OL YELLER Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 dood...the Mercedes is clean!!! Really do like the interior....do need to clean up the under dash wiring but, all in all clean ride man Quote Link to comment
pope_face Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 You're kidding about the Mercedes right? Wow am I jealous... :D It's gorgeous... I had a '69 230 a while back, but this is in a class all it's own. Where'd you get it? The interior looks good... I like the colours, but I would've done the front seats in the same style as the rear, rather than the thin strip in the center... and I would redo the steel steps in hardwood. But... that's just me.

datsunfish Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I dig the car but I would guess that the shifter assembly is not period correct.At least trim it out in mahogany too.:D Quote Link to comment
jrbd10 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 well yea i agree with everyone...but yea slowly but surly this thing took a long time...and the girl shes an old friend lol its actually not the legit....its a kit car but a damm good one at that...and i know ur guys are gonna laugh but its....here is where u start guessing Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Shifter and steering column appear to be mid seventies ford parts. Seen kit cars like this before that used a lot of parts from a pinto/mustang II. Suspension, drivetrain, and a lot of interior parts worked well for these kit cars. Even the front seats are shaped like the mustang II's i think. That my guess. Am i close? Jason Quote Link to comment
Mic Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Count me in for the Pinto / Mustang II also. Quote Link to comment

pope_face Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 What came with it when you got it? Just the body? Or was it mostly complete, save for details and all? Quote Link to comment
Bugeye Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Interior looks great, when I first saw it I thought it was a volkswagen kit car, but then I remebering growing up helping a friend of mine and his dad put one of those together using a pinto engine. Later on down the road we put a ford v6 into it, man did it freaking move Quote Link to comment
