replacing fenders
« on: February 04, 2012, 15:28:18 »
About a year ago I was searching some information to replace the fenders from a 69er 280SL , now almost 12 months further , I would like to show what is been done  ;D  and what still needs to be done .
My planning and target is to start driving the car July 2013 , so I still have some time.
first picture is showing a picture from the car when I bougt it ( I was informed regarding the poor condition from the body ) .
2) replacing the complete front
3) side panels under the door ready to be replaced 
4) floor panels being replaced

at this moment , I have the trunk area also under complete refurbishing . One of these days , I will post some more details from the trunkside also .
