Last weekend we visited the @mercdes.bsky.social Museum in #Stuttgart. Really nice and interesting. Paid some extra interest in the S123 on display. It had almost the km's on it as our little roadtrip.

Today we had our first drive ever in a similar @mercedesnl.bsky.social #W123 that was converted by #SchilderElectric in #Limmen The company owner, Menno Schilder, was really friendly and enthusiastic. Having said that, our approach will be totally different. Never the less, it felt briljant!

Looking for some descent (summer!) tires size 195/70 R14 without breaking the bank. #Michelin #Continental #Hankook where are you when I need you... My @mercedesnl.bsky.social deserves something better than obscure brands.

Next job some proper #seat #restoration. Man these things are worn and heavy. All foam is crumbling, the springs are weak and the upholstery is faded. A German company, SJS Carstyling has all parts available for a fair price. First determine what needs to be restored. #Amsterdam #Mercedes #Classic

In Dutch and German, the #headliner of a car is called "roof heaven,". Well happy to announce the #heaven has arrived ;) Thanks sjs-carstyling.com #s123 #Mercedes

Rust on an old #Mercedes used in a humid climate is a real pain. This week we removed the rear bumper that was rusted away to discover new holes. But it is also fixed. Next step, the sunroof.

It is amazing what some craftsmanship can do. Lowlve how the people at #DeKadetterette from #Cordaan in #Amsterdam take care of the car. Next up the sunroof and the rear wheel drive. #ev #mercedes

First we need to tackle some rust issues on the body. #Cordaan a social company in #Amsterdam, with their #Kadetterette is supporting us. A group of people, that need some help, learn how to restore and repair cars.

Volg hier hoe we een klassieker ombouwen naar een elektrische auto. Van ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) naar een EV (Elektrisch Voertuig).

The 8th of June 2024, we have bought our beauty. It took some time to find her and although she has quite some experience (almost 420k km's). She still starts, goes smooth and makes us (and people on the road) smile. As she was 38 years old, she had some rust issues. #Mercedes #S123 #W123 #280TE
