Compton Coupe Mercedes w111 FlachkÃ...
As it is at the moment...It's been mostly about hibernation lately...the thing slowly turning into a barn-find of a sort...
They tell me the dust adds to the value though...so no worries I guess?

Here's my latest barn find 170S Mercedes-Benz. Comes complete with 10cm on rat droppings on the floor. Does that make it a ratrod?

"Barn find" Sharknose
What makes a barn find? Liberal amount of dust, debris, chicken shit and of course the barn? Can you find something that was never lost? I think you cannot so this is not really a barn find. Just parked in a barn for a winter and then some.

BMW Boomer Well well, what do you know! How long has it been like that? -
Americana Running when parked... one careful owner...always garaged...never run in rain...and all that jazzzz! -
Andreas Boomer, I'd say a day of TLC. Depends if the carbs need to come out for an autopsy or not. Other than that, brakes, fluids and petrol hoses should do the trick.
-
Andreas as well as new tyres, naturally.
-
Andreas Oh, you asked how long like that, sorry my bad, since 2005 I guess.
GPS to analogical speedo
A lot of people seem to be struggling with transmission upgrade caused speedo problems. I found a great example of how to tackle the problem with GPS to old speedo mod. https://evmini.ca/post/41472767634/mechanical-to-electronic-speedometer-conversion

Mid engined Mustang
Corvette C8 destroyed the make, right?
That's a load of crap C8 is the best ever Vette -period. Imagine if Ford would have been brave enough to push on with this 1967 mid engined Mustang. How cool would that have been?

Mercedes 300SL Gullwing vs Triumph ...
300SL Gullwing may be great many things but it's far from ideal weapon of choice when taking a tight apex on race track. As demonstrated by our here struggling to keep the TR2 behind with its swing axles tucking under.

Hans Baumaster This is true, however, 300SL roadster as well as 190SL and feeble later Pontons had the much improved low pivot one. joint rear axle.
-
-
Andreas having done that in a car with traditional swing axles I do relate 100%. A roadster was a huge improvement. Then again next to Jaguars new E-type with proper IRS it was all a bit of tushery
Maserati Biturbo Resurrection Tales
Dropped in the bonnet, closing it there was a hissing sound from one gas strut...closing again the same hiss from the other corner soon followed by leaking fluid..what are the odds?

Nemo Bloody hell, how did you do it? The color really elevates the car. Such a sharp design now! -
Andreas Thanks! Sharp is the word, while I would not call it a beautiful car the design is super clean and sharp. And yes I'm extremely happy with the colour I chose. The other option would have been light metallic green. In hindsight it would not have been this
-
Adam This?

Andreas This ...sophisticated...
Jaguar E-type S1 FHC Nose Job
A huge part of the car's exterior consists of the bonnet. It's hardly as surprise that it's also a mammoth task to restore one. Unless you have money burning holes in your pocket as new items are available for the cheque book restorer. My equity is made of sweat though.
