Awesome thread and loving the work on the merc . I have had three mercs all C classes and just turned 20 last month ,and I tend do go down same roots as you it seems when it comes to mercs .. Sprayed all three of these myself using rattle cans , well except the last one which I actually roller brushed on with army olive drab boat undercoat paint. My 1st merc I was 17 C200 esprit Matt black and 2coils chopped from springs (better than any car my fellow 17yr old mates were driving about in) ![](http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv14/lead_foot1301/DSC00040-2.jpg) ![](http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv14/lead_foot1301/DSC00037-1.jpg) My 2nd merc I was 19 C180 classic , this changed directon twice German cop style (i got bollocked by police in devon though looked too much like a british cop APPARANTLY) ![](http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv14/lead_foot1301/DSC_0216.jpg) ![](http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv14/lead_foot1301/DSC_0293-1.jpg) wanted to get rid of that so painted it Gloss Black with gold wheels and grill ![](http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv14/lead_foot1301/Image008.jpg) My 3rd merc was a C180 ESTATE which I turned into this ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ![](http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv14/lead_foot1301/Picture097.jpg) ![](http://i665.photobucket.com/albums/vv14/lead_foot1301/Picture086-1.jpg)

Brakes ain't that bad to do Perm, just got to watch all that silly electric stuff on the Merc don't cut in.
Give me a call if you want any advice, can't be any different to fitting a line lock. ;D

Well as most of you saw this at the gathering it would be rude not to pop a little update on , so 9 days before the gathering after standing doormant in the works carpark for about 3 months , due to the fact i have way too many projects , i decided it was time to crack on with the old girl , and hopefully get it ready for the show, i probably didnt know what i was getting myself into with just an hour before work and maybe 2 hours after work , but i still aint stopped smiling, as the car performed much much better than my expectations!!!........ ![](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b90/biggerperm/188.jpg) this lump was still warm here , due to the fact i had a hand from a buddy at work so out in about a half hour!! ![](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b90/biggerperm/190.jpg) ![](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b90/biggerperm/189.jpg) then the fun started , rounded off allen bolts a plenty, grazed knuckles, because the engines are 2 years apart it appears that benz decided to change every ancillery, and i was expecting to just change the loom ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png) ![](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b90/biggerperm/192.jpg) then it slotted in about a week later ![](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b90/biggerperm/194.jpg) ![](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b90/biggerperm/196.jpg) i also painted some new rims , which are 8.5j all round but due to having to space the rims away from the calipers on first drive the wheel wobble was near enough undrivable, so i cracked on with the satin anyways..... ![](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b90/biggerperm/195.jpg) so with a day to go ,, ![](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b90/biggerperm/204.jpg) ![](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b90/biggerperm/203.jpg) absolutely all of it was totally worthwhile tho , coz i now have pics like this . ![](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b90/biggerperm/215.jpg) even if i did have a dukes style off !! ![](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b90/biggerperm/219.jpg) defo the most fun ive had in years, just gotta get it mapped now as the ecu still thinks its a 280, then a cage and i must get around to fitting this hyd handbrake when i get time, but after last sunday I'm not in a rush yet ! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ps excuse the really bad i phone pics , heres wishing i kept my trusty old nokia and stayed away from gay gimmicky wine bar phones...peace
