Mercules getting ready for Primer

Posted On: April 6, 2008 Posted by: admin

As you can see from the image above, Mercules has been getting a lot of our attention
over the last week. We’ve managed to prep all the paint to be ready for
the first coat of primer (hopefully she’s all primed this week). Everything is
ready bar two doors, they were just too rusted out on the bottom sill to even
bother trying to fix. We have found some replacements which should be here by
the end of the week.

We have also taken care of all the surface rust and minor holes which were
cut out and new pieces of *metal* welded in.

Mercules MCF Project Car Part 1

Posted On: April 3, 2008 Posted by: admin

Well girls and boys, we now have a project car for MCF which we will be building up over the next 2 to 3 months and sharing each step of the build process. We went all out and blew the budget to pieces and purchased an unregistered Mercedes for the princely sum of $500!

The idea was to do something a little different which is why we ended up going for a 1975 230.6 Mercedes Benz (W114). In the engine bay is a straight 6 twin carbide 2.3L uninspiring piece of yawnsville that will be tossed as far away as possible. Right beside that you’ll find the 4spd auto that we’re most definitely not using.
