Well, there isn't a lot to add to this page quite yet. Considering I have only just found someone to do the work. It will cost about $5,000 Canadian to fully restore it with an excellent paint job. A car like this is worth it, no? I want a two tone color, look at the image below.
I got the idea when I was looking at Mercedes on eBay. I saw this car. I like the color contrast and it makes it look like a Rolls-Royce (a good thing!). I want to keep the main color the same metallic blue-green, but I want my roof to be metallic white in the same fashion as in the image! Tell me what you think!
Will keep you updated with images, the car is going to the shop in a short time after the engine's timing has been perfected.
Thanks guys and sorry for not updating in a long time.
Please sign my guest book so I can see your ride.
The car went to the shop as of 03/11/03. The estimated time of it's completion is 3-5 months. I am happy it is going to take so long, because they will take their time and do a good job. It also means it will be heated for a good chunk of the winter. Winter gets bad here. I will keep everyone updated with images during restoration!
