1971 280SE 3.5 The story so far....

These are just a couple of pictures of the car with the paint actually polished, the last ones were frankly embarrasing due to the layer of dust on the car when I took them for insurance purposes. I will try to take some more soon but have been busy on repairs and upgrades. Since I got her I have;

• Replaced the shocks and springs
• New front wheel bearings
• New kingpins
• New subframe mounts
• New anti roll bar mounts
• Fitted a coil compensating spring
• Replaced the transmission modulator
• Replaced the plug wires and fitted a pertronix hall effect ignition
• Replaced the injector seals and had the injectors 'ASNUed' (cleaned and rebuilt)
• Serviced the transmission
• Serviced the engine (must be at least 4 times so far in 2 and a bit years)
• Replaced all fuel hoses, filters and clamps
• Replaced all V belts
• I have a full set of H4 headlamps - still to be fitted
• I have a set of cam oiler tubes - still to be fitted
• 4 new 'round' tyres (the originals were...intertaining)
• New three pointed star - due to vandals
• Decent stereo with CD, which is nice and 'chromy'

The list of 'still to do is' way too long to bore you with but we're getting there. The rear end rubbers will probably be next unless we have a major engine problem, if my car is off the road I tend to lose interest which is unhealthy.

Good luck to all 'real S class' owners ;-)
