Oh this is fun!

Have a look at the madness in my thread =>

http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/body-repair/303669-my-w123-saloon-sedan-old-accident-repair-bit-rust-repair-thread.html

There's some classic bits of W123 trouble in there. Such as

Near subframe mounts (rear of car)







Rear wheel arches









Front corner of floor pan and lower bulkhead and sill trouble





Rear corner of floor pan and the "step" for the subframe trouble










Happy days!

Yeesh! I should have taken pictures of the rust in some of the parts cars I've dissected over the years. ..

Classic!

Yep it does seem like that doesn't it?

Other stuff gets in the way - I've recognised that the W123 needs so much help that a persistent glacier approach to progress is probably the least stressful way of doing it.

I like that glacier analogy.

Good luck with your project - It should keep you out of trouble for some time yet!
