Yeah I reckon I'd feel the same! :eek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7At48rRs4c&feature=related

And this one just makes you wanna cry.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf_j9z-JCa4&feature=related :(:(

WOW guys this is real dedication!! :D The rust was really taking hold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OGlV6WcquU&feature=related Bet someone here knows the owner....

Ever wondered what's going on underneath that driver's seat? Why does it sag so much? These were spares that I disassembled for (some) parts. Broken springs where someone's attempted a repair: Note the difference in the height between left and right sides (around 70mm)! I know MB...

Well here's two pics of the filter which should explain all: And the oil that I use: Not to be confused with: Or (no I wouldn't use this in a MB). I was going to use this in my Ford, but I decided against it, as it's not semi-synthetic:

Not sure about the wheels... Looks like a Euro; pity it's not a manual (or a V8)! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/120805369673?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Slightly improved, with some rust repairs. I recognised the car by the unique aircleaner (the snorkle has been shortened)! I missed out on buying the car when it was last for sale in Lilydale... Hopefully someone else can rescue the old girl 'cause my garage is full! :p...

Well I priced some filters yesterday and boy what a difference between the cheapest and the dearest: MB: $100, Imparts: $75+tax, Hanvic: $35+tax. Yes the Hanvic ones don't come with O-rings (or washers), but there's no way MB can justify $65 for them! Apparently Hanvic haven't carried the...

Here's another for sale; has anyone had a look yet? :rolleyes: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130594849214?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

If any of mine get to this point I'll seriously consider pulling the engine out.... BTW well done Styria for such a comprehensive series of pics and dialogue!

Yes I gave them new names! I dragged Blue Flame from the garage and gave her a wash. Preliminary list of repairs has been undertaken. The workshop shall be ready soon, so I can have a look at the can of worms (hopefully not tin worm) underneath. And yes I'll check the offset of the wheels...

Well I dragged her out of the barn the day before last and treated her to a wash. While doing so, I checked her over and started a list of repairs. When the workshop's set up in the next week or so I'll put her on stands and do a closer inspection. I think the wheels are genuine AMG 16 x...

OMG $48K!! Apart from the white writing on the tyres.... Ohh yeah!! :cool: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mercedes-benz-560-SL-1986-SUIT-PAGODA-190-230-280-BUYERS-/330622072470?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item4cfa9c7696

Might be of some interest: http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/information/fitting_chart/mercedes-benz At least this table lists the W116 (scroll down to the very bottom), although it gives no indication if other offsets will fit (ie anything above 30P). Or what's the widest wheel that won't...

Looks immaculate, but it'd wanna be for the price. And it's not even registered! :eek: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180738945949?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Ladies & Gents let me introduce you to my gold 450SEL (28414). I bought her with my last 6.9 as a parts car. Although she looks nice, she's an old one (still not sure of the build date) with an average interior, D-Jet injection and rust in at least 3 doors, the boot seal channel, boot lid...

I'd say it's the transmission that was put into this '54 Buick (from a G55), but then again, so was everything else! Just have a look at the looms that were transferred over!!! :eek::eek: http://www.radrides.com/proj.htm The security features would be incorported in the ECU/s for the...

I think that 8 speeder I was talking about was in the Lexus ISF and according to TG it sounded like errrrr, ahhhhh, errrrrrr, ahhhhh, errrrrr!!! :p I think the cost of the TH700 conversion is prohibitive, simply based on the cost of the adapter from Big Boys!! :eek: Motec (or anyone else)...

If you had the choice of any transmission to sit behind an M100, what would it be and why? How many gears would be ideal? Top Gear mentioned that some of the 8 speeders were no good, as the transmissions couldn't decide on a gear! I know this has been mentioned in other threads, but I thought...

So far it's commanding a decent price: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/300607183090?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Nice colour and very good condition, but a brown interior's not for me! :)
