Hey whunter that is very cool info!
I just bought a 1988 MB 300 SE that is grey with navy leather interior, that I'm very excited about! Just getting the mechanical checked, new tires, new windshield and will be detailed inside. BUT before I do the outside I want to repair/address the little scars, scrapes, little dents, rust
I'm very excited as it is in great shape overall, pretty low km's but needs a little touch up. Every guy that's seen it, drools over the "inline 6"!
- the "grey" rubber bumpers are scarred / scraped
- the chrome has some rusty spots (which I discovered tin foil w water takes most of it out, thanks to another site)
- there are some small rock chips
- a few tiny rust spots
- one dent by the bumper
- weird C shaped cut on the drivers side - which the windshield guys happened to tear again!
- wonky passenger's side back seat to bench - crescent shaped "hole" not sure if the clips are broken or it's lost its springs.
I'd like to address these before our wonderful cold Calgary winter returns, as I do plan on driving it. It will very different going to RWD from FWD.
I called a paint specialist, but he told me they can't match it cause it's too old!
It would be great if you can list the '88 MB 300 SE paint/leather codes!
Do you have any idea where in Canada (or elsewhere if required) to buy the paint/supplies?
Thank you
New proud owner of an '88 MB 300 se!!
