Better Thread TiTLE!! WOOHOO and a little TEASER FOR YOU ALL

Ty Sir for changing the Thread Title!

so GUys the paint is on the car today.. now its just a game of me sanding vs the painting skills of the Painter
its like, when i have something done, he can give it Color, if I dont work fast enough its wasted time..

so lets not ruin everything and show half of it haha









This is also something where i am proud of, I never knew i would be doing this and also succeeding in it so i'm quite happy now
This is a Door sanded, with some Degreaser on it so I can see if i sanded my door well enough Looks very Tight to me





next Update will be much Nicer!!

[Laef]

Dang that is great. Cant wait to see more!

I wish I had the guts (and time) to do this!

[loekaaz]

Lekkah bezaaaahg!

I like the color. A LOT.

Its just because i dont have a Job at the Moment, else i would never have the time for it.
but now the money is a problem So it goes 2 ways.

And my Guts were destroyed when I just said to my dad: lets go sukcer imma go buy a Mercedes Classic for myself and restore it. (with 0% knowledge about anything)
it was a stressfull time, but by just doing it i'm learning a whole lot!

Lekkah bezaaaahg!

I like the color. A LOT.

Thank you, Original Benz color ofcourse

At the End of the week there will be a much nicer update,
for now i have some little things that needed attention.



License Plates Lights (LED ofcourse, because it looks fancier )



And Changed all the light bulbs of the Taillight It aint Big but it HAD to be done you know what I mean.




Also i did some Paint prepping on my Fenders, and ofcourse the prep for the Anti Rubble coat



And a little Teaser again, made a picture of the Paint in the dark.



for the BMW Lover's, there was one in the shop. I personally dont care about BMW but this one looked very nicely done



thats it for Now! at the end of the week ill probally have another Update.

LAATTAAAAAAAA..

[JHermes]

sooo.. it was a nice week!!
got all kinds of things done, ill show you everything with pictures. thats more fun IMO

So the Rest of the car has been Painted. Everything is painted in fact
I Fucking Love the color i have Chosen!!



We've put the car in the cornor of the Shop, so I can build it in Peace



Painted all the Brackets and little Stuff for the Trunk and Hood



And the brackets for the Bumpers



Some more Parts in the Paint Booth.. (no final coat btw)





I also did the Window brackets and thingy's. because I was already at it, I wont see much of it when its in, but it will give me a good feeling i did something to it
Did it to all of the 4 Windows





Then the last layer of paint went on







And started building the car back together!!





And got all the Rubbers that are needed for my Car. got every little rubber you need on this car. It was hard to find everything and also for the right price because that shiit gets expensive as fuck



Plus some goodies Came in!!!!
Really excited to put them on.



Thats it for now, tomorrow I will get some more shiit done, next update will be somewhere next week but who knows how its gonna be

BYEEEE

[MBBelgium]

Nice! This car will look amazing!

Where did you finally find the rubbers?

[JHermes]

Nice! This car will look amazing!

Where did you finally find the rubbers?

Thank you sir!

all kinds of websites, from Germany, Denmark and Turkey.
But the big pieces of rubber are mostly from a guy that has all kinds of stuff especially for the W114/115

[JHermes]

no my photoshop skills are not for sale
just did some kind of 5 min mock up on how I would like it to have at some time



and remember its all in my head for now, just trying to figure some stuff out

GN all, im off to bed

Bringing her HOME <3

so fella's,

allot of work has been done! Got all the fcking Rubbers in...
holy shiit that shit is a pain in the ass....

but that was just 1 day.
After that I put all the windows in the doors.
Then I made my doors hanging straight
my Trunk, Fenders and Hood. those things are also a pain in the ass to do, but whatever im happy with the Outcome of it.

anywho, I've put my new Brake discs on (just the front)
tomorrow iI will do the back brake discs / Rotors / whatever they called
Also ordered some window tint foil.. but dont know if im gonna do the rear window, since i want some of those old school shade thingy's..

god I feel retarded, dont know any word written or spoken in english

here some pics for you Ladies!





























That was the last day in the Shop.. but the boss said they needed the space for non Project cars like skoda's and stuff

But now she's at her old home, safely in the little Garage/Barn of my Grandfather











This side of the Garage is full with my stuff, so my Grandpa doesnt put his car inside it because hes scared something will fall on it Nah JK, sometimes he's Lazy
but I seriously have all my interior stuff in there but theres enough room for his car.



And a last shot of the day, my little Hatchet at the side of the house of my Grandparents



The Drive was Amazing btw.. it isnt road legal so we did take a different route then the main roads. but at 80km/h its a heaven to drive in!!

Also orderd some Brake Caliper Paint, have to pay the shop still, and when i save up enough money im going to get the wheels and cut the springs. WHY? u probally think, because im almost broke lol..and im going to order my stuff at Bagriders and if I want everything orderd at once i need to save up allot of money

well thats it for now guys, next update will be in a week or so
with mostly some little Things done

I know I dont get really fast to lowering and stuff.. but this is also a new experience for me. everything i've done so far was my first time doing it.. i've come a long way, but still have to learn allot!!!

Hope you all Enjoyed
