1995 SL500
Joining the ranks

Just wanted to pop in and welcome myself appropriately.

Just purchased a new to me 1995 SL500. Looking forward to learning more about her and how to bring her back to her total beauty.

I know she will need some work but is currently a very nice drivable car and from my test drives and quick trip home from the previous owner is such a nice smooth ride. I am hopeful to get her insured and registered shortly so that I can enjoy her for the summer and prep for repairs over the winter.

As requested a pic of her, Sorry would have more but work is getting in the way. Cant wait to take her for a proper ride and really enjoy her.

Plans currently, resync and check the soft top hydraulics, check out engine harness (prob needs replacement), look into repairing paint defects and chips, replace damaged interior pieces, oh and DRIVE HER!
