1964 230sl Restoration
« on: February 26, 2012, 06:33:52 »
Purchased September 2009 stripped to shell and rebuilt everything, repainted 172G. Lots of work and lots of dollars.
Drove to 'Galaxy of Cars' show in Auckland New Zealand today and won 1st prize for best presented car :)

....HAVE POSTED ADDITIONAL PHOTOS DURING RESTORATION BELOW
