I was wondering today what MB could've done to make the 6.9 more destinctive from the rest of the W116s and why they chose not to at the time? In fact, I was wondering why they chose to provide option code 261 (delete trunk badge)? On making them more destinctive, my suggestions would've...

I think it's even your colour Tim! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs9AiWR2dyc&list=PL7CC60A2595A27449

I originally bought some parts from it after a tip-off. During my panic stripping, I quickly assessed the rest of the car and decided it was so good that the whole thing was an essential purchase! I initally got the seatbelts and fuel divider (along with various smaller bits), but with the...

A parts car I bought a few weeks back.... Back at home and cleaning out: Once cleaner:

Update to an old thread.... Pics!

Went into the big smoke today, intending to test drive an A or C Class. We also considered test-driving VW, Audi, Volvo, and Lexus later in the day. After 4 hrs at the MB dealer we ended up with..... After a shaky start, the experience was excellent and we take delivery of her in a week...

Very wise indeed! :)

If it didn't have air injection pipes I'd swear that was a 500SEL engine! It'd pay you to get the vacuum cleaner out and check for rust in the plenum and firewall as per the following thread: http://www.topklasse.org/forums/showthread.php?t=4390 If it has bad rust in these areas then it's a...

I know it's not a 6.3, but I'm sure many parts are interchangeable and it could save a very sad one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271158287947?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Today I got out one of my industrial vacuum cleaners and attacked Moby and Arrow; OMG the crap that came out! I'd even steam cleaned Arrow recently.... So some suggestions on where you should focus your attention: Fuse box (RHS), Cruise control actuator (underneath), Suspension front valve...

Somehow it's not the same without the standard engine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFObUhEZyrg

Now that's gotta be expensive!! :cool: http://www.topgear.com/uk/photos/sls-roadster-becomes-55-merc-300-sc-2013-02-15

..... will arrive in 3 days! So excited!!!! And I wonder if it'll have a positive effect on MB popularity in the wider community and resale values?

I'm wondering how well an SLS will age and what they'll be like in 30+ years? Being that most parts are unrepairable (computers and all plastics), will parts be so insanely expensive that they're almost worthless? The W140 V12 almost falls into this category now.... If that's the case it'll...

Last lot of the engine after a steam clean. There was so much crap in there I'm amazed she didn't catch fire! There's still stuff around the ballast that I have to remove.....

I thought I posted pics of this one before, but I couldn't find anything in a few searches. She arrived home on Friday so I finally have all of them in one place. Moby and Nugget are out in the weather, but they're both parts cars anyway.

This one arrived at my place on Friday! Lovers of the 6.9 should look away because this one's been through hell.... :(:confused::mad: It shocks me how badly some were treated. I give you Moby Dick (I really should stop naming my parts cars):
