WTB: W108 Rocker Panels, Radio, Steering Wheel
Well the title says it all...not much to do on the W108 I bought from Curtis on here...
But I'd like to get it up to speed a bit... Will handle the small bits of rust myself in the trunk/wheel well area...but am considering just replacing the rockers... Would like the stock radio...or something similar in working order... White/Creme steering wheel (no need for the horn rim and pad etc)...just the wheel... Already flipped through Adsit and a few other places...and put out feelers for the rockers elsewhere...but if you guys have anything...let me know. Thanks

Thanks kmuk...
Still looking for the above though the radio replacement may be on hold for awhile since after removing the aftermarket alpine unit...the wiring revealed itself to be a bit of a mess... Would still love a steering wheel in white/creme and could use the dash bow wood trim...the piece that sits on the dash at the base of the windshield...

Have you checked ebay for the steering wheel? I see white / cream steering wheels everytime I've looked.
The Mercedes Classic center in Irvine sells new ones for about $400-$500.

I've been checking the bay everyday for the most part for a few assorted parts and mechanical bits...
I just missed a really nice white wheel that was ending Friday I believe but it appears the listing was removed a bit prior to end...wonder the reasoning... Don't need the horn ring or pad...just the outer wheel...and was hoping to go a bit below 200 for just that piece...and the one listed in the $70s is in about the same shape as mine... But so far ebay has been a good spot to find some stuff... Thanks for the links...I might bite on the 299 one in the future if it's still available... Thanks!

The secret is in what you put in the search box in ebay. If you just type in Mercedes Steering Wheel, you're gonna get over 3,000 hits. You have to try 280, 280SE, 4.5, 108, W108, etc.

That is definitely the truth...
I just stick with w108 and whatever piece I'm looking for...250 doesn't yield the desired results the past week or two...
