Here’s my old thing. Currently overhauling aircon and tracing leak on power steering. An ongoing process but worth it. She’s part of the family and will remain so whilst I can still put fuel in her...

Love these, AWESOME!👍

Nice job, looks fantastic!!! What’s next, or is it complete now?

Thanks! Sorry for my late reply - being on vacation takes me off line for the most part. Complete...!? Do not understand. 😉

After driving it quite a bit I have noticed a squeeking sound at the right side front suspension when it springs "out". Not when it springs down. Not at all when on normal roads but on the gravelroad where I live there are some challenging washboard sections. Will have to look into it.

There are hundreds of small things to attend to. Maybe one or two of them necessary...

How is your MB doing?

Understand completely! Mine is doing well, but as you said there’s always something that could be better. I’ve got it running smoothly but a little rich...much better than when first purchased but it could be better. I think I’m still getting some false air some where, going to replace the seals on the fuel injectors next, after 45 years they must be a little tired!😉

Was getting an oil change over the weekend and this R was in the showroom.
That color, not for everyone.
But I love it! I had a hard time not leaving with it hah.
