Time went past, since i've last posted about the project. I contacted a friend about the rims on the car i want to copy, and send him a pic of the car, so that he can identify the rims. I want the car to be as close to the original as possible.
He phoned me back after a week and told me to come and collect my rims. Got there and the excact rims with good tyres on the table. I couldnt tell my luck.
Well i fitted the rims, and decided i will need to space them up a bit to get a better stance. You will see on the original car that it's a bit wider. My calculations show about an inch. So i need to do some engineering here.
This is what the car look like at the moment. The original car was named Rote Sau, this one is named Fat Anna

I also made the brackets for the spotlights and fitted them. Amazing how much work there is only to bolt on, remove ,alter, fit again etc. Kept me busy for a Saturday afternoon. And i always maintained that if i wanted to work on a Saturday i would have bought myself a Land Rover Defender.
Just for the sake of fitting the lights i used the same size spotlights. The bottom one will be much bigger than the other one.

Your tough SA environment (similar to ours) made me think of it.
I'm sure I saw two threads about it in Oz M-B forums but I only found this one (you need to join to see the pics). The other thread was considerably more detailed iirc, possibly the MB-NSW club site?
Anyway there's some good general W108/9 info in this ozbenz site (btw their forum sponsor is an excellent MB parts source)
Thanx for the info Nota. I will join there

Hello Basie, unfortunately you picked a bad time to try and register. We have just done a system upgrade, but it has stuffed up some of the registrations, unfortunately we have had to suspend any new registrations until it is fixed, should only be a few days. See below for a note from our techs, the race car sounds interesting…!

I would like to join and register on the forum, but there do not seem to be a place to register. Is it a closed forum or what. I am busy copying a racecar of the past and would like to gain and give information. Can you help or guide me to someone that can help __________________________________________________ _______________

Subject: OZBENZ user registrations are disabled - FYI
Guys,
There appears to be a problem with the forum software & user registrations despite the upgrade to current version.
the existing issue where there were apparent 'illegal characters' in users' registration names (despite this not being the case), is still happening.
I will be checking this out in more detail tonight. I have disabled new user registrations until the issue can be corrected.
If anyone asks why, please indicate the issue is being addressed and will be resolved asap.
Joe.
