What is the last thing you bought for your Pagoda?

[festeem]

I had 2 granite small plates made here in Vietnam. 1 with NL and 1 with the year 1971.
This will be installed at the back. Do not know where yet. Paid 5 euro. I went over to the Netherlands
last week, and had a test drive after the automatic overhaul and the repair of the seats.
Just awesome. First test with 40 miles and slowly faster. After 3 hrs at 75/80. It felt very good.
More than good after the automatic overhaul. 1 picture when I was at my daughters place.
When I came back in HCM, I had a look at green leather here at Rosanna.
Soft and cheap. So I will go back to them and get me 4 square mtr. Just for small repairs on the
interior. The green leather color fits perfect, as my sunshade's are white and I do not like this.
This I will change to green. Also the inside of the hardtop I want to change to green leather.
It is black now and does not look nice.
Attached the pictures from the plates.

The last FUN thing I bought for the car was a Becker Europa TR with the small face to replace the blaupunkt currently installed.  It took nearly a year to find this radio at a price that I would pay - came from ebay in germany.  In the process I acquired about 8 other Beckers, some small face and some big face before the radio I really wanted came along.

The last dull thing I bought was some stupid lever that moves when you push the handle for the top cover release - it was worn and I had that part of the car apart anyway...

Oh, and I got new rubber mounts for the fuel pump.  Whoopee!!!

Hi all
The last thing I bought for my Pagoda was the hard top soft cover and the box replacement that goes between the seats. I am still thinking about the hard top holder and possibly alloy rims, but that would be for next year...

A new softtop - looks amazing and the rear window is actually transparent!

Suspension Trunion - upper front right kingpin to wishbone and a pair of Michelin MXVs for the back

Hopefully I will now get it past the inspection before Friday

Just ordered some sunvisors from Kay to replace my beaten up looking originals. Can't wait as I think they'll give the car a lift

[Witt]

.....not to burst your bubble Alf, but the sunvisors have no aerodynamic affect on the car......

CHEERS !
WITT !

A second hand fan switch for our 230SL from a wrecker - complete with light and knob  - it looks and feels to operate perfectly - for $10  (off a finnie). I`m heading back there on Saturday with a bigger tool box!

Get the wiper motor ( I think only the 4 cyl cars use same as ours?) and arms too!

A new fire wall pad and a soft top frame from a parts car.  Installed a GAHH soft top.  The weather strip channel was missing on the frame so I had to buy it.  The drivers side rear piece is no longer available and would have to be made in Germany.  I made several calls and found a NOS one from BUDs in Ga.  This was his last one.  I am lucky to have a few contacts to find the rare parts.

Indeed

Get the whole wiper mech if you can. RHD mechs are impossible to find. By mech i mean everything between the motor and the spindles

All new Fluids, even Brake System Flush, all new Filters. Even the small fuel screen in the fuel pump inlet.

All in preparations for its long winters nap

A new exhaust system showed up - although it did not fit under the tree!
