One of the good things about the W123 cars is that the hood will stand 90 degrees straight up, in place for service, can you do that on the 107 SLs? I have cheated on the W115s and unbolted the hood from the hinges, but would prefer not to do that on the 380SL.

Seats are coming out soon for repair. Then we'll see what else needs repair besides the seal between the hardtop and the windshield frame. The PO had sealed this and it's gonna be fun redoing it! I can tell.

But I have all winter and the cars not going out anywhere until I check all the basics.

In the meantime, gotta get a title changed and buy the CD, then start printing out the owner's manual, so I have it handy

As always, thanks for the help.
