	A little project me and my freinds picked up last week! She was found rotting in undergrowth in a junk yard next to my freinds land. He did a deal today with the owner and we pulled it round into his workshop to get to work stripping it down ready for restoration! Its in suprisingly good condition considering its been sat in brambles for years, and on initial inspection only needs 2 tiny bits of welding on the NS seal! Even got her started with a fresh battery and a glug of petrol in the carb chamber! After the brambles had been cleared Interior is in really good condition Then pulled her out of the corner, and into our yard Gave her a wash And where we will be doing the work, a nice heated workshop We spent yesterday afternooon stripping the interior, and the floors 99% rot free, only needed a small repair in the boot floor (drain hole rusted out) Let me know what you think, and any info/advice about the car would be appreciated

	Great car. You don't see one of these everyday and it looks quite solid from the pictures. What's the plans? Resto to original, fix up and mod or get to mot standard and roll as is?

	Cheers guys! Plans at the moment are to do a complete bare shell restoration, maybe with a few modern additions (i.e front discs from a later model) Once finished we will most likely roll around in it for a while!

	Very nice car, always good to see these old cars given a new lease of life. Considering it was just sitting in a field it is still very solid.

	OMG that is gorgeous! Can't believe how good the condition of it is. Mmmmm, very jealous. Personally, bit of polish, slam and band the wheels. Job done

	That's remarkable, given where it was stood....and a testimony to the quality cars that M-B churned out back then. Your plans sound perfect to me, good luck with it!!!!

	Nice ride! What have you got waiting in the wings? Will it be a straight resto or are you up to anything crafty...?

	Oh man that's a great find! And pretty much rust free? Lucky! Benzies luuurve the rust. I'd have expected the bottom 6 inches to be nothing but rot after sitting in those conditions for that long! Looking forward to seeing the progress. Lovely car.

	Cheers guys! yeh, she is pretty much rust free. Needs two patches on the NS seal, and a small repair in the boot, but thats it! Really is in incredible condition! Chrome is 90% perfect aswell, just need a new rear bumper...although it looks like weve just got a donor car!

	Spent some time on the car today; Started out by starting to clean the interior, so gathered the tools we would need: Then got to work We soon got bored of that though, so decided to start stripping the exterior trim on the car. Rear lights were first to go; We then assessed some of the rust on the seals, going to need a fair bit of work, but there not too bad considering.. And the boot floor Undersides pretty solid: We then decided to remove the glass. We did this by simply cutting out the old seals to save time, as they need replacing anyway!
