ratiara Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I haved loved Benz's for as long as I can remember and the opportunity has arisen to pick up a local SA car with a full family history for minimal $$. The cream on the pie is that is the second Merc built in Australia....body no. 002. Paint is rough but only because it has been half rubbed back after a dodgy paint job once upon a time. It has no rust and requires only minimal work to be up and running. Plans are: low, 50's custom style in red oxide and pinstriping and fat white walls.....let's roll.

Nitephyre Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Niiice, it'd be good if you could get the original plates re-registered :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratiara Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Niiice, it'd be good if you could get the original plates re-registered :) Unfortunately the previous owner has kept rights to the plate because of family history, plus they would have been stupidly expensive. The rear plate is actually painted on, so I can never paint that boot....ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
