Ok guys and girls......
This isnt gonna be a show car restro build cause im just a poor tech who works on mercs..........
I will try to show how some simple things are done tho what can be done at home on these older cars.........
So, this is what i am starting with
As you can see, the trim is good apart from the standard drivers side boster,
I already have a list of things to do to start with........
Engine mounts x 3.
Prop donuts x 2
Exhaust is blowing
Magnetic clutch on the cooling fan not working.
Rear speakers not working
Exhaust hanger broken letting the back box hit the body
Loads of free play on throttle
Massive brake imbalance and one sticking on.
Steering damper lost its oil.
The list will prob get bigger once i get it to work and get her up in the air, first job will be the wheels, while there being done i will pull the brakes apart and reburb them and get the calipers painted...........
So, first job done already......
