Ok so you all know I am trying to get my 250sl up and running.. while I figure out the (wrd, ignition, fuel injectors etc etc etc... ) I am slowly piecing back together the missing pieces. keep in mind that this is by no means a show car....
today I got a set of hub caps in the mail, taped and painted them. not ba for 80$ delivered. Not sure if they are the correct wheel covers for the car, but they snap on great and seem period correct.
I also bought some interior panels and a seat bracket to put the passenger seat back together. If anyone has any used seat covers let me know... it would be a waste to put new ones in the car.... i dont think it would look correct...
here are the paint pics...

What color is your interior?

my interior is a golden brown tanish color.... it is not as nice as this sample pic, but I think this is the color....

Those are the same wheel covers that are on my '71. Mine had a lot of rash on the edges (rusty looking scrapes and small dents). I took a small punch and tapped the small dents out as best as possible from the back side, then ground it smooth with a grinder and 120 grit paper. Progressed finer up to about 600 grit and then polished with a stainless steel buffing kit from Harbor Freight. They turned out great. The rash is completely gone. It's a little messy because a lot of black is produced from polishing stainless steel.
