Peter - I didn't see that, but I'll take another look now. Thanks.
Cees - It has been a while, but I looked at the stats page (awesome page!) and I'm still #6 in total posts! I planned to work on the 230SL this year, but a friend of the family had to unload a 1980 450SL, so I bought that and have been working on it to make it a safe, reliable car for someone to buy. I'll start dismantling the 230SL this winter for a mechanical restore in 2014. I can't afford to do interior, body work, paint, and chrome right now. I'll do the whole driveline & accessories (cooling, exhaust,...), brakes, suspension, steering, fuel system, and so forth. I want to be able to take it anywhere anytime. My goal is to get it to Tom's chili cookout in the fall of 2014.
Richard - Thanks for cleaning up the threads!
