Description

We encounter many Mercedes-Benz 280SL in the world of European Classic Car restoration. However, not many are yellow. This example is in excellent condition, except for a bit of rust in the trunk pan. Our technicians prepped everything just right, then got in and took care of the rust.

We then finished bodywork on the brand new trunk pan. After that, we painted the trunk interior as well as applying factory-correct undercoating to the exterior. We specialize in European classic car repair - so it's always fun to have a classic like this in the shop.
