Next up will be tackling the interior. Much of the interior is decayed because I don't have a garage. Up to 2000, when I bought the car, it was parked in garages day and night. The sun has taken a toll.
In this picture you can see how the rear panels are falling apart. The seat belt presenters also don't work. I bought some used ones from SoCal Pete, I'll try and get them working again with parts from those. I considered getting new ones from MB, but that would be pretty expensive.
I did get one of the last remaining rear panels for the passenger side, but the driver's side is no longer available. I've located a used panel which is grey and should paint nicely. I also got good used C pillar panels to replace mine, which both have broken clips. I would like to replace the headliner, but I'm told that process will likely destroy the windlace. The driver's side windlace is still available, but not the passenger side. So I'm on the fence about that.
