Naked W116

I stripped most of my 280SE today. I am only buying Californian cars from now on - the lack of rust-through is amazing. There are a couple of bubbles here and there but it's mainly surface rust.

California can be nice, but you still have to look at them. My Citroen is a case in point....

Hunh! I've found the occasional pack rat or mouse in my purchases but I've never found a big ol' poofy dog!
