Operation Dirty Penny - '75 Merc 240D

[dineno]

Did somebody say photoshop?



There you go.

It definitely looks good, I'll probably have to make a judgment call when the rest of the interior is together. I'm trying to do a decent amount of polished aluminum on the interior.

[dineno]

mounted the tank up to the brackets, just need to mount the brackets to the deck now and it's all set.

[MercTastic]

I feel you on keeping some polished aluminum otherwise it'd detract from the aluminum on the seats instead of adding to the effect. I'm assuming the air tank is remaining AL?

I am so stoked to see this thing at SoWo! The amount of W115/W114s there will be awesome! I've had a coupe and still have my sedan. These cars are the worst addiction I've ever had. Such an awesome build dude!

I'm starting to fear that I won't be done in time. Working long hours every night to try to finish but been having to cut corners here and there and I'm not sure I want to leave out anything in the original plan :/

[dineno]

Cut out the spare tire well and will be welding in a flat plate to mount the battery. Also got a little further on the hardlines. They polish out nicely.

[dineno]

Got my nardi wheel in, am I the only one who loves the fact that it's all worn?

[semaj4712]

I only buy used steering wheels with a good patina

[dineno]

Got the tranny bolted back up to the motor, finished the batter tray and made more progress on the hardlines.

YOU HAVE A GERMAN SHEPARD TOO????

Damn you are just sucking the coolness from every single human on earth.

Also that tank placement is perfect.

[TeckniX]

Keep at it!!

[kneums]

The copper. The seats. Err mer gerd!!!

I had originally started to until someone in here found this for me. It was in hungarian but google translate helped with that. Most of them anyway.

Hi!

Very nice build, I would also grab the chance to contribute to your build, since I am Hungarian I translated the missing parts

C: generator regulator
F3: brake fluid level encoder
F4: brake fluid indicator
G1: glow indicator (for glow plugs)
J3: interior lights
J4, J5: door switch for the interior lights
W3: wiper switch for the foot

Hope I could help, if you have any questions left feel free to contact!

edit: I've just realised that 'index' is a Hungarian term, if you haven't found out already, 'index' always means 'turn indicator light'

Oh wow, thank you for that. I was trying to figure out the untranslated ones by process of elimination but some just weren't making sense.
