Hello.

I just want to say hello to everybody.
I just recently purchase a 1999 Silver AMG C43 with 189k. I got it for $1700.00 but she needs lots of work. The previous owner didn't really care about the car.
I'm going to be asking lots of questions regarding about my car. I'm pretty competent and mechanically incline on how to work on these cars. Again i just wanted to say hello.

Hi and welcome aboard. What needs to be done to your 43? What have you done to it since you purchased a great piece of machinery. It's pretty much bullet proof with some regular maintenance. What's the rust on the bodywork?
Keep us informed and there is plenty of competent people around on here, who have seen many things...
