Mine won't have those U.S. bumpers for long...just sourced a set of euro bumpers. And I won't say any thing about those exhaust tips...but I think they make a pill to cure that problem!

 

After changing all of the fluids and checking the brakes, I decided to tackle the slightly faded paint on my SL. I've clayed and then compounded the paint...

And I still need to do a final polish and seal, results so far have exceeded expectations!

 

Had my pre-wedding photoshoot last weekend, and this one was almost over-shadowing my lead actress!

 

"Clayed" - is that the same as when I say rubbing? A compound that has a very fine abrasing function? Your result looks smashing by the way. I always use rubbing the first time I get an old vehicle and it is oxidized. Then a good quality wax - is that what you call "compounded"? This language barrier...

I really do like your hubcaps and I am planning for a set of steel wheels with hubcaps (with white infill of course). Funny how things change. For the better part of my automotive life I have changed from steel rims to aluminum and now when I get a car that has the original optional alu-wheels (14" 6,5) I want the steel ones. The same with the tyres - I have always wanted white wall tyres on vintage cars. Now I feel that they are out of place on a 70ies car. Narrow white wall on a 60ies car is nice but in the 70ies - who really used it? I believe I am going for Vredestein Classic Sprint as the tyres need to be changed anyway. There are nothing wrong with the thread on the present set but they are just too old for comfort.

Went to go check up on the 500 at the shop while she gets a little well needed attention

 

For those who enjoy a spectacular rear!
