  • The Mercedes s124 restoration begins with a huge problem. The Mercedes w124 Wagon is full of wasps... and poo. I this video I'll show you how to remove animal waste from the engine bay, rid the vehicle of wasps, and clean the Mercedes with a power washer! Have I lost my mind? Is this project too far gone? Be sure to leave a comment and let me know.

    Absolutely worth saving Mike, she deserves to be saved and enjoyed. Mercedes-Benz, just doesn't make cars like this anymore. A side by side comparison video would be great, comparing both the sisters.

    Gorgeous wagon, definitely fix her. But DO NOT connect a battery before repairing the damaged wires. ATM it's probably recoverable but connecting a battery could cause further irreversible damage and possibly a 🔥 fire! If the damaged area are short sections it shouldn't be too difficult to splice in some new wire, but failing that possibly a replacement harness. Most definitely worth saving Mikey. Great video, great purchase, much fun. 👍😎😂🙏

    It's not often someone gets lucky twice but somehow you did it. Lost your mind? You have a yard full of Mercedes so that is up to individual interpretation. I see it as being like Scrooge McDuck sitting on a pile of money as he did in the comic books. Under the hood looked as bad as I thought it would. As others have mentioned, a wiring harness replacement may be the best way out for the wiring. Fascinating video. Thank you for bringing us along on yet another automotive adventure.

    I cleaned out an old scout with an engine compartment full to top from ground up. Rodent pee had rusted parts completely away. They didn’t drag something alive in there they found the bone in a field and brought it back to chew on. Good source of calcium that’s why you never find dead big foots all the critters take the bones to chew on ;)

    I usually make peace with wasps, but if they're in a place they will continue to pose a threat (like your car) what I do is setup a shop vac where they're coming out from and let it run during daylight houses till they're all sucked up. Works well. Make sure you have soapy water in the bottom of your vac.

A little fixing and given her a complete tune she will start without a issue.. I would sell the other, and use the cash to fund the the fixing of this one, who is in much, much, much better shape.

    seriously, you may be the only guy who has two of those. (translation: I'm sooooo envious)
    looks worth saving if not mechanically toast. it cleaned up really nice and the interior looks to be in very good shape. main concern is probably the wiring, even when not pre-chewed the '92-'95 Es famously have that biodegradable insulation. hope you can save her
