Previously I had written an article on the ‘Mercedes-Benz W108 / W109’. And I did mention that I had acquired one and am in the process
of restoring it… Well, here’s part of the story. I have to say part as it’s
still in the process of restoration and should only be completed by the end of
June. It’s been some time now but due to some unforeseen delays the car is back
on track and will be on the road once again.
The restoration started with the removal of the engine and
the entire interior of the car to allow the welders to start work on it. It had
rust spots in almost all the common places this car would rust which included
the rear boot bottoms as well as the floor boards and a little in the engine
bay as well as the doors. Welding was done on all the spots to ensure there is
no more rust. With that done the engine is still undergoing a few more repairs
before being put in by the end of May.
Well, that’s all so far, will update once it’s done. Doesn’t
sound like much work but the time that has gone into it is certainly a lot.
Before I forget, a parts car was also acquired to ensure that mine has the best
of both and will look it’s best once it’s done.
