UPDATE: Given we’ll be busy all weekend, here’s a look back at the tenth(!) anniversary of our trip through California…

It was ten years ago this week that we were visiting Dan Horenburger, viewing his collections, then tramping up to the former M*A*S*H location near Malibu, before meeting a lost Romanian woman. Wow, does time fly!

Blaine shared this MB rebuild video by Al’s Garage. There are a few deviations from stock, but still it’s clear a lot of time was put into saving this old MB. Kudos for documenting this as getting the light and other details correct while focusing on rebuilding is a tedious task!

To view the video, you’ll need to go to Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5XbCjy4nW4

Thanks to Joe-in-Mesa for finding these two toys and scoring them for only $20 (for both). Neither are pristine, but they will work in my collection.
