Title: Work in Progress - 230SL
Post by: franjo_66 on October 30, 2007, 17:24:38

This has been a long journey but I'm getting there. I'm the proud owner of a 1966 230SL (auto RHD). Has undergone a fairly extensive restoration. Aiming to have her on the road by the end of this year.

here are a few shots:

Thanks Jeff. I didn't think it was going to be such an involving project, but the worksmanship has been excellent.

fingers crossed that she'll be ready by December

Thanks Kemal, I will definitely keep her for a long time, and hope to pass her onto my kids when they start driving (still a while away !).

Somehow I think we are lucky to have each other. Working on her is very therapeutic !

Best Regards
Franjo
