Got the benz back from the welder this afternoon, not the neatest of jobs but there is definately metal where there was only iron oxide before. The price went up, and the fucktard has damaged some trim. Suppose a rush job for cash I could have taken it out myself. I know for the future. Anyway on a brighter note, got my moon disks from phatford thanks very much and have tried them on the car now i'm back from visiting swmbo's mum. What do ya recon to my Sethlook merc?

Actually, in the most perverse of ways it really works for me, the basic lines and profile of the car are very clean, so the discs work for me,

And I won't sit down. And I won't shut up. And most of all I will not grow up.

it needs to be at least a foot lower to get even close to pulling it off, with whitelettered goodyear eagle slicks and an ally panel with a few large holecutter holes in instead of a grille.
without that, nah, don't work.

I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do, and it's a much cheeper way of covering up the mank BRMs than buying a new set. Yeah and it needs to be lower for the look to work better. I might have ago at panneling the grill as well, but that will deffo have to wait till after RR, along with the numbers and F/PRO decals for the quarter windows. and maybe an ally duck tail chin and boot spoiler.

Definately needs to come down a bit to pull it off.

Short rear springs mission is starting tomorrow morning, if i'm feeling brave i'll chop a little off the short springs. I'm really not too sure about taking the front's back out and chopping them. I couldn't bring the car to CaRS last year because i'd cut too much off the stock springs and couldn't drive it But then I suppose a single coil wouldn't hurt. The Moon Disks will be held on with sticky fixers all the way round, becauce i don't want to drill and tap the alloys, i might get the chrome stripped and refurbish them one day, so if i start not feeling the love i'll pull em off.
