NLA headgaskets now available for the 6.3

The fuel tank might be toast… I couldn’t even blow through the strainer!! When I first got the car 20ish years ago I replaced the pump & filter without cleaning the tank & realised my mistake when the new pump started making weird noises not long afterward. I definitely won’t do that again! I’m...

Some TLC required….

I will be throwing a few of my period correct AMG goodies at this car, plus some later performance items. I will definitely retain the original engine but could look at a M119 if time, funds and space allow…

Years ago I bought a smashed 420SEL just for the single CD Becker! Those pix are from when I pulled it out before selling the rest of the car. Since Dora is such a rare car it’s about the only mod I’m prepared to do to it apart from wheels. Dora currently has a dodgy Sony head unit so I’ll be...

Haha well it is a tight squeeze but you can just get in and out! If you’ve had a big meal then maybe not…. The other car in the container is ‘Midnight Express’ my black/grey 560SEL on LPG. That’s my test mule for the EFI, but I’m not butchering the car & will be keeping it long term. It will...

Recent updates… Changed the coolant too. I’ll be dragging her home soon with additional attention for a RWC & club rego.

Current updates… I changed the coolant before putting her to bed for now..

Thanks guys! My main focus now is Dora (silver 560SEL) and Midnight (black 560SEL). Both are 220kW cars but Midnight is on LPG. Dora has the HPF2 and splits seats so I won’t be modifying that one apart from the AMG wheels. I may fit the reconditioned S2 Pentas instead of the 18” monoblocks...

With a severe lack of storage space I regrettably sold my beloved Buick too. I’d lost a clear vision for the car & there was just too much work involved (and costs) for me at this stage of my life. Sold rather cheaply as a non runner. I may have dodged a bullet since the new owner discovered a...

Worthy of note is it appears they replaced the impeller so it may be impossible to remove without destruction. Obviously they have a source for new impellers with the correct dimensions.

Sadly I sold both but I wasn’t keen on the colour & one had quite a bit of rust under the back window. The other didn’t have the original 220kW engine

The work was undertaken by ‘Auto Cooling Pty Ltd’ F7, 216 Blackshaws Rd, Altona North, Victoria, 3025 Ph 93627799 email autocooling@bigpond.com They also do radiators & intercoolers & I can now recommend them highly.

It was recommended by a mate who’s a chemist and may even be a member here (with the ex-Victor Chang 6.9). He said it’s likely better than using citric acid. Liquid Intelligence was first mention here a few years ago but no-one reported back with any results.

Thanks Patrick! Below is the pump after reco & finished in just 2 days!! They even supplied a free gasket which it seems they made in house… I’m getting the impression they can fix anything cooling system related & probably many other things too! I am concerned about the level of corrosion in...
