Dutch 230 SL Pagode 1965 restoration project
EeVeeWee:
Here are the first pictures of my new project, the restoration of a Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagode (Pagoda) from 1965.
It's imported from Texas, USA and I'm not sure yet but it seems it still has the original paint.
At least the engine is till original.
Unfortunately the paint has already been sanded and many parts have been removed from the car, I bought the car like this.
It is certain that I won't use the 30 years old tires any more. ;D
But a nice surprise was that the soft top is in a good shape.
cabrioletturbo:
Looks like an awesome start. Congrats and good luck with the resto journey!
Chris_ATL:
Is there any rust? If not that's a great solid start!
EeVeeWee:
Yes there is some rust at the chassis and floor.
Tomorrow I will hunt for that. ;D
BlackJack:
A winter project?
It's probably on very wide tires but that first photo sure shows off a nice stance. I like it. It's got character. I am keen to see how you progress and even more so what the end result will be. I know I will have to be patient :)
Just had my top down yesterday and enjoyed what may very well be the last nice day of our Indian summer in NL.
