Anyway I contacted insurance, the body shop wanted 700âŹ. I wouldâve only had to pay a 200⏠deductible. So I decided to fix that myself. However, I will not show you the un-scratched fender.
ANYWAY!!!
I look at me car and he is all red in light. Where are the Scandinavian light tones? The peace and harmony?!
Byebye shit car. You lived for 27 years and Iâd imagine most of that was fucking miserable because who wants to be a base model Polo wagon??? No funeral for this shit. Anyone wanna buy a W124 grille?
The Merc had kinda just been sitting due to the oil pressure issue. Iâve been aware of it. It was pretty much just used as an additional storage. Twingo works well! Timing belt is new and shiny and everything is good
Might eventually buy a diesel wagon, would be nice.
The W124 has three horizontal strips as you can see. Your grille has two, which the W202 also has. But well. Sell it as an universal Mercedes grille and include a roll of duct tape in the price and you will be all good.
New auxiliary light or what the fuck ever you call those. In Finnish itâs literally just âextra lightâ
Installing this was a really straightforward thing. Took like an hour, 1,5hr tops
âŚOR SO I FUCKING THOUGHT
It took me five hours and four beers to get that shit working. And now the engine is making this weird clicking sound. It sounds electric but itâs definitely coming from the engine. Or thatâs the conclusion me and my friend came to after battling with that FUCKING light. Canât be arsed to deal with the new noise now.
After the alcohol disappeared from my body, I realized these are for 93-98 Twingo. According to the site, these have no electronic adjustment. Does anyone know if this is the only difference between the pre-facelift and facelift Twingo headlights? If the wiring is the same it should work despite it being meant for a pre-facelift Twingo, or so I hope.
Since I live in Europe where the consumer has rights, I can return these within 14 days of ordering them. The site I ordered them from is not exactly known for their speedy deliveries, hence why Iâm asking now rather than waiting for them to arrive lol
It took them over a month to ship that LED 3rd brake light I bought. According to reliable sources (read: facebook) some people have been waiting for years for their orders to arrive. So as much as I hate to admit it, there might be a chance that these wonât arrive at all lol
Right so! This was the ignition coil. The replacement itself was super easy. Took me maybe 15 minutes? I did it in the parking lot of the auto part store.
And as some of you may know, Iâm a fucking idiot! As I was removing the ignition cables, I managed to break one. Thankfully I had a spare ignition cable in the rear seats.
and all I can say is holy fuck I love it. Never realized how much the height affects the looks of the car.
Oh right and I also got the new headlights and installed them. Still need to do the wiring for the angel eyes.
Itâs a heap of shit with everything broken but cost me 350âŹ. Wanted an easy flip but got this, no fucking profit to be made. Gonna drive it for the summer and then see if I can make some money. I want a car with A/C this summer. Tired of hot twingo. Need me some class, some Renault. Some 2005, some metallic blue paint.
itâs all pointless, utter bullshit. Complete madness, even.

Good, very good. Repair itâs AC and it may serve you well in summerâŚalthough seeing you are in Finland surely those donât get THAT hot.
Anyway, remove rear seatsâŚall three of them.
Why would you have friends in the back when you can have some parts for the Twingo instead?
And then when you finish with carrying parts, get some friends to help install them.
Why would you bring regular chairs when you can bring Scenic rear seats instead? They are comfier anyway, so beer slides that much nicer to the belly.
Due to some events that may require lengthy explanation, we too used to possess Scenic of that generation. It to my best knowledge didnât had sunroof, was in color that is considerably more red and had 1.6 petrol.
It wasnât exactly fault-free during relatively brief time we owned it, but I guess it did its job.
