Noob in Nor Cal. So Unfortunately a little over a year ago my brother passed away. And with that said, he had this 95 M addition almost since new. But when he feel sick the car was sitting for over five years outside. So with a lot of cleaning and tons of maintence here it is. My wife hates it. LOL. Calls it a bitch bucket amongst other bad things. Wants me to get read of it but I've told her that ain't going to happen as I'm keeping it out of sentimental reasons. Had a lot of fun with my brother in this car

So I hope to learn a lot and get this car sorted out. Here are some pictures last summer after I started cleaning it up.







And now after more detailing.

 

Sorry to hear about your brother's passing, but it's good to know that you're going to keep the car going in his memory. Onwards and upwards!

What are your plans for it?

Welcome aboard the MT express!

 

Since I am a perfectionist, my plans are to continue to keep cleaning it up and replacing things that are worn or just don't look nice. The major things I want to do is put a roll bar in and of my own design frame rail braces and X-bars. Strip the body down, do the bodywork and repaint. And last, tune on the motor to make it the best performing M45 it can be. LOL.

 

I'd start by replacing the radiator. And while you have the cross over pipe out to do that, you might as well completely remove the supercharger.

 

Yep a new radiator is high on the priority list. But why would I want to go and do something silly and remove the Supercharger?

 

To make room for a turbo of course!
