It's Alive! 65 230SL
« on: June 20, 2011, 16:47:24 »
Finally got my 65 230SL running! Took it up the road with a step stool for a drivers seat. What a sight that must have been but I didn't care. I was just happy to get it moving!
No front glass yet. Interior done but not installed, Bodywork done but no paint yet. All suspension and brakes new and done.

Hope to get the rest of it done before PUB so I can drive it up there!!

Will post some more pics soon.

Wish me luck!

Jeff

Show us some pics. The unfinished product is oftentimes more beautiful than the completed car.
