The last two weeks of November and the first days of December 2016, I took my 404 C apart at my home garage in anticipation of getting the restoration underway. The restoration is being done by Coachwerks in Victoria BC, a shop that does excellent work:
Coachwerks | Classic Car Restoration in Victoria BC. They are world-renowned restorers of Mercedes 300 SL car, and they do all the bodywork for
| Rudi & Co..
Later in December, the car was at the media blasting shop in Sidney BC, mounted on its cart. I also have a lot of NOS 404C panels cleaned there too. After the shell and NOS parts returned to the restorer in Victoria, the restoration began.
Note the KF2 Injection engine, now on the stand in the photo

In good company: a P1800 under plastic, a 914/6, an Austin Healey 3000, a 911 and a 300 SL
