Work in Progress - 230SL

[franjo_66]

This has been a long journey but I'm getting there. I'm the proud owner of a 1966 230SL (auto RHD). Has undergone a fairly extensive restoration. Aiming to have her on the road by the end of this year.

here are a few shots:

Looks like some nice work going on.  Look forward as I know you do to seeing the final product.

Thanks Jeff. I didn't think it was going to be such an involving project, but the worksmanship has been excellent.

fingers crossed that she'll be ready by December

Hi franjo,
She's lucky to have you, I hope you intend on keeping her.
Keep posting updates.

Thanks Kemal, I will definitely keep her for a long time, and hope to pass her onto my kids when they start driving (still a while away !).

Somehow I think we are lucky to have each other. Working on her is very therapeutic !

Best Regards
Franjo
