Car is pull start???

Yea essentially the key is used to turn on the "ignition"/electronics, then you pull a knob on the left out to warm up the glow plugs and wait a bit, then you pull it all the way out and hold it until it starts until you release. Then to stop the car you push the knob in and then turn the key to off and take it out.

Like mentioned above, weird mercedes diesel shit lol, but definitely the most badass feature of the car

Damn that was supposed to be surprised. I was actually planning on making an inlay in the pull start handle for just that.

Definetly needs this



my girlfriend is working in a bank i can ask her if she has one from ´75

I would totally rock one of those on the car. Come to think of it, it would be cool to have "pennies" from all over displayed somewhere on it.

If you want I can mail you one, just let me know

We use to have a 1c "penny" in copper, not sure if it was sold copper. It's not in use her anymore but I think I might have one or two laying around.

What bumpers?

I like that coin though, do you have "pennies" in copper over there?

Well, since it's German...



Or a bridge too far?

I wanted to find a period correct (1975) german "penny", but their 1 mark of that year isn't copper it appears.

Great minds think alike.

If there isn't (at least) 1 US copper penny included in this build somewhere, I will shit a kitten.

Even if its something subtle, like a custom wood grain shift knob with an inlay cutout, a penny placed in and sealed. Lincoln would be proud.
