Sports Leicht Restoration

You may think we only specialize in restoring classic Mercedes, but here is an example of what we can do as well. This 65' Fastback belongs to our metal fabricator/body man, and it's nothing short of amazing. Almost every panel on the car has been replaced and brought back to life. It was mini tubed in the rear to fit a wider tire, all of the rear interior panels were cut, fiberglassed and widened to keep the stock look of the back seat. Super clean firewall and custom inner fenders to hide the AC lines. Adjustable coilover suspension front and rear. Wildwood brakes hidden behind the Budnik wheels, and topped off with a beautiful Subaru- World Rally Blue PPG paint job. This car sure is something to see!

Short walk-around in the paint booth after the panels were painted. (Dont mind the sound of my shoes sticking to the floor lol)

Here are the panels for the 190sl that were painted last week.

Here is a short walk-around of the 190SL right after it was painted. Now we will wait awhile for the clearcoat to cure, lightly wet sand and then buff it. Then begins reassembly!

Finally got this 190SL in the paint booth today and got it back to the original paint color DB172.
