Title: New Member Introduction
Post by: JulianReid on January 25, 2023, 18:55:51

My name is Julian Reid and I am a new member of the forum.  I have been restoring various Mercedes for the past 40 years.  I have completed about (12) 111 Convertibles, (2) 111 Coupes, (2) 190SLs, and I just bought my first 113 about 4 months ago.  I have also built (2) Replicas of a 1955 Mercedes Gullwing.

My 113 is a 1966 230SL, original California car, very rust free. I just finished the paint work on it and painted it a beautiful pearl white (sorry if that offends the Mercedes purists on this forum, but that's the color my wife wanted).  I am in the process of finishing up the wiring in the engine compartment, and hoping to have it running and driving in the next 30 days.   I've attached a few photos of my previous and current projects.  Thanks

Very nice work.  The white looks great.

Welcome Julian! What wheels do you have on your gullwing? Love your blue cab.
