Here's my W126
 A 1986 560SEL that I have just finished bringing back from the dead. Ted, I love that picture of your car. It looks like a Mercedes advertisment.

Thanks Mike!
The snow/muck shocks some of the folks who never see the fluffy stuff in their neck of the woods. I'd say your 560 has been resurrected -- an automotive metaphor for Easter?  Amazing transformation -- Kudos Mike! How's the leather and wood?

Leather is in what I'd call "good shape for 167K", but needs a little attention. A real good cleaning the a dye job will take care of the front seats. The back are in great shape.
The wood is in great shape, except for the center console as it has a bit of cracking. I'm down to about a 10 minute job to swap out that panel, and keep checking the bone yard for an impecable replacement. I also have an extra panel that has the common break at the front edge. I plan on doing a DIY article on how to repair this break - it's sure to help a few folks out there.

Mike, do you also have a w108?
Me and my dad have one 2 (2.8L w/injection) and my dad has a w111 220S that he keeps for himself but its half way trough restoration and the w108 is next inline for a complete resto, do you know of any good parts sources for the w108? Thanks

Yes, I have a W108 (280SEL 4.5) too. It is featured in the DIY section (at the top of the page) during a front sub-frame mount replacement. I get nearly all my parts (mechanical) through this site, but I don't know if they ship to Iceland. Body parts are getting a bit harder to locate but there are several places. Go back through the posts in the Vintage section and you should find some leads. I understand some body parts might still be available through MB, but at a price.

Sam, what kind of muffler did you use? And did you remove the resonators? The thing I want to know the most is...how is the sound? especially inside the car. Thanks

1987 300SDL and Friends!
Found these guys on a road trip, UniMog East, my 12 year old MB aficionado had been counting every MB she saw all day (150+)and just before dark we came around a bend in the two-lane and she was speechless, so we pulled in and had a look around. Way off-road!
