That restoration is coming along amazing! I can't wait to see the finished product, the color is exactly the color I want to paint my 109, though I'm having trouble convincing my wife that it'll look good. finish soon so I can show her! :D

I'd be grateful if someone could advise when the vertical side lights came out on the S2 - i haven't seen them before. Was it just for the last few S2a?

thanks , not had much time recently with work etc but hoping to get back on track with it soon, its taken hundreds of hours but will be well worth it in the end
 
That is a stunning job, well done, wish I had the patience, tools and ability! Good luck with the rest of it, look forward to seeing the final result.

Quick question, you retained the Free Wheeling hubs it seems? Were they original? Excuse my ignorance.

Mine ('76 109) has them as after market, and I will probably leave them off when I redo the hub oil seals, as I can't get the orings and don't do enough miles to warrant keeping them really.
 
cheers ,has been a lot of work to get this far, the free wheel hubs i think wer after market units but they were sound so i decided to use them again

they would no doubt have been standard hubs , same front and back

will post some more pics as i get a bit more done
 
well as promised , at long last iv started to cobble it all back together again , after fitting the shockers
