Added some ht leads.

As a classic its got to be up there with the EType

So I ran into a small problem with the 300SL the track rod end and the top of the king pin were broken off I tried gluing them back on but they just kept braking off so I drilled out where they should have been and added some bent rod to fix it.
It doesn't look very pretty but is not really visible on the model so I'm not too worried about it.

Just the exhaust and the fuel tank to add to the underneath then time to add body doors and details.
