I just purchased my first MBG (1977).

The reason for it is I am getting married in September and I wanted that to be "our" (my) car. She agreed to it!! :D

So,
It needs some minor work to get it road ready. Does anyone know of a decently priced mechanic in the southern NH, Northern MA area?

Things the car needs:

Tune up
Front right spine
4 tires
electrical diagnostic (lights are not working)
Two tears in cover need repair.


Things I want to do:
Remove rubber, install chrome bumper (and grill)
change out wheels (currently, poorly painted, white)

Can I afford all of this before my wedding????? Probably not.

Any ideas?
 
Hi There KBrass,

"Welcome" to "THEE" best LBC (Little British Cars) site anywhere.

Of course you could afford all the parts you need just don`t let your finance know about it!! She just may want a new Kitchen, Dining Room, Living Room & B`room set. At least thats what my wife always used to say; "Well, You bought a new top for your car so I feel I should get something"!!

Best Wishes with your car & new Wife.

Regards, Russ
