My W202 blog and my new C43
Being 50 going on 17.
That's great dude!
YOU don't even know what I mean about rat holes?
YOU Idiot fool!
If PJ decides to go further with sensor mod, he needs to run the wires through the firewall.
Firewall is full of holes plugged with grommets, if he doesn't plug water will enter cabin and soak his mats and it will eventually rust on the floor.
Firewall has lots of holes and rats can chew their way into the cabin through grommet plugs.
PJ is an easy going guy, he did not take any offense he understood what I meant, BUT you are totally different!
You must be a wiseguy from the bario?
That's cool with me.
Chill out!
And my bad PJ to be having this posted on Your blog

I will do a full respray and try to update as much stuff to brand new as possible(mostly all the rubbers and trims)
Also Im trying to find someone to go all around and do paint less dent removal on the whole car. I dont want any bondo on the car.

I cleaned it with warm water and soap for now. I will hit it with proper leather cleaner and let it soak in conditioner.
Also cleaned all the exposed areas and plastics and even hit the rails a bit.
Also cleaned one of the fog lights for now, will obviously get to the other one.
My wheels were powder coated but they didn't turn out as good as I expected so I told the shop to take their time and redo them.

But yeah paintless dent removal is awesome...
Nice job on all the work. This summer I have my black C43 I want to restore. Always loved the way your black C43 looked.

Restoring w202s is pure fun man. They are so easy to work on and you really learn to apreciate and love these cars more as you find out how they are built.

Before
After
I like black cars.
The black c36 was my DD for about 5 years and I kept it polished. I painted the black Vette myself and it took me 3 years of off/on again work, but final result is worth it.




Is there something in specific you guys want me to show or talk about?
