[Scottcorvette]

Wow, I've never seen anything like that!

[guyke]

there must be over 1000 cars over there , oldtimers , joungtimers and todays cars , mercedes only , we know the seller almoast 20 jears , its a privilage and a trust i had to build up whit the seller otherwise jou are not alowed at his private collection , problem is that prices from pagodas went up so fast that the seller does not want to sell any parts anymore , sometimes he is buying projects and need the parts himself , next time i take a better camera , my phone does not take so good pictures 

[Jonny B]

Aftermarket stuff ....


Achim

[guyke]

i dont know achim , even if jou look after this aftermarket i would not know how to call them , we spotted them on a 6.3 w108 , maybe it is a rare option on these big engine types , we also found original paper holders to fit on the back from the driver and pasenger  seat whit a chrome edge , but it was a little bit to kitschy  so i did not took them , sometimes we get surprised wat rare options there are on these old cars , the bigger the petrol engines the better the options are ( like chrome and airco and air suspention etc ....)

[guyke]

today i started to work on the pagoda , could not resist , she is always looking so sadly when i enter the garage
wat did we do today
i gave her a full service , oil , filters , spark plugs , i rebuilted the second hand petrol pump , what a simpel pomp is that to rebuild 
i took out the shifting knob ans stick to find out why there was so many play on that stick , i found out that al buschungs were worn out and simply fall out
disambeled the headlights and started to clean them , they wil need a full restauration ( i wil try to crome the mirrors myself using a do it jourself chrome kit  )
did a check on the presurre from eatch cylinder , there is one that produces only 6 bar , al the rest is around 10 , maybe if i adjusted the inlet and outlet valves the pressure may be better on that one cylinder
after checking everything and remounting everything i try to start the car , but almoast no petrol is comming out the tank , the old gassoline just left a goopy smudge in the tank , so i took the tank out the car , tommorow i wil clean that using a concrete milling machine and a good degreaser
today i found out also that the gasoline  pump is cooled down by gasoline , there was gassoline in the electrical part of the pump ?? , internet saved me and it was a releave that the pump was not dammaged

[guyke]

rebuild gasoline pump
old sparkplugs versus new , after checking and adjusting the new ones  on 0.80 i replaced them

[guyke]

today i brougd away the gas tank , the coating in the tank was coming loose , so al that has to been removed , we have a company that cleaned gas tank , they put the tank in a verry agressif product , it stays the whole night in , the product is so agressif that even rust get removed , if the tank is in bad shape that causes holes in the tank , luckly my tank is solid , they clean it and paint it , so its like new , i wil also let them do my radiator
and i sandblasted the air filter house and painted it in primer , tomorow i wil paint it in black ( final coating )
and like this we do every day a little bit at the sl 

[guyke]

did some work on the pagoda today 
cleaned the engine bay , took out the radiator , thats going to the man thats specialised in radiator repair and fuel tank repair
took out the batterie holder , and sandblasted that , tomorow im gone repair that , and repaint it , disambled one door , im gone give the panel to a friend that works in wood , he is gone make me 2 door panels in cardboard , emailed one persone today ho is making the original springs for the seats , and ordered some parts for the fuel tank , at this speed normaly i wil drive the car this summer already 

[guyke]

radiator out , and batterie holder out and sandblasted and engine bay cleaned

[guyke]

found this plate while cleaning the engine bay , what does it means

[Garry]

Its the Body and Paint Number Plate.

See here
https://www.sl113.org/wiki/DataCard/BodyandPaintNumberPlate

[bogeyman]

It means it was originally a white car with a green hardtop. Left hand drive, manual transmission delivered originally to Germany.

[guyke]

its still a white car , so the color white is papyruss white or what type of white , the hartop is now  papyrus white , i want to make the car back original , green hardtop  , what a strange combination , the car is delivered in germany that is was aware , and 4 speed left hand drive , do jou see also the color of the interior on that plate ?

[bogeyman]

050 White is not the same as Papyrus white. No interior info on the data plate, you would need to get the data card from MB.
