Mercedes Benz 380SL 1985 Detail.

[Kane.]

So yesterday I spent 11 hours on this beast, was absolutely fucked after. 1 woman owner, bought new in 1985. She absolutely loves this car and it will be passed to her daughter when she dies.

Before/during/done:

Finished:

Not many pics but had to crack on.


The bonnet on this was huge, I spent 1.5 hours+ alone on it. I was in agony machining the middle of it trying not to lean on the car.


Really happy with this one, definitely my best one so far.

A Non-rotten Sl, that must be worth a fortune!

Good work mate, looks stunning.

That looks mint, nice work!

 

[Brian]

5 years younger than me, definitley looks better!

Does it get much use? I'm assuming the 11 hour job meant it was in desperate need of attention!?

The first pic doesn't show how bad it was before but there was no reflection (although the picture shows some)

It has been used as a weekend car mainly. Owner was really happy.
