    A word for a hero who gets never mentioned 🤣😉I've been working in industrial purchase departments for a long time - my full respect for the guy/girl who managed to buy all the spare parts needed for this incredible job. I mean, this car was not produced in big numbers and spare parts for it do not come out of a catalog, right? Respect!

    Nice to see someone having this done on a “higher” mileage R107. 120k miles and receiving thousands of dollars worth of love, more than many 30k mile examples that are worth 4x more than this one that roll through this detail bay. Nice to see more and more R107s getting treated the way they should be by their owners, regardless of its a $70k or $25k example. I have to say tho after all the work this is easily a $30k+ car.

      It looks very good for an American edition though. Of course the optimum would be original black steering wheel, gear shift handle, alu baroque wheels, and no cup holder. Eurobumpers and Eurolights make it look better but I think you should keep this car to US standard as this is the original US edition. The 560 wasn't sold in Europe but the 500 there was just as good or even faster🙂

And loved that you put back the original wheels - don't think I would've chromed them. But.....as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Overall BEAUTIFUL job on Benz!!!!!!!
