This blog is about my car, a Mercedes 280 SL from 1985.
I am not a professional mechanic but have had some old cars through the years which had to be repaired from time to time. There is always small things that can be done on an old car like this one so I've created this blog so that other people can see what I'm doing (or what I shouldn't have done).
Feel free to comment and

I have now cleaned all the gauges and painted the needles orange since thew where bleached to yellow by age and sun. You can see the difference on the picture...
The gauge in the middle still yellow by age and sun bleach.
Not mine... I could clearly see the original color at the inner part of the needle but I dont say that the orange color is the correct one, it just look damn good against the black gauge..
I always thought the gauges were supposed to be yellow.
ReplyDeleteNot mine...
