Here's some closer pics of the wheels. The first one shows the size. After measuring them, I found it also revealed the offset (e11): Normally the wheel centre caps wouldn't fit (unless the bearing covers are modified): And the pilot holes are too big, requiring sleeves to be fitted...

It crossed my mind that it could've been caused by a collision, but a look on the left side dispelled that notion :(. Initially it was hard to see (apart from the cracked saddle): This last one shows the left rear bump-stop mount and I'm concerned that's also developing a crack: The...

So this is what I was so shocked to discover during my inspection of Blue Flame. Initially I thought I was seeing things and didn't really believe it. But a closer look confirmed my suspicions. I suspect it's been caused by driving (or being towed) with collapsed hydraulic suspension, or by...

Normally I'd say British cars are well, cr*p! But if I had the (considerable) spare cash, this is one of the cars that'd be sitting in my garage... :D http://www.jaguarspeedster.com/ It doesn't get much better than this: :D:D:D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66owXqZaexs

HNY guys n gals! How's this one to kick it off? $50K and a lovely new interior.... http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/mercedes-450sel-1979-11661211 Indications are that the number plate refers to how much more you need to spend! :D

Well it's a pretty crude attempt in Microsoft (?) Paint, but here's what I've been toying with: Does anyone know of better software that will fill an area without drawing around the border and something that can incorporate the pre-existing reflections??

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...

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:

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...

Yeah I reckon I'd feel the same! :eek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7At48rRs4c&feature=related

And this one just makes you wanna cry.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf_j9z-JCa4&feature=related :(:(

WOW guys this is real dedication!! :D The rust was really taking hold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OGlV6WcquU&feature=related Bet someone here knows the owner....

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...

Well here's two pics of the filter which should explain all: And the oil that I use: Not to be confused with: Or (no I wouldn't use this in a MB). I was going to use this in my Ford, but I decided against it, as it's not semi-synthetic:

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

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...
