My w123 every week it’s a happy I found this rust spot and prevented it from destroying my car moment

Thank you! I love these cars, but they also scare me.

I follow you on Facebook but had no idea that you had a RUclips channel, awesome.

Great information.👍

[@richwarth]

Would have thought SA cars would endure better than those in Blighty. Reminds me of Lancia Fulvia, that the front end could literally break away from rest of car. Great video

[@oldmercguy]

A lot of rust along the SA coastal areas.

[@alanhusgen6704]

Thanks for the video. Is a W114/5 worth rebuilding if one can find a complete and rustfree example?

[@oldmercguy]

Yes absolutely. Even those with a bit of rust are worth restoring.

[@note_finger]

but what do you mean the structural integrity of the car is gone? and beyond saving? you have the space and obviously the equipment to bring the structural integrity back to life.

[@oldmercguy]

We’re a scrapyard not a restoration shop.

[@note_finger]

@@oldmercguyohh okay, but still though you guys still have the equipment to bring it to life if you guys wanted to..

[@i99albsi]
