Bagged 190E

[Marc C]

I’d forgot what it was like to have an actual functional garage for a while

Still a bit of clearing out and tidying up to do but it’s getting there!

Quality. I'd kill dead things to have that much space around a car in the garage.

To be fair, it does help that the 190 is so small lol but yeah can’t complain about space, hardest part is not letting it full up with sh1te

Service kit and a few other random bits sorted today. Will be getting serviced and a start made on the list of niggly issues to sort once the daily is MOT’d.

Yes sir, that was me

Daily finally tested again, although 8am Sunday morning MOT’s are not the one!

Going to SORN the Merc, get it in the garage and get to work on the wee bits I want to do and get it ready for its MOT.

Had to give the daily a scrubbing as well as it’s sat for a while and had become home to a lot of moss and some wildlife

What late 80s early 90s JDM dished wheels have you chosen sham?

100% hopefully there in Cork so we can have a road trip

Car’s been in the garage for the last few weeks, noticed the back left sitting a bit lower so aired it up and left it for a few days. Came back to it sitting very low at that corner so will have to add that to the list of things to be done!

Can’t see much being done this side of Christmas, so she’s tucked away and then I’ll get stuck in after the New Year.

Apparently there's no feeling/sensation

Any truth?

Had MOT booked for Thursday, completely forgot until I got the text reminder a day or 2 before

Gave the battery a charge and ran it down, tester brought it out, commented on how clean it was and what good nick everything looked in…except the drivers seat wouldn’t move back or forward.

Took it home, seat out, cleaned up the rails, WD40, etc. Back down tonight and straight through.

Raging with the pointless (in my mind) £30 retest, but happy enough knowing everything else is 100%

Wheels ordered this week, nothing like a bit of last minute Dubshed prep

Fingers crossed they’re here in time

What's the chances you bought VSKF's ?

You'd be a hero

Today was a good day

Can’t wait to get tyres and get these on

 

[Marc C]

Quick test fit while I had a few minutes this afternoon. Tyres this week!

Holy smokes they are class!!!

I’d never heard of them, until I seen an ad for them while aimlessly scrolling through Instagram stories lol

Was banging my head against a brick wall trying to decide what wheels I wanted and then these just popped up and knew I wanted them!

 

[Marc C]

One of those things I knew I needed but have been putting off. Replaced the battery today, went for a slightly bigger one to compensate for the extra load of the air suspension and the sub I’ll be sticking in soon too

What width are they? Tyres handy got with a respectable side wall that will stretch and not cost the earth?
