looks good..

why weren't the bumpers removed? Its fairly straight forward.. 6 bolts for the front and its off.

Bens lover 03-18-2009 03:20 PM

Yes absolutely they will be tearing down the rest of the car this afternoon.
Still another week or so and then she'll be almost like new!
Cheers

W126 n00b! For the front there are 8 bolts if you pull the shocks with the bumper, 10 if you leave them on the car. 6 is correct for the rear

:D

Anyone else notice the 123 in the background of pic 23 of the bodywork section?

Nice photos and car BTW!

PanzerSD 03-25-2009 12:42 AM

I'm surprised they can even prime anything in that so very poorly lit booth!!

Bens lover 03-25-2009 12:55 AM

Thank's guy's.

Its too bad she'll be on the auction block pretty soon.She's not making the trip to Oz unfortunately,the cost of converting to R/H drive is way to costly.
Cheers

You can't drive a LHD car down there eh?

Bens lover 03-25-2009 02:24 AM
