1980 280SLC project

[w107]

Hi!

In my free time I'm restoring my 1980 280SLC. This is my long-term project since I'm very busy at work.
You can check the progress of the restoration on this site:

Put yourself on the BW107 Map and show us where you are. You can also go to the User CP and fill out your profile with vehicle and other info...

WOW!!! That is some fantastically detailed work. Excellent pictures to. It is an inspiration to my restoration project. I have many of the same rust issues and will be handling them much the same way.

Welcome and thanks for the pictures. You sir are truly an artist.

I am in cut, fabricate and weld mode also, but not nearly to the extent of the work you are doing. Sometimes when I see what others are restoring I feel fortunate that mine isn't worse than it is.

What is that white stuff you are using to coat the work?

I'm glad you all like my work.

That white stuff is a two-component paint (colour) based on epoxides. It is a heavy-duty colour.

Guys like you scare me. But if you come to NY I let you do my car. Just PM me before you arrive.

Wow that is great! The car is good looking and I like the color scheme of black exterior with the 70s looking green interior, it seems to fit the car well.

Wow...thats a sweet looking SLC you have there,what are the rims you are running and what size are they...8x16's ?
Are the tyres 225/50/16's,they fill the arches perfectly.

Good luck with it mate,it looks excellent.

Cheers Crawfy !

Another W107 saved from the scrap heap.
Nice job.

That truly is a work of art!! Well done, love the interior as well; mine is the same colour all over being leather, doesn't look nearly as sharp as yours... the fabric gives it a nice two tone appearance. Good for you!
