Title: Kind of getting there....!!!
Post by: derin100 on March 29, 2009, 20:43:05

Well, after many months of uncovering and then rectifying various horrors...many of which were down to previous slipshod work by so-called 'specialists'...we're kind of getting there with the restoration:

Also some "During" shots....

That's quite a job! Thanks for sharing it with us... (BTW: what's it doing on a BMW site? You could have been a featured car here!)

Thanks!

That site is my own BMW site and this car is the very first Mercedes Benz I have ever taken on! Although I now also have a W129 'on the mend'.

I have a few more "during" shots to add plus also a few "before" shots. the interesting thing is that the before shots don't necessarily look that different from the "after" shots!

There's still a bit to go with the Pagoda but I'l have to keep plugging away myself now that the major work has been addressed.......

That is extremely clean. What amount of man hours do you think went into it overall?

3.5 months at 8 hours/day.
