Hello there,
I'm located in the South west of England.
I've got an 23 year old merc estate c200 sport that I bought nearly a year ago. I bought the car through necessity, with 3 months MOT, fairly cheaply at 550.
To my surprise, it flew through with only advisories on the tires.
I've grown quite attached to the vehicle, mercs are cool and they think of the little things. My favourite it the turning circle, for an estate it turns better than most small cars.
But the sorry old 2l petrol 'sport' engine is tired....
So once I get more cash rolling in. I'd like to maybe invest some money into doing the girl up. From suspension, to pipes hoses, engine mounts, breaks, wheels, seats, transmission, engine and a general bit of TLC upkeep and necessary replacement or upgrades.
I know it would make more sense to get a better model merc, but I could make a nice little tame sleeper while holding on to a pretty solid and in my opinion cool shaped car and retain that little bit of history.. any body else done anything similar?
