Replying to: squirreljam (Nov 03, 2008 6:42 pm) I've heard of the brand but never seen one...odd sighting

A nice gunmetal grey late series SWB W126 just drove by my window...still looking pretty good for a nearly 30 year old design.

These were mentioned not long ago...don't know if I like them...seems only halfway there   Very rare over here, belongs back in England   Good luck getting this registered in the states   No bids? I wonder why...   Unusual...don't know if it's worth the bids, can't be the BIN   You'll never see your twin at a light or car show   Odd thing to restore...but it looks decent   Interesting use of resources   "Lil Hustler"   Don't click here   A real SUV   Almost new   A real project car   Nice colors   Andre or lemko-mobile Replies to this message: boomchek (Nov 08, 2008 10:29 am) Mr_Shiftright (Nov 08, 2008 4:26 pm) boomchek (Nov 08, 2008 4:53 pm) and 4 more... oregonboy (Nov 14, 2008 2:21 pm) boomchek (Nov 14, 2008 2:32 pm) and 6 more...

Replying to: fintail (Nov 07, 2008 6:45 pm) The restored Opel I think is the same model that Car and Driver knocked back in the 70s really badly, causing GM to get upset and pull out some advertising iirc. Nice restoration though.   The Donk Regal is a tragedy on wheels. Why oh why..... I guess whatever tickles your fancy....   The Dodge Power wagons... I'm starting to really like the lloks of those old Power wagons. It would be nice to have if you live in the bush somehwere. Uncomplicated and easy to fix I bet.   The Gullwing parts all look like new. I wonder how long it would take to put it back together for one knoweldgebale person.

Replying to: boomchek (Nov 08, 2008 10:29 am) Gullwing---looks like about another 750 hours or so. Depends on how far along the body is, in the fine details of finishing. Normally to restore a car to show quality, PRESUMING no rust or severe body damage, is about 1600 hours + materials. So if this car is "half" done, then you're in for probably another $100K or so.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 08, 2008 4:26 pm) Wow, interesting. I would be afraid to buy a car that's in pieces, because what if they're all not there?   It's like a Revell kit, but in life size scale.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Nov 08, 2008 6:44 pm) What I have suggested (and done a few times) is that the car be wired, bolter or taped together so we can see exactly what we do and do not have. It's a great way to inventory a car, especially one with unobtanium parts. I wouldn't necessarily bother to do that with a Camaro.   We are going to do that very thing with a '34 Lagonda in boxes.
