/Mercedes collaboration that I’ve just invented.

Although neither do I suppose.. back on track (!) though, sometimes racing a car is the best outcome for it. Often parts will be saved for better ones. For every couple of rigger booted meat heads there will be a car enthusiast who has a better example in the garage, whilst the ELV gets a good send off.
