Heres some pics from my 1968 Mercedes Twin turbo 350 chev project:




This is a pic of the car as it was pictured on ebay



Another ebay pic of the old girl



The new doors fitted. I have been driving her around for a while like this, but Ive since pulled it off the road in preparation for stripping



One freshened up turbo 700 almost ready to go. I have since fitted the torque converter and made a manual overide switch to engage the final lockup gear to give me a 1:1 ration in final gear.



The beast driving the whole thing....with the headers mocked up. The intake manifold and carby are just on to keep all the dust and crap out the valley.



Twin turbo joy!! I have to rebuild one of the turbos just to get the symmetry right between the two. It just looks crap at the moment with one turbo bolted upsidedown. I know some of you will say the colour looks gay but its acutally quite a lot darker than the pictures show, I think the flash was bit close to the engine.



Another angle. The sump is all dinged up so I'm thinking of welding up a custom one myself. I think Im going to have to go custom anyway to clear the undercarriage of the body.

I also read the posts about an intake manifold. I have an Elelbrock Performer intake manifold that I dont need anymore becuase I have tuned port injection. If you are interested please let me know and we can work something out. I also am doing some work for a wreckers here in perth so if you need any bits, I can get em for ya for next to nothing, you just have to get them over there.
