Project LoGiK: What I am Doing & and What I need help with

LoGiK is a good example — solid chassis, clean body,  clean interior, great history —but there is still a list of jobs ahead before it's back to its best. I want, to prove that older cars are just as great and reliable as new ones.Highlighting how we should be restoring them and becoming more sustainable. 

I would like to involve readers, enthusiasts, local garages, and specialists who might want to help, advise, or even sponsor LoGiK.

This project is about the environment, teamwork, local and international community engagement, sustainability, learning, and keeping a modern classic alive!

Here's what's on the to-do list:

• Engine- even though it had a full Mercedes service history, it could do with a health check and will need a service later this year.

• Air conditioning – requires a new compressor unit and service.

• Bodywork – surface rusting arches need addressing,  this was an inherent problem with the W163 that were manufactured.

• Entertainment system – I was planning to replace the radio with a built-in COMAND satnav and hands-free system to keep the car stock. I have received mixed opinions.Any ideas welcome!

• Underbody protection – the underside is immaculate, and we want to treat it with the best long-term product Wax oil, underseal (recommendations or supplies appreciated).

• Rear black pillars – the lacquer is peeling- again another inherent problem so we're deciding between de-lacquering, re-lacquering or  wrapping after being sanded — open to advice or help.

• ULEZ - The car is ULEZ complaint. We are talking to a company that can possibly add on a further exhaust converter that will bring emissions down even further making LoGiK more green and sustainable

• Exterior Tyre Holder on the boot lid.

• Good performing tyres - current ones are Continental - a set of 5.
