308/1979
Hello everyone! I'm restoring an old MB308 camper from 1979. Both the side door and the back doors are welded shut, which is something I'm going to brake up again. However I have little to no knowledge of this car. I'm looking around for the hinges but can't really see them and I have no idea where they should be placed either. I have a few ideas but I need help! Probably need help finding them if they are as I suspect, gone. IMG_20210519_171818.jpg IMG_20210519_171953.jpg

Making it easier for you all with some pictures.

the hinges are located on the outside,and there is a slot in the door and the pillar and the hinge goes through the slots and then the plate is bolted on through those holes

I wonder if we have the same model, but everything here is welded or puttied together so.

The hinges on the green minibus are an optional extra 270 degree opening denoted by the door catch on the side of the body work.
Second hand hinges my be available from an ebay seller who breaks them for spares. He goes under the name of bungle 05
Mercedes still hold some spares for this model of van.

Fantastic, thanks all! I noticed that it probably is the same hinges as the green one. They've just welded and puttied everything. I got a hold of both doors including all at a local scrapyard, incredibly enough. Just gonna change them instead.
