Hi Ruban,
Your link to your facebook page works even if I don't log in (I don't like FB). However, I could not find any 'translate' button so I had to be content with looking at pretty pictures of nice metal shaping! It looks like you are a skilled artist so that old benz should be very easy for you to fix.
Your test pictures are also working here fine.
Good luck with all the workload, Drew

Hello Ruban
my name is iacob and,same like you,I try to restore a W187 from 1953.
I will blasting the body next weel.Last weel I did the chassis.It is realy great after this operation!!
But,I have a big problem.I bought it without a part (the tunnel from inside the car between the front chairs who cover the gear box).
Can you send me some measures for this part because I think that I don't have any chances to find this part.
Thank you very much and sorry for my poor English.
