    The complete underside and wheel arches have a layer of Body Gard now.
    It's paintable, so the complete body will get the same color.
    Just find a sheet metal worker/painter now to make it shiny again.

    I found an original tow bar mounting beam, I just have to drill some mounting holes and weld some spacers.
    At the second picture it is clear to see that the last owner had some terrible grit blasting been done.
    The dents were filled with bondo and also the bonnet is like this.
    So these aluminum parts must be made in the right curve again.
    Unfortunately not every sheet metal worker has that skills.

    What ...?
    Eric...?
    Are all these dark (appearing) areas on your trunk lid dents??
    Unbelievable, that's terrible.:(:(
    Have you already talked about this to a good dent doctor?


    Best,

    Achim

    Goedendag!

    Was kostet ein guter gebrauchter Heckdeckel samt Anpassungsarbeiten?
    Vermutlich weniger als die Richtung dieses Meisterstückes, oder?

    What´s the price of an used trunk lid in good shape - incl. some bodywork for adjustment?
    Less high than fixing this lttle piece of art I guess.

    Mein Beileid / my deepest condolences

    Hallo,

    ich habe noch nie gesehen, dass das innere Verstärkungskreuz durch den Deckel zu sehen ist, wie hier.
    Was ist denn da passiert?
    Grüße, Felix

    Hi Achim,

    Yes unfortunately the complete upper part is bent.
    I have found someone who is able to repair this, but it will take some hours.

    Probably the previous owner had the tailgate been blasted with sand or grit.
    This causes too much strength and warmth. Then flattened with bondo.

    The spacers for the fixing of the tow bar, have been welded in.

    The transformation of the rear axle.
    Cleaned outside and inside and various parts renewed.
    There are more new parts ready to be completed again.

    The sheet work will be made as smooth as possible, so a minimum of filler will be necessary.

    Anyway,

    Keep on the excellent work!

    I have a full time job (4 times 9 hours a week), but I'm free at Wednesday for the restoration.
    Also at Tuesday evening, Thursday evening and Sunday afternoon I'm working on it.
    So at this moment, the 5 months I have this 230 SL, there are already 300 hours used, including the help from others. :)

    Hallo
    Leider reicht mein Englisch nicht. Die Nutzung dieser Federspanner ist gefährlich kriminell.

    Hei.

    The first one on the rear axle in message #71 and the first one in message #77. Extremly dangerous!

    I recommend not to use those outer tensioner. The second one in message #77 is safe and correct. Thanks. :banane:

    The brake adjusting plates had to be fixed at the pins again.
    I made a tool to press the spring together with the plate in position.
    After welding I grinded off the excess material.
    And finally put this side in the paint.
