My Project

I've just gone mad and bought a 1982 280GE LWB. It's right hand drive and I live in the south of France, but it was local...

It's only got 26000 on the clock and I think it may be correct, the interior is very tidy and the seats are unworn.

My first job was tackling the loose fan belt, which was a bigger job than I had thought. I ended up removing the alternator to get to the rear bolt on the alternator support bracket as it wouldn't pivot, now its tight but screeching, I think its completely the wrong belt so I'll search for the correct one.

The car is a green colour which is cleaning up ok. It has very bad rust on the nearside rear quarter, which seems to be a common problem so I'll look to change this out, the petrol cap side is ok. 

I checked out the rear shock absorber supports and there is no sign of rust there, so good news.

It needs a new rear light and the exhaust is blowing at the rear. So not too bad.

There is rust in the sills and where the front wing meets the side panel, but I don't think these are structural? so maybe I can just use filler and fibfre glas?

I've attached picture so watch this spece for progress!!
