Absolutely stunning.

Words elude me. This is what makes me love a Mercedes.

The car is even more amazing than I first thought! that garage is awesome..I bet you don't do oil changes in there. Ideal man-cave..

I got the drivers foot well carpet re-installed today and thought I would share a couple of more pictures of those of you that might be interested before I put back the grey sissel floor mats.











Hope you all enjoy.

Your car looks great!

Do you know where I might could find replacement carpet or floor mats?

I've never had to replace my carpets but Joe (JMela) gives some good advise as to where to look. I don't like the way coco mats disintegrate over time, had them on a 1976 Saab I once owned.

Another garage shot without Anthracite, she was outside cooling down after a spirited run.



Thanks for your kind remarks.

Its been awhile since I last posted here. Some pics from Friday 12/07/12.

So it was rainy, cloudy, foggy, and cool outside today (37 degrees F) so I decided to put myself in Anthracites resting place and take a few glamor shots of her while the temp inside the garage was at about 72 degrees. I didn't see anything worth watching on the TV so I turned on the net radio and listened to one of my favorite Beatles channels I have saved on the Vtuner Internet radio.

Hope you all enjoy these glamor shots.

Enjoy.

Nice car. Does she have a leak? I ask this because of the oil pan and because gaskets do disintegrate over time. My only leak is from the power steering unit. Very annoying.

No she doesn't leak. I bought the pan while I was doing the remodel on the garage and the car was in storage elsewhere. I didn't want to take a chance that a leak would develop one day so the pan is "just in case".

Thanks,
