Got given a very tired and battered 300D the other day by a customer. Nothing untoward there apart from it's an ex Taxi so has galactic milage and the rear axle subframe mounts had ceased to exist. Spent last Sunday restructuring the back end with a curse word load of 2mm plate. Then slung new brakes all round on it. The interior smells worse than a hamsters chuff so I'll have to get round to sorting that out at some stage. However first order of buisness once the main faults were dealt with was to deal with the excessive amount of air between the arches and tyres. So an hour later I had these taking up room by my feet Which left it looking a tad more respectable Could do with dropping the back a tad more but I need to fabricate some locating cones for the springs first to stop them dropping out when jacking the car up After that I think adressing the colour may be required. My other ride

Finally got round to doing something with the old girl as she was taking up way too much space in the workshop. A quick splash of satin black and she's starting to look decent. Just need to sort out the minging interior and a fresh front bumper.

Small world eh Blagged the skull off the back of an old trike we had lying around, never fails to get a look or two with it gawking from the dashboard. The 300 should be knocking around as soon as I can source a new front bumper.
