Hi all
Hands up all those that have watched something then had the bright idea to look on the web for that cars etc involved? Well heres the result of sitting down and watching my Miami Vice box set!
Always fancied an old V8 Merc complete with period alloys etc and of course it had to be 80's white. Just typical that I found this one after selling my Volvo S70R and that was that.....!
Fixed a few faults like seat belt extenders but still have the sunroof to fix!
Best fix was a clunky transmission and engine misfire on idle, when I bought it I thought a good service and possibly a new N/S rear drive shaft..........however abit of investigation revealed a tiny vacum hose had disconnected at the rear of the cylinder head. This pipe goes to the the transmission modulator. Pushed it back on and NO misfire with a silky smooth transmission, RESULT
Heres a few photos, will keep you updated as I go along with it. You got to love the 80's cloth and velour
