yeah well it was not really his doing...he was stopped and someone liked the back end of it a speed...folded the floor under the car and bent the back of the roof down.the back on the car was almost on the ground which was impressive as it had a 2" lift and A/T on it so it was far from low...other car had no insurance eather....he was gutted after flying up and driving it home..he really loved it

Musical steering wheel cover and dual cup holders on the dash next to the instrument surround, and where the paint was missing on the tailgate, about the size of a twenty cent piece, a self adhesive M/B badge covered it nicely.
And not forgetting a custom bonnet release cable hanging out of the grill because it broke and was too short to go back in.

not really sure short of having one made....dont think you can buy them at least not in australia.....may stand a chance in the US?Brumble wrote:Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions as to what I can do to repair or preferrably replace the chrome strip that runs around the top of the tray? The car is almost finished being painted and it seems a shame to put the old crappy dinted strip back on.
