Hi everyone.....long time no chat. Alot has happened since my last post. Moved house twice, but still got my three babies. Finally got the window I was seaching for. All fitted, now where did I pack the rear bumper??? Just to find that and off to the mechanic for another roadworthy. My mechanic like...

Ok at least 1 is on the road, registered, drivable. Still waiting on the series 1 import window. And well the other 1 re soft top I think I have given up and will use it for parts as well as the other doner one we bought. 2 out of 4 aint bad I suppose.........so sad

Ok now for an update. Just had window bloke here with new window all the way from Japan and taken just over 4 weeks and guess what IT WAS THE WRONG ONE......LOL It was one for my other MB's not my grey import. I gave them the Vin no. and everything and they still got it wrong. So they are going to ...

I haven't been following the car, so I'm a little lost Any pics of the frame? like this - http://img339.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/4/2/3/1/master_club74-img600x450-1282389228kxo8iq44690.jpg or http://f32batchimg.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/0/1/8/9/fukusuke_boueki-imgbatch_1287656850/600x450-20101018...

Wow Dave she looks nice and neat......not bad for the price u paid....good score, good luck with what you want to do with her. I took one of mine to the tip yesterday....what a load of fun :) Wanted to bring home a double matress for the dogs bed and the guy tried to convince me to load it on the ro...

I was also thinking about doing the same thing. I am so over waiting for these panel beaters to get back to me. I have done it before and sure I can do it again........maybe when the kids go back to school so I wont get interuppted. Afterall hubby is a spraypainter/furniture polisher, so if I do all...

We had an old steam gernie many years ago that would strip the paint off anything it touched....I remember doing the truck chasis's and the paint peeling.....much to hubbys disgust....lol

It also needs a roll bar installed behind the seats. Tom went through the hassle of trying to get his convertible MB registered and it was traumatic. As Billie says, engineers are less interested (or capable) of tackling such projects these days, simply because of the regulations. What if I can get...

Making it a convertible is a massive job, especially these days. Chassis reinforcement, the custom soft top. Body work. idk what else but wouldnt be cheap. I also asked him for a quote re bringing it back to original, like getting rid of that huge sunroof and then straightening it all up, so am wai...

I would like to know why these sorts of MBs arent worth very much, when it is almost impossible to get parts for them or is this why Some parts are interchangable so far we have learnt, its mostly the cosmetic stuff.

so was I actually so I suppose, I am just hoping they have the right model, otherwise it will be going back. I just have that feelin, so wont really celebrate till its in the car

OK just finish off my updates on the boys: Last Weekend - pulled out the seats etc out of the canopy MB to install the new underlay and CLEANED carpet and decided what the heck might just paint the floor. Today - prepared and painted floor of canopy MB (was going to do it yesterday but the rain woul...

Thanks Dave I am just wrapped at present but still cant work out how to post a pic on here so as I can show you all.

Yes I nearly crashed the Commadore when he told me and I waited a couple of days before I told hubby, but he was ok and realizes they are like hens teeth. The Obriens bloke has done his best to find secondhand one but they dont exist as I already new so am stuck with the price if I want that roadwor...
