Got my red, leather seat covers in. Pure Beauty and so far, very impressed with the work and the look. I know what I am doing this upcoming few weeks !

Installed my refurbished battery tray. Overall, probably a poor use of time since a brand new one from MB is around $60.00. Between bead blasting, paint, et cet., but it's done.

AND, mocked up my 60 plate HE and homemade fittings. Seems at least this will fit without a bunch of R&D. Battery behind the back seat is also working out better than thought.

Now, on the prowl for some material to make an insulated cover. I had this really nice helicopter engine blanket or at least a panel of it, but that's apparently gone ... lol .. and I have not seen any lately at the surplus auctions or FleaBay. Any ideas ? I want something which can be sewn with a zipper vs. the stick on stuff.

Instead of focusing on my red leather interior, I got a little side tracked. Got this premo item: 2:65 LSD from a W116 (M100 6.9). Total Luck and Timing, got it while in Fort Wayne, IND last week. Very heavy sucker, e.g., 89 pounds. I will post some pics of the re-fresh of seals, et cet, as well as axles, et cet.

What's the story on that mean looking battery?

It's not a battery. It's a HE.

Those RED leather seat covers look impressive; however, it seems to be the wrong shade of red for my car. Did you have that matched to your existing interior or are you doing a color swap?
