What really gets my goat nowadays is the number of people that go to the trouble of posting ads and then don't bother answering their phone, or email messages! Quite often they don't even have a proper voicemail... "Your message will be converted to text", or "Your number will be sent as a...

Finally prices have reached the proper levels.... Hehe! :rolleyes:;):D:eek: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mercedes-6-3-ltr-V8-300SEL-6-3-1968-1973-M100-W109-/221747569704? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mercedes-Engine-6-3-ltr-V8-suits-600-Grosser-or-300SEL-6-3-1960-1973-M100-/221746989370...

Obviously the 6.9 became too much for even the likes of the great KB! Seems like he bought it purely because it was a Euro with rare options like ABS and didn't consider the amount of rust it had.... I'm rather surprised he didn't buy a better one, but not surprised he didn't have the time for...

Isolated isn't always a good thing!! :eek::eek:

Some great results (from a local company too)! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dash-Designs/215317978480153?pnref=story It looks like they can do almost anything to the interior of a car, as well as veneer restoration.... Seems they don't have a website yet.

Video!! We want video!!!

Well you know what they say about cheap MBs.... Might not be so cheap in the end! But this might be worth a look since it's a great colour combo: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/E8UAAOSwv0tVCJ-7/$_57.JPG...

Now I know Geoff will hate this since it's a diesel, but it is interesting to me since I'm faced with similar repairs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha4LEB73MOc Note the cold air intake!

That is all for now!

Front roof section (3 layers!!): Rear: Next to the fusebox showing the hole that's been partially blocked by sealer (factory):

Rear section: 1/4 bracket: Rear subframe: Very sad (why does it remind me of the Red Pig):

The culprit: Rear parcel shelf: Box section including seal: Boot and rear 1/4: Boot lip:

Box section under the front of the rear seat: What's that rattling noise: Scary rust under the rear of the back seat. This is sealed.... Rear wheel arch:

How the panels meet under the front screen: Front screen area doesn't leave much for the seal: Under the front seat:

After cutting with a cordless saw: I cut away the bonnet hinges for Dora: Double skinned firewall: Rust free? LF floor: Plenum in a 'rust free' car is scary!

Fuesbox removed: There should be sufficient clearance for water to drain if it's kept debris free:

Next to the fusebox: Wheel arch under the fuse box (note grommets): Steel bracket under the dash preventing access to the fusebox nuts: Bottom of the bracket above the accelerator pedal: In this pic you can just see one of 5 nuts to be removed: Fusebox out after some serious wire...
