I am not a great person to sell a car to at times. This is how it goes... I wait until you have had the car up for long enough you list it on eBay then I demand to see the car when its least convenient for you, so your brother has to come let me have the keys then I wait until you just about have it sold on eBay and give you the full "defo 'ave it brah" routine. Probably by text, cos thats classy. I will then try insist that stuff which isn't for sale is included with the car. Then I disappear for a week or more. Then I come see you at some odd time of the night, give you cash and leave the car where it is. then three weeks will pass before I make a few halfassed attempts to get the car collected before eventually someone drags it over to my place for me. Tadah! Project "Another Fine Mess" can now finally begin. Props to Bignut for the transport and DTHP for putting up with me being the most useless car buyer eVaH.

B&W is because at night no flash / long exposure where I live turns every shot orange! Rather than mess about trying to get the tones right in photoshop I just B&W'd 'em. both those were taken in the pitch black with no flash. something like a 45 sec shutter @ ISO100 & about f/4
I'm confused, you selling or keeping the 300C?

Well today we got so far as charging the battery, and these terminals show why it probably wasn't charging so well... gotta clean those funkers PDQ. But now the thing is holding 12.9V so maybe its going to start off it tomorrow... other thing was the suspiciously bald rear tyres - while the front ones were OK... Hmmm... This is the "good" one out back... you should have seen the other one... and the alloys were stuck to the hubs so bad I was pulling and kicking the damn thing so hard that I thought the sod was coming off the jack... Ended up with 2 bigger hammers than the one in the pic (deadblow) Anyway, I got a pair of slightly lower profile tyres for it, so I had to swap 'em all round. But result of the day was a pair of good partworns for £15 inc fitting and ballancing Managed to get about a dozen litres of fresh petrol into it too. What with all the arzin about fetching and carrying and trying to get the "stuck" wheels off I didn't get much else done.

Cheers for that.
Today more progress. I had an afternoon to play on the car so I gave it a decent service - plugs, rotor, cap, fuel/oil/air filters, oil, coolent, found a spare battery which holds a charge and wobbed up the silencer with Gungum.
Also started what appears to be a lengthy clean up process...
Sunday is Mother's Day so I won't be doing anything with it then.
