I just can’t believe someone would consciously do this to a car, stand back and think “shit that looks unreal” WTF was this bloke thinking? I’m guessing this is why it is priced so low. I’ve had quotes between $5k - $8k to get this crap off this stunningly beautiful car...

Another big job, Looking forward to seeing the progress on this one.

Big job mate. Looks like you are pretty organised though.

Wow. An old pic in an old sticky photo album. Great memories

Very cool mate. Can’t wait to see them on the car.

Sean, A charge air cooler is the correct term for what we most know the item as an “intercooler” This device is like a big radiator (air to air) where in the first instance the compressed hot air direct from the turbo charger impeller (turbine is the hot part of the turbocharger that is driven...

Sean, Be careful as any engine running more boost that it’s design allows, can be catastrophic. The main things are. Turbo charger failure. Charge air cooler (intercooler) failure. Destroying bottom end bearings. Cylinder head, and cylinder head gasket damage. Does your car run a charge air...

Not wrong mate. It would be great.

Gents. Not that this is for sale, however a mate of mine picked this up from a barn out west for $500. Just needed a battery, service and tyres. The rest is pretty mint he said. Sorry about the crappy pics. If I get to see it in person, I will get some better ones.

Insulating material, or built up dust/dirt Bryce?

Getting there mate. The paint looks 2m deep, beautiful paint.

Good job mate, Glad you are happy :p

Simply stunning Michel. Amazing image. I’m sure a large version of this will be framed and make it to a wall somewhere?

Very interesting read Brian.

A mate of mine Dennis who used to be the MB club president has a petrol green 560SL. I was lucky enough to have a good look at it at his place a couple of years ago. I’d love to buy that amazing car from him one day.

What a truely beautiful car mate. Stunning in fact.

Great story Bryce of a very special car. Any images of it “pre Skippy”?

I’m one hundred percent with you on this Brian. I was just trying to give reason why they are now coming up with the crap they are now coming up with, as you said after this much experience, they should be at the top of the heap. Not to mention, their “loaner” has really put a bad taste in...

Brian, He was right about safety for the driver to see all four corners of the vehicle. However, this then allowed the driver to be vulnerable as safety started to creep in, while pushing motoring pleasure slightly to the side. Not only do we now cocoon the driver in a safety cell, with numerous...

As I am not familiar with this car Brian has reported on, I guess others maybe as well. Here is a pic and some specs. I see what you mean about the seats Brian. A short arse like me may be ok, but I can see why a tall chap like yourself would have massive issues getting comfortable in this...
