Right guys this is my new project that I literally picked up last night after agreeing a price with the old owner last week.

Lots of plans including fully re-painting the whole in white, air ride & possibly a set of split rims,also will be running white walls on the original wheels.

Last night picking the car up.





And a few from before when I first looked at the car.













This is just a brief write up for the moment which I will edit later on.

Lots more to come so watch this space.

What a great platform to start out with, looks clean and the interior is sweet. Definitely look forward to seeing this one!

I like the black roof with the white paint and red interior! Looks great. Have fun

That interior! I also love the early doors with the wing windows!

One of my very favorite MB chassis. Will be watching!

I forgot about those windows!! They really dont make cars like they used. Those small details are so fucking cool. I would never drive this car WITHOUT first lighting a cigar.

I know the windows are a very very cool detail.
