You know what I was sitting in class today and literally out of no where I realsied I posted the wrong car haha, just one of those moments I do appologise

Thanks guys.

Its been a busy few months of shows & meets for the Mercedes.

First a local Retro meet which I won best car of the evening.



Then I decided to take it along to the Forge Motorsport Action Day at Castle Coombe.

On the Forge Motorsport stand.









While I was there I got invited to 100% Tuning in Rotterdam which I really couldn't say no too as its not often you get invited to such a big show, so ferry & hotel was booked & off we went.

Inbetween waiting for then the previous owner sent me some pictures he found of the car.













So cool as that is one thing I do want to do in the future is use it for a wedding car.

Back in the bodyshop for some more little touch ups & I had the whole of the underneath plus inner arches undersealed, no pics tho im afraid.



Also ordered a new boot rubber & Grille rubber which I haven't fitted yet.





So then the time came for the long journey from Devon to Rotterdam which I must admit I was looking forward to lol !

Met up with a few mates in Bristol on the way & then carried on to Dover to catch the 07.30am ferry to Calais.

On the Ferry



Setting up at the show in the Ahoy arena.













And some better ones ive found from over the 2 days.















On the Sunday evening we had to move the cars from the hall we were parked in ready for the trip home on Monday morning.





And then we started the long journey home after a fantastic weekend at the show.

One of many fuel stops.







It wasn't a great journey home, well not bad apart from the pot holes in Belgium.

Bent 2 lips.





So it was lucky I ordered these before I went, 2 inch ones for the front & with these I can then work out how wide I can go on the rear.





So all in all it was a great trip apart a few hiccups, defiantly recommend it for next year.

With the bent lip problems & the time of year I decided to put the white walls back on which really suit the car, some people think even better than the splits but im not sure about that maybe as good.













That's all for now, plenty to come over the winter so watch this space.

I'm from Belgium and indeed, some parts of the high ways are really bad! A shame for your lips! Are they that fragile?

[Mehowski]

I like both sets of wheels, but the white walls really are mint I must say

Thanks mate & yeah that was the only country we passed through that we had to pay a toll which seemed weird.

[woody m3evo]

Just a small update, finally got my new front lips & worked how wide I can go on the rear, so they are now on order.

Fronts.



Test fitting the fronts on the rear.
