and this is just a small collection of what jou can find over there , we can spend hours and hours searching after parts , its heaven 

[guyke]

done som cleaning at the car and removed the interior for refurbishing , the floor bottom is in real bad condition , and need to be renewed , i hate to do metal works its the only thing im not good at

[guyke]

its not because you dont hear anymore from me that i have stopped to work at the pagoda , ow no , i started at the renewing of the bottom , but everytime i cut out a peace of floor i found a new other rotten piece , and i dont like to do half work , im not a metal worker so it takes time for me to do the job propper and clean , i menaged to find al the new bottoms at sls shop , they have a great quality metal sheets , i sandblasted the whole bottom so al the rusty parts  get exposed , this winter i wil finish the metal job and prep the car for painting , and im half way doing the interior panels , more pics on al that later

Wow, great pictures and great work on your 280S W108.
I'm sure your Pagoda will also look like that, once you are done.
Keep it up Guyke!
