I would be up front and explain providing full details of the engine change. only joking whilst I like to different burn all records and scatter the ashes.

I've no idea mate I've never had one in but I'd say in that colour combo it's not going to be as desirable as a black/cream or white/black one. I think Silver is more saleable when it comes to MB but with the red seats? I dunno. Black/red I can see. I think he's stronging it wanting £5k for that, he could stick that up privately for that but he probably doesn't want to do that cos it's aggro. Why not get £5k out of you and not do any work for it. This fella has had his in since May and I think he's overpriced by £500. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201710270696470 I think it's £6k in that silver/red combo and £4.5k to him. But there again I can't sell silver cars for toffee so maybe i'm biased.

WBAC for bottom. It's got to have the airscarf for cool desirabilty. FMBSH is very desirable, silver and red leather is highly desirable in my book.

keep moving it and keep it away enough so you dont bubble the paint this way a localised repair on a bumper end is so easy i blend down the lacquer to nearly pure thinners on the last coat so the buffing is minimal but its rare you will not need to do some cutting in unless all panel lacquered

my take

it would be dependant on weather when i mix my own 2 pack lacquer i can get it to be buffable in 20 minutes with the heat gun,i have 2 different types of infra red panel heaters but they can easily cause problems with underlying paint

I think so! Once the tin is opened I think it mixes the 2pack and off you go. Others may know more though.

For me personally I would never look twice at an advert that states new engine fitted however good the workmanship was. Yes I know there’s a chance I’ve owned a car that’s had major work done at some point but i’d rather not know about it. Lets face it even for a qualified mechanic it’s a bit like building Ikea furniture. You always end up with a few bits left over.

As above. Never mention new engines, rebuilds, gearboxes, resprays etc. It will scare off the punters if you do. Weird, but true.

People love an update, I finally sold the wretched Clio at the weekend. 145 days. Never again. It put my average days to turn up from 27 days to 30, the bastard. Glad to see the back of it.

I think this is the first case I’ve heard of where planning has been approved?
