im goin to pick up a w108 on the weekend, the steering wheel in mine is leather wrapped but its fucked. was yours wrapped and you took it off, or did some of them come with the wheel like this?

every wheel came like this, leather wrap was aftermarket. you can find these wheels crack free on ebay for not too expensive (maybe$100-200ish)

White ones look rad but run $500+ for a non-cracked one

i want PICS when you get it son

[martinm13]

nice thanks for the info. i have one pic of it right now, its about 2 hours away from me and i need to put it on a trailer to get it home as the brakes need some work / it has been sitting for a bit and i dont trust the gas, tires, any other rubber etc lol. guy im buying it from has had it for 30 years, it was the family car when he was a kid. binder full of service records and shit

hell yea looks sharp

all parts are pretty much available from mercedes classic center. do all the fuel lines 1st for sure

I put a fire extinguisher in the trunk to just for good measure

stoked you got it, these things are great on the road and such a classic benz. respect for snapping one up! what are your plans?

[martinm13]

thanks man! fuel lines and general maintenance/tune up shit is first for sure. plans are pretty much just to make it as glorious as it was in 1973. I have an extra compressor, tank, switchbox and some bags but im not sure if i want to bag it or just leave it

Absolutely loving your Merc. Excellent job.

Great day up at Mercedes March Madness in Lake forest, the 280se took home a Best in Show award which I was stoked on. Good dudes up there and stoked to meet jzm3 while he was over on vacation.
