Well, it turned up today.
you'll notice to save time I've already had a breakdown truck fitted to it, as where's the point in delaying the inevitable?
Some parts fell off on the way down...
Some parts have been broken for a while...
Anybody got the AC code for 'vert mould'?
The roof is a bit cattle trucked.
LOL@paint matches!
This is my friend Martin. He is laughing.
...and that's the last I'll see of the merc. SAD TIMES!
It doesn't look too sad, the top half of the shells relatively tidy, underneath it's got that horrible type of rust that affects not one panel, but the three or four panels near it, and looks fine until you prod. the shell is effectively scrap, although that's not stopped anybody yet...
This is Martin again. Running away before i changed my mind!
The biggest problem is that the chassis has just collapsed on the driveway. I have another chassis, however it's the one that's meant to be going under my crosser this weekend. Here lies a quandary, I want this turd turned round fast so I can cane it about this summer, that means either stumping up for a new chassis (not happening) or finding a good used one (unlikely) or, the scenario I'm reluctant to carry out, use my Cross chassis.
The body can be patched up for an MOT easy, it's more work than I wanted, but it's doable, it's only metal and I've no intention of doing it properly, just doing and thrashing it.
Watch this space...
