Auto antenna ....

Well this week-end I renovated my automatic antenna  ;D
Cleaned it up, greased it, found the 12V wire from the radio and... voila!
Now, when I turn the radio on... the antenna rises, and off... it hides.
I'm feeling so fine now that another device from my 280se is working (like new  ;))
It also got the polish... with ash... from cigarettes. Old trick used for the chromed antennas.

Me happy... me fix it... me Andrew in Romania.  :D
P.S.: Not drunk, just happy... next: exaust; reason - too noisy

Tomi

very good  :)

what is this trick with the cigarette ash polish. what does it do ?

And when you work with your exhaust, be sure to use safe jacks. Was it your pic in the gallery under the car, it looked quite dangerous.

It gives back the shine...
Put it on a piece of fabric... and rubb.
And yes... that was me "Shakira"  :D
Not dangerous at all... it was in Parking position an park brake pushed.
As for the jacks... don't worry. I'll use a service elevator.

Hope to get some pics of the old exaust... I think 4...6...20 holes  ;D
We'll see....
