  • The outside of the Mercrdes was looking rough having been left outside for so long - it took longer than I expected!

    nice job mate,she looks like a great car,are you going to take the head off first or try and start her ? could be more prudent to take it off in the long run to make sure no damage is done.

      Thanks John, I'm not sure it's looking more likely that the engine will need refurbishing. I've hot the engine turning but lacks compression which I'm assuming down to piston rings being partially stuck.
