Yes, it's magic - well, elbow grease and hard work....and yes, your car has already had a mention. Unfortunately, it looks as though you're located in Melbourne (Sydney would be preferable !), but that doesn't mean that you cannot enjoy TK for what it is, and vice versa...and, perhaps one day, we may actually get the opportunity to meet up with you personally.

More progress.
95% of the interior is now finished, a few minor trim panels to deal with yet. I am happy with the results so far.

WOW she looks so good! So through all your work can you recommend any paint/chrome/plating/trimming services and suppliers? Nearly there...

 

[Michel]

Coming along very nicely.

My choice of colour combo!

Would love to see more of your car. I think its one of the most exciting projects I have seen with a W116 in years. So far the work is amazing. Geoff

OK.....after a tragic 2014 with personal circumstances which sent me into into a depressive state of mind. The wishes of my recently departed wife are being honored.
MERCAR is now ready for it's first appearance in public at a local car show this weekend, Still work in progress, but am determined to finish it now.
