seems like one expensive project!

This build is just about perfect, the whole original Hollywood dealer plate surround thing just makes it even cooler. Cant wait to see it on air!

Just out of interest, how did you find the move from Australia to Socal? like change of lifestyle and all? Pretty keen to do it myself one day

thanks man. when i saw the plate frames i was a little excited. i am still working out my plans for the air build.

I have spoken to a few guys here in the states and in australia that have bagged w108's and am drawing some firm conclusions as to what I will need.

So far it's Slam Specialties RE-6 bags that should fit nicely and get this thing lower to the earth

Im buying a '69 230 this weekend. I cant wait to being working on it like this!

good on you! they are great cars to own and drive. if we can help keep these old girls on the road and visible out on the streets it means they will be around for another 40 years. it trips me to think my '68 model has 4 wheel disc brakes, AC, power steer, power windows and fuel injection all from the factory. nuts.

if you need parts, i can put you in touch with the mercedes classic center in irvine. most parts are just an email away and prices can be OK.
