Recommissioning an old merc that’s been left to die in the yard, so I convinced my mate to drag it in and get it back on the road and sell it to someone who would use it rather than leaving it to rot let’s save another old girl 💪💪💪

You said it, Merc do not make them like this anymore! All about cost cutting. Very honest car this. Good job well done mate, and someone will take that on and hopefully it will be around for years to come. No reason why not. Keep it up fellas, and all the best to you, the family, and the garage. 👍🍻🍻

Looks good buddy, £1500 all day long. They are very well built but are normally rusted away by now, so one that good is worth having.

Fantastic colour, despite the rear 1/4. Great 'young timer' classic that should be cheap and easy to run and shouldn't lose money.

@grantssmartrepairs 4 года назад

Definitely not 👊👊👊

@cmb1972 4 года назад

A guy was selling a 190e Cosworth for 850 ono near me a few years ago, in quite rough shape but a nice project, I still see it locally now in the same condition. Might see if its still up for sale.

All I can tell you is one type of motor faces one way and there’s another that faces a different way so you have to check first 👊👊👊

@@grantssmartrepairs Sounds right. They are difficult to disassemble and repair. Mine just locked up and destroyed the insides.
