Nice! This car will look amazing!

Where did you finally find the rubbers?

[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

[JHermes]

Dang that is great. Cant wait to see more!

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

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..

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!!

[JHermes]

Just do it.

[JHermes]

so guys, has been some time,
have done allot of stuff on the Benz

i am also getting more and more motivation to get it all done, since all the exteriour stuff is almost done. like the sanding cleaning and all that kind of stuff

But also some little bit of bad news, lost my wallet, with everything in it.. so that is a bummer.. and also had a very tiny car accident with my Daily Seat



so now it has a half Black front, not gonna spent any more money on it, since im gonna drive my Benz as a Daily wen its road worthy and aproved to be road legal.

so this is how the Seat looks now



now lets get on with the Good Stuff ( i.m.o.)

Cleaned and sanded my Propellor



then sprayed a base coat on it



And Gave it a color!



After that i started scrubbing my Oil Cap..??
dont know why, but after a few minutes it looked hella great,!!



so thats done, but then my Valve Cover looked so damn neglected that i had to make it beautifull too!



Then More Fun Started!!
K&N FILTER'S 4 THA WIN!!





So that gave me a Huge BOOST, i got that feeling like you do something for the first time and everybody says it will be hard and then you NAIL IT!

Also I put my Oil Cooler aside Friend



Then some Real shiit started, Yeah I'm Serious! now the real shiit starts!!!

















So after all that Awesomeness Yeah AWESOMENESSESES

i started sanding on the doors again, prepping them for Color!!
so this is sanded..



then I sprayed some kind of Degreaser over it and it looked beautifull
(dont know if its normal or a spell of Gandalf, but the guy that teeching me said: now it will look like it has paint on it.. so if you see anything unregular.. then you will also see that in the paint job) SCARY shiit joh.. didnt wanted to ruin my paint job, so I know now how inportant it is to sand it good and Smooth.. By HAND.. EVERYTHING



My Sun Roof ,The ones that read this thread will notice the differences from how it looked before..



So after lots and Lots of sanding the whole car, it was ALMOST ready for paint.. but 1 thing must happen before that.. Bodysealer?? dont know how to say it in english but its for little stones that come up while driving so your car wont damage and rust in the bottom part

Taped it down











NOW i just need to sand the rest of the parts Nice tight and Clean
Like this thing that has been Used as a Table or something for the last few Days



So thats it for now Guys!!
Monday probally Paint, and somewhere Wednesday i can get some Pictures of it

HOPE U ALL ENJOYED THIS UPDATE AS MUCH AS I DID

[JHermes]

whent buying paint, and did paint some stuff,
not everything is finished but its in progress

also have a somehow little basecoat on the trunk lid.
so everything is getting there, slowly but surely

And some sort of end result, need to clean the black piece a bit, but thats all and then it looks Freakky Funky Fresh!!



like anybody bothers reading this xD
but next week on monday my car is very probably going into the cabin for the base coat/Primer

cya at the next update guys!

[JHermes]

Little BIG Update ROFL

Hi guys, got a little update or big, at least it was a big amount of time and work but it doesnt look much i guess..

I started with sanding more of the car,
then pasted again and sanded more and more..
god i love sanding

but anywho.. After the sanding days were done (for now )
i started to take my Radiator off because i thought it was leaking.. after full inspection no leak...
then we checked the oil cooler.. also no leak, so im gonna refresh the hoses going to the radiator and oil cooler.
while i was doing this the radiator really lloked fucked up.. so i got to cleaning and also did my oil cooler while i was at it

so here are some pics, if you have read this, you;ll understand the Pictures











Also took my windows out BTW xD easy job

























DONT WORRY its just a Primer











thank you for watching, tomorrow im going back, gonna do some cool stuff

next update will be a pretty big deal, but i am not going to spoil it

[JHermes]

This is great man keep it up!
Love what you're doing

you're some of the inspiration i get when i look on this forum!
Soon ill post a update with everything Plastered down and hopefully a base coat on everything.

ill do my best for it.

but still dont have a job atm...
so im pretty stressed about everything

also i still dont know if i should order my airride stuff at BagRiders . com ??
