  • We had the honor to speak to Maciej Bakowski, founder of classic rescue coachwork shop is NY. The "Red Pig" project took him well over 6 years to complete and man, what a great story he has. "The were so many moments I wanted to give up on this project. The frustration of finding more rust which made the project so much harder, then, when I got everything installed - the engine, transmission... the wiring started. And I am not the best at it, it's my weakest point. so yeah, there were challenging times. There were periods of 3-4 months where the car was covered and I didn't touch it. I had to take a break. But I love progress. It is my moto in life, I guess. So I took a break and looked at some cool pictures and It brought the memories back and I was like, 'Ok it's time to get back to work'. So if you wanna build something like this, if you don't have very deep pockets, you have to have a really big heart, you know?"

    Good job man! I love working on old Mercedes, but you rarely see anyone modifying them, doing cool things with them, but you did that. I am doing it also. My friend and I are getting an early r129 500sl that has been sitting in a field and the interior is destroyed, and it has no title anymore, and we are going to use all the parts from it to turn my 1991 300E into the ultimate outlaw 500E. Are you hiring?

    I am looking at one on Barrett Jackson auction this week at Palm Springs maybe buying one to use for vintage racing- it has an auto transmission it would need a Tremec 5 speed I think.

    Hi, where did you find the 6.8 lt engine? Was it on the original car you bought ?
