Got a ''new'' car

Bought my first Mercedes a few hours ago, it's a 1988 Merc 230TE.
Pics to follow, I only paid £113 for it and it's done 280496 miles and stills runs like a dream.

What are my plans for it?
Yeah plans... I wanna bring her back to her former glory no matter how long it takes, I'm in no hurry to get the job done.








Pic of both my cars together

Thats a lot of car for a small price!

I agree, but it does need some work, the windscreen has a 60cm crack in it, the exhaust and rear shocks need replacing and the interior needs refitting, but I have all the time in the world!

So this is the beast you've been telling me about looks ok from the pics

This it it Rybo, it is ok and drives like a charm, but I've already started looking for a new interior as one of the last owners smoked in the car.

I hate it when someones been smokin in a car the roof lining goes yellow

That's why I want to change it, might go with black leather (if I can find an interior in good nick), tinted windows and black headlining, but as previously stated, I got all the time in the world!

I'll see if I can't get some pics of the wheels I got with it, 20 in all..

4 of these "turbo" wheels


4 of these classic Mercedes wheels (these are gonna get used for now)


The 2 other different sets of wheels can be seen on the car, but next summer the 17s are getting 215/45-17 tires front and 235/40-17 back
