I feel and understand your frustration with the 190SL and give you much credit in not pouring gasoline on it and calling it a day. You take on projects that others would / could not, and again, much credit Gary.

Gary…good call on retaining the tank. If I could make a recommendation…when removing the old filler cap rubber, take some isopropyl alcohol and clean the paint, then apply a bit of carnuba wax, then install the new rubber…that way, you’ve got paint clean and protected underneath and you don’t have to wax around the rubber and leave residue

I know. It’s a 1958 car but just 20 years later in 1978 cars had lost their beautiful lines and it seems design had lost its way. Think back 20 years ago from now and cars then look exactly the same as they do now. Ugly boxes. You look back to these well built classics, curvy and lavished in chrome and wood and think what the hell happened?! Regards.

Didn't know that about your parents sorry to hear that. Back in the 1980s all the cars we worked on as mechanics still had asbestos in the brakes and clutches and some of the mechanics i worked with would carelessly blow the brakes out with an airline causing a dust cloud in the workshop 😢

Yes he’s buying the tools!! Be much easier and if make much better progress if I wasn’t driving all over the place sourcing stuff though. The parts place is great. Replaced the pump and allowed me to return the tank I didn’t use. Just a case of a bad supplier I suppose. It happens. It’ll make a lovely car. Regards.

It's unfortunate the tank didn't need replacing, however impossible to know without draining the fuel and still good to remove sedament. Just as replacing parts before they break.

I gave him the option Michael but he decided that considering the magnitude of the work required coupled with the lack of time and no tools, that the best option was to buy new. Of course I could’ve rebuilt them but I think it was the right call. Regards.
