[W126 Coupe] FrankenBenz Renovation for the Discerning MBConnoisseur

[Mike R.]

If I read the article correctly, they keep the outer skin of a door and 
attach it to their "slide under the car mechanism door thing". Probably 
would save weight going this route!!

Now all I need is permission from SWMBO to park the car inside. :-)

Later,

Owner, very slow FrankenBenz
