Fintails / Re: Unsafe tail lights in modern traffic

I agree with this.

I can't believe that for 55 years it hadn't been hit, and now it's over. I guess that's life. This doesn't mean the end of my fintail story. I will most likely get another one, AND PUT IN BRIGHTER TAIL LIGHTS.
In the mean time I'll list some parts that I couldn't let go to the crusher (radio, armrest, center seat cushion...).
Is there anything that you have request for? My interior is pretty shot.

Vehicles / FREE!!! W110 Restoration Project
« Last post by LWB250 on November 10, 2019, 03:06:23 PM »Here's the deal:
A guy I know bought a W110 on BaT earlier this year and sent it and two parts cars he purchased to a restoration shop in eastern TN. He's gotten caught up with his work and simply has no time to keep up with the project, so he's looking to get out of it - FOR FREE.
You can PM me for contact information if you're interested. You can see the primary vehicle in it's current condition here:
