I have just come across David's post featuring the rims he purchased. They were nigh on perfect and I don't think that he had to re-paint any of the Bundts - and they are all the correct size.
In the olden days, say perhaps five to ten years ago, wreckers had any number of them virtually laying around the yard, and very much unwanted. Try to buy some today. Unfortunately, 116s are probably not "flavour of the month" these days, and I believe probably container loads of 108/109/116 parts have found their way back to Europe. You're not likely to find many body parts at the wreckers, particularly for the 109 lwb models. Even one of the most "thrifty" wreckers (throws nothing away) in Sydney is having difficulty supplying various items.
The GREEN 450SLC is quite rare. I think that even the interior sports a similar colour although I stand to be corrected on this. Ten years ago I was offered a Gold 450SE and that GREEN 450SEL by the same owner. GJ1122 and GJ 2211. I bought the Gold One for $3K. because I wanted the interior for another car, but I knocked back the SEL. All the guy wanted was $1K. and it was a good car. I just had too many projects on my hand.
That "Gold One" became the subject of a fairly lengthy thread on TK. It is now in the hands of another owner. More of that a little later. Regards Styria
