Engine bay before .....







Engine bay after ..... I think I will end up painting the radiator and maybe get some new OEM stickers if they are still available.

This car is VERY solid very where, it did have a a bit of surface rust but only in the trunk, so that is being addressed also......


After a good sweep out





After some wire brushing, sanding and removed much of the seam sealer that was peeling away





Trunk area primed with Zero rust encapsulator. Seam sealer goes on next, then satin black paint.






Seam sealer brushed on as Mercedes did, next satin black paint.

More work being done...

Paint touch up - There are a few spots on the car that need paint touch up, I wanted to keep as much of the original paint as possible so what Copper is doing is preparing the surface, then adding layers of paint, then sanding and polishing.

And example as I got the car ......





Sanded and preped .....




After 1st layer of paint, this will still get more layers of paint, then sanded and polished.......

Agreed there's a ton of rusty ones to rat out. Original cars like this are getting harder to find and can only go up in price

Yep, that's why I won't be going to extreme with it.

I wouldn't want to see it rat'ed.
It was more about the drop and wheels.
