    Coffee Table Automotive Books

    Another thread prompted me to wonder what automotive books members here would like to have on their coffee tables. One of my interests is collecting these types of books on various topics. So my nominations for what I'd like to see printed (if they don't already exist) are as follows...

    6.9 'Book'

    I seem to remember this being for sale before, but not by someone in Melbourne.... And if it's just a reprint of Wikipedia, who are they kidding?? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/250946169089?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 :mad:

    Favorite Car Colours

    Over the years many different colours have taken my fancy to paint my Buick. I think it's one of the most difficult decisions to make when rebuilding a car. I've gone from purples, to candy apple red, to black. I'm now settled on a two tone combination of blues. I've seen many standard cars...

    That sagging feeling

    Ever wondered what's going on underneath that driver's seat? Why does it sag so much? These were spares that I disassembled for (some) parts. Broken springs where someone's attempted a repair: Note the difference in the height between left and right sides (around 70mm)! I know MB...

    Black 280CE for sale

    Not sure about the wheels... Looks like a Euro; pity it's not a manual (or a V8)! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/120805369673?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    Brown 6.9 for sale again

    Slightly improved, with some rust repairs. I recognised the car by the unique aircleaner (the snorkle has been shortened)! I missed out on buying the car when it was last for sale in Lilydale... Hopefully someone else can rescue the old girl 'cause my garage is full! :p...

    M100 oil filters

    Well I priced some filters yesterday and boy what a difference between the cheapest and the dearest: MB: $100, Imparts: $75+tax, Hanvic: $35+tax. Yes the Hanvic ones don't come with O-rings (or washers), but there's no way MB can justify $65 for them! Apparently Hanvic haven't carried the...

    Blue Flame (6301)

    Yes I gave them new names! I dragged Blue Flame from the garage and gave her a wash. Preliminary list of repairs has been undertaken. The workshop shall be ready soon, so I can have a look at the can of worms (hopefully not tin worm) underneath. And yes I'll check the offset of the wheels...

    Red Bull (5541)

    Well I dragged her out of the barn the day before last and treated her to a wash. While doing so, I checked her over and started a list of repairs. When the workshop's set up in the next week or so I'll put her on stands and do a closer inspection. I think the wheels are genuine AMG 16 x...

    Wheel Fitment Guide

    Might be of some interest: http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/information/fitting_chart/mercedes-benz At least this table lists the W116 (scroll down to the very bottom), although it gives no indication if other offsets will fit (ie anything above 30P). Or what's the widest wheel that won't...

    280SEL on Ebay

    Looks immaculate, but it'd wanna be for the price. And it's not even registered! :eek: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180738945949?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    Nugget

    Ladies & Gents let me introduce you to my gold 450SEL (28414). I bought her with my last 6.9 as a parts car. Although she looks nice, she's an old one (still not sure of the build date) with an average interior, D-Jet injection and rust in at least 3 doors, the boot seal channel, boot lid...

    6.9 Transmission Upgrade

    If you had the choice of any transmission to sit behind an M100, what would it be and why? How many gears would be ideal? Top Gear mentioned that some of the 8 speeders were no good, as the transmissions couldn't decide on a gear! I know this has been mentioned in other threads, but I thought...

    Green 280SEL for sale in Melbourne

    So far it's commanding a decent price: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/300607183090?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Nice colour and very good condition, but a brown interior's not for me! :)
