It has been awhile since I have been on the forum, glad to be back. Long story short, my old W126 came back to me after 3 owners and 10 years. Needless to say, had to take care of a few things to get it back into shape...

After driving the car for a couple of weeks, I decided it would make a fine daily driver. Even after 30+ cars these old Mercedes just had it right. I started by replacing all of the rubber items underneath.

In the pictures, you will see a couple boxes of goodies, the car dusty from storage, and the original suspension.










Right off the bat I realized I would need to at least correct the patches of rust so I picked up a HF pot-feed sandblaster. It came in handy, especially for the front sway bar and jack holes.



Will continue on next post due to 5 attachment limit.
