Pictures of my car...

I have created this blog to document everything I do and planning to do with my Mercedes 280 SL -85.

This is what she looked like when I just brought her home from Germany, still having German license plates...



The first thing I have done is to get 5 original rims (the fifth is the spare tire).


I haven't decided yet if I shall keep those mounted on the car in the picture or change to the original rims. It would look nice with those original MB-rims on but I propably have to by new tires before I put them on since the old tires they are old and worn. Time will tell if it will be "Borbet A" rims or "MB Barock" rims this summer...

I've also replaced the fan mounted on the water pump with an electrical one. 
The reason for this is...
  1. The motor doesn't need to drive the fan all the time instead, the fan only starts when the motor is warm enough which saves some petrol.
  2. The car gets a little more quiet.
  3. Gives some more horse power since the motor doesnt have to drive the fan all the time, have heard numbers like 3-5 hp.

Some more pictures... enjoy...
