Dismantling doors.

[Graham]

I spent the day stripping 4 W123 doors. These were doors off an early 300D, I think. I have had them stored in garage for years as potential spares, but decided it was time for them to go. Exterior was good, but inside seal channel at bottom was rusted on 3 of 4.

I learned a lot about how they were put together by pulling all the parts off! Always impressed with MB engineering.

Ended up with 2 boxes of parts and trim. Includes 2 motors and 3 lift mechanisms. Two rear windows still had bottom metal channel intact so kept those plus two small fixed rear door panes. Plus lots of metric screws, various clips and usual door hardware.

Good part is - more space in garage!
