116 Resto, project

Hello everyone...
I'm posting some pictures of my 1980 450SEL. I've spent a few months and a few thousand pennies getting her back to her former glory. She's not completely done yet; still have a few small odds and ends plus a thorough cleaning to finish her up.
However, a new paint job and re-chroming the trim has done WONDERS...

Let me know what you think. Oh, she's for sale too...but not to just anyone. Inquire if you're interested.

Will post more once I finish everything else.

Bob

Re: 116 Resto, project

Thanks Nutz. It's the original "metallic, baby-poop-after-eating-avocados" green. It has more potential than I thought.

Euro bumpers are on the horizon. Unfortunately the only place I know to get them, right now is through Adsitco in Indiana. I'm still recovering from the $10K I just spent on paint, wheels, seat covers, etc...etc. So, I'll have to take a little break and recoup some funds. However, I'm also considering selling her. Long story, and it's not what I want to do, but I may not have a choice. More to follow on this. I will actually have a few more pics once the weather gets nice again and I can do a good polish job on her and make her sparkle again. Stay tuned.

BTW, I finally found a place that has performance and lowering springs for the 116's. It's SLmarket.com. Check'em out if you decide to sling yours a little lower. I might do something like that if I end up keeping mine.

Regards...
Bob
