For those wanting one at a reasonable price (at this stage).... I do like black interiors, but this one needs a little TLC. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/170708795548?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 :rolleyes:

An example of what not to buy. However it looks like the interior is white (although it could be just an overexposed cream) which I'd say would be quite rare. Nice too! And I'll take a stab that the speedo's in mph which could make it a Euro, or converted US model...

Nice wheels & overall condition for the money (it's an SL not SLC too). I have a feeling you'd wanna check the papers & the registry. Not sure about the bonnet...

Looks nice with those wheels and a cheap buy in my opinion... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mercedes-Benz-450-SLC-1977-sports-V8-auto-black-beauty-/190584964110?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item2c5fbfc40e :rolleyes:

Anyone interested? If we can plan it well, we could have a track day on Saturday, followed by the Bright Rod Run on Sunday. The run occurs around Melbourne Cup and is one of my favourite events. :cool: http://www.wintonmotorraceway.com.au/home/...

Nice! Looks like this was done by MB herself.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waBjA4_CZwE :cool:

Anyone who's had pay TV might be familiar with this program featuring Chip Foose. I was completely addicted until they ran out of new episodes!! Seems like the show's been cancelled, which is a shame because it was such a good concept; they created some magnificant machines (not too...

Nice! Shame about the lights n bumpers..... :rolleyes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5frWp6bzso

This video is rubbish until 2.54min..... And Michel you might be interested around 3.45min.... :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHK7J8y4q_U

I always wanted one of these: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mercedes-Benz-E280-/230668975119?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item35b4f13c0f Seems they're commanding decent money for a 6.... :rolleyes:

And I even like the colour!!! http://www.drive.com.au/used-cars/MERCEDES-BENZ/450/Adelaide/detail.aspx?id=26280549&lid=26280549&pg=1&pp=2&d=0&SG=-1141244201&pt=1 :)

I'd heard current chrome plating is softer than in days gone by, due to the chemicals being more environmentally friendly. Anyone know if there's any truth in the rumour? :rolleyes:

Many years ago the old man had some steel Ford wheels powder coated. Within 12 months they'd started to develop surface rust around seams and edges. Years later I made some enquiries into powder coating and although it sounds like a good idea, I've been told the surface is porus and as a...

Testie, check your Owners Manual for the operation of the vents. It should explain the HVAC system and what air you should get from what vents.... I'd certainly try everything else before pulling out the heater; it gives me a headache just thinking about doing it! :eek:

You all knew it was coming!!! I've always been a Ford man, but they get me sooo frustrated!!! Maybe it's the Aussie in me that roots for the underdog?? Here's why they drive me nuts (but I still won't be tempted by the dark side): Ford persisted with the leaf spring on sedans until XE...

I still think it's a vent problem in (or on the outside of) the heater box. That would explain the difference in temperature and when that's corrected (and the temps the same) you may find that it's also cold. If not, then you have another problem (probably a refridgerant leak)...

I'm thinking it's got nothing to do with the sources of hot and cold air, but more to do with the vents. Perhaps one of the flaps has jammed, the lever's broken, the foam seals have perished and dislodged, or a vaccum leak / vac servo failure that's developed? :rolleyes:
