Busy day

Only a few hours working on the car today.

Roughly 5% remaining..

I am starting work at 9:00 AM.

more Pictures attached...

Note:
These three are a prime reason the body was junked..
Please note where the front sub frame rusted through, and someone attempted to weld it back together several times.

W126 300sd

W126 300SD
Starting slow tear-down Monday 1-1-2009, planning seven days for the job.
This will be a total transfer from the rusted Michigan body to a clean Texas body.

Trying to reorganize storage for this job.
