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

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:

What is sooooooo wrong with this auction?????? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/120829399300?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/120829399300?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 :mad::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...

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...

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...

Here's another for sale; has anyone had a look yet? :rolleyes: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130594849214?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

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...

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...

OMG $48K!! Apart from the white writing on the tyres.... Ohh yeah!! :cool: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mercedes-benz-560-SL-1986-SUIT-PAGODA-190-230-280-BUYERS-/330622072470?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item4cfa9c7696

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...

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
