Awesome looking car. I bet it took sometime to get her to this point.

All you need to do is get rid of those wheel arch chrome rust inducers.   :o :o ;D

The museum car has many other faults - nice colour though.

Speaking of colour - hopefully in 12 months time when my project car is complete I can give an unbiased opinion on 'Blue' vs 'Red'. Until then, the blues have it......  ;D

Cheers

A fault is in the eye of the beholder.

Ruby is certainly a very beautiful colour, like many of the Mercedes metallic finishes. I have always called my Tunis Biege Metallic '68 280SlL "Goldie" for obvious reasons and, while it remains my favourite colour for the 113, I think the red metallics are just as beautiful, especially with the lovely bamboo interior.
