My restoration story video_worth a look

Hello All,
I spent a good deal of time recently creating an iMovie delineating my 230SL restoration.
This is part one. There are three more still in the works, describing the interior refitting,
the paint job, and a bonus reel of miscellaneous stuff.

Hey Larry. I love it! When BB King started to sing his signature hit, I had to laugh…we all have been at that point of self doubt while getting a sleeper back on the road. Can’t wait to see the other three vids.

Wow, and all in the driveway so far! Seems like it sat with the wrong type of, or way too expired, coolant. Looking forward to the next episode.

Larry,
Yes, laughed and cried at what you are reporting on. Love the "First trip" in Cali. With the gas prices where they are now, 100 ft may be the new norm!
