This all happened 2weeks ago After selling my crewcab and getting a company car I decided that I needed something to play with for the summer. After a quick look on ebay I ended up with this, An Amg spec 300ce..... One quick trip to Southampton and I was the proud owner of a 3 litre straight 6 automatic pillar-less coupe.  After a quick wash it looked like this  The Plans are fix funky auto box Many thanks to the guys at merc for setting my throttle cable up and it now work Fix random opening sunroof Loose wire on the switch (28/03) Fix N/S rear window - very odd as it works from the alarm Fit stereo as it has nothing C.D player and pre fitted infinity components (28/03) Replace anti rollbar bushes Fit new numberplates Fix N/S rear tail lamp Then I may start changing things |

As it was a nice morning today i decided to have a play with the merc, So i headed over to the parents house and discovered they had this   So stripped out all the carpets and got to work, 20 mins later i was faced with this  They have come up 100 times better, the dark spots are still wet. Decided while the carpets were out i would start correcting the lack of stereo, Grabbed the multi meter and started working out how to wire it all up. Stripped out the rear boot carpet to face this   Look closer....  Yes my bargain Merc has infinity components in it front and rear. So while refitting the carpets i noticed my kickdown switch was not attached. So today i now have a working sunroof, cd player and a fun button under the throttle pedal. |

If the window works on the alarm but not the switch, I'm guessing the switch is faulty.

Well not much has changed in the last week. I merc is booked in to the body shop for a little tidy up next month. Also the first of my Ebay buys have arrived.....Bonus point to who works out what it is?  I cant wait to get it painted and fitted, I need a good (read. cheep) auto electrician to fix a few gremlins if anyone knows anyone |

Its not quite a face lift numberplate plinth, Its a U.S spec plinth i also have the front bumper infill on its way as well. I am not keen on the amg spoiler tbh, i like more subtle things. I love the colour combo, cant wait till all the minor paint defects are sorted out. Yes the seat belt butlers both work, I keep finding the need to thank them when they have done the seat belt dance. And yes it does need to be lower, Once its back from the body shop that will be addressed |

Sadly looks like i am going to be selling her very soon as i need something slightly more practical. She has a few minor issues to iron out but the price will reflect this. May be tempted to sell the rear tub and spoiler separately or may get her painted and the bits fitted to aid the sale.
Slightly gutted to be saying this after having so many plans but i will own another ce in the future.
