Restauration (restoration)
« on: November 24, 2003, 07:48:22 »
Anyone who can recommend some good books describing restauration of my -65 230 SL? I need to do some welding and change a fender or two + div. part of the body. :)

This is a video of a restoration of a W113.  I have not seen it, but others here have and can probably comment on it.

I purchased the video and have seen it twice. The first time it put me to sleep. Literally. It may be of some use to someone, but in my opinion, it won't teach anyone how to restore a w113 or any car for that matter. If someone in the contiguous 48 states wants it...I'll mail it to them. Maybe they can get some use out of it. Just email me your mailing address. No charge. It's an NTSC VHS.

Tom Clups video is excellant , and lets not forget tom writes for Auto Restorer an excellant publication lets give tom some orders for his hard work. He deserves our respect as a perfessional  auto restorer and automotive writer. A true hands on person.

I understand this video is now available on DVD as well, in case anyone is planning to order it.

For a pretty exhaustive list of books and manuals, also take a look at the homepage, the publications page: http://www.sl113.org/publications.asp
