Ok so I have the opportunity to buy a real rough and incomplete 560SEL. But I'm still wondering if it's worth having all those bits to worry about. It's an Aussie built in 10/86 with a VIN of W1260392A267775. It has a 72232302806667 trans (part # 1262707601) and a diff with a tag that says...

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 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...

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...
