More new parts arrived today....

DSF strut out.. Easy job unless the inner top bolt seized in the captive nut.

Oh no! Tuesday is strut day...

Test fitting the new heels...

The chassis is ok but the DSF door is shot no thanks to this thing...

Note the engravings including build dates & pressures. The 6.9 was supposed the have blue dot 60Bar ones on the rear which is different to the red & green dot ones here.

Some new cells have arrived... Note the different part numbers

The front bumper is stuffed and will be replaced with an Aussie one. To my surprise the mounts are different to the Sth African ones which have energy absorbers & bigger mounting studs. The grille will also be replaced due to a rusted frame & broken insert. Cosmetic yes, but annoying me they do!

So finally the real work starts.... My target ‘finish’ date is 9th September.

Pics pre dead link...

I’m still in contact with the current owner. Latest pix hopefully ready for the 6.9 Anniversary Cruise...

Was a W116 of course!! Motor Manual Christmas 1978....

Seek & Ye shall find!! An article probably not seen since 1978.... And no sign of any other car!!

Cross fingers.... 🤞🏻🤞🏻
