Finally the chassis has some colour again. Instead of going with the boring 774 silver, i went with 934 Chinablue. Now i am currently cleaning the cabin and will also spray a light layer of blue on the cabin
But instead of calling it Chinablue, can we call it germanblue? lol.
you know this has nothing to do with the country Germany correct? The color comes from vintage plates and dishes that originated in China… named after Jin - basic founder of Chinese dynasty….

I remain pleasantly surprised at the breadth and depth of knowledge possessed by this forum's membership. And I mean that in a good way.
I just learned a thing.

Hahaha, it has been a fight sometimes, at around half way i even thought about half assing it and painting the car in a different silver tone, so i wouldn't have to take apart the whole thing, but i'm glad i somehow pulled through and went all the way. The result is worth it

The amount of time you’ve spent is incredible. Most people don’t understand the time that goes into a restoration like this. A lot may also wonder why. It’s simply a passion for sure.
I’ve been in the collision industry my whole life as a career, and have done a few restorations on different vehicles. Every time I finish a job I look back and amazed at what was accomplished.
Excellent job on your project. I do enjoy watching the progress.

@UncleBenz55 All I can say is that you’re epic! I cannot wait to see this in its final form. The work you’re putting in is just incredible. I love the China Blue choice too, super cool. You truly are a Merc Master!!!
I love the workmanship and the pictures of the body. Lets us all see axactlly what the body looks like internally.
I had the whole car apart. I wanted to lightly spray the interior too, so it looks oem. Underside looks pretty slick now. Installed the driveshaft too on Friday. Car shifts into PRDN, so that's also good news. Transmission is 7G MCT btw.
Since it has been a few months, i thought i'd post an update. All parts have been painted and i can put everything back together. After 1.5 years i'm finally seeing the end to this project and i can't wait to finally drive it.
