Mercedescossy, what wheels are they, they are really suited to the 190. ZINC, do you get pulled much with plates like that Colour looks lovely bet its even nicer in the flesh.

Looks mint, the alloys are good too, smaller size wheel with a solid tyre looks just right.. Nice touch with the calipers too. Spotless LE too, interesting to see the two blue cars together.. I like your drive Jenson, two nice 190's, all paved, stack of tyres, you just need one up on axle stands now and your sorted

T Hopefully will be arranging to pick up the new engine back end of next week Then me and mercedescossy (bless him) will putting it in and his mate will be welding in new rear arches. After that it'll be getting the paintwork sorted, refurb the wheels, sort the interior, rebuild suspension front and back, fit new exhaust etc etc :lol: Primary goal will be to get her on the road again and fully useable, then reassess what i do with the trusty Sportline as she is now healthy again. i suspect i'll need the funds to go into the cossie did try to borrow the "Holiday Money" and recieved a clout for even suggesting it :lol:
