Hello,
Just wanted to share this. I am in the process of a rolling restoration of my friend's W115 200. It is a 1974 and a condition 3, but needs lots of small stuff doing as the previous owner was not exactly *fastidious*
So far I have taken out the instrument cluster and cleaned up all the gauges and lenses, it looks a treat, but the darn quartz clock is, of course, dead
Cleaned up the brick red MB-Tex interior, looks a treat and it is one of the few cars where the Tex interior has survived this long.
It needs all new rubber in the suspension, sorting out of the fusebox(corroded contacts) and a replacement front left fender(poorly repaired accident damage). Of course, the Stromberg 175CDT carb has lots of wear in the throttle shaft, but the car starts, runs and stops reasonably well.
Next weekend, we plan to change all the fossilized fuel lines and take alook at the brakes(car pulls to the left) and of course a valve lash adjustment, right now it sounds like a gatling gun at idle
Now if only I could find the stainless steel screw for the headlite chrome surround....
Have a good week
