there wasnt any rust underneath there there is some surface rust in the spare tire part though. and i will have to get up with you as soon as i get some money man!!!

surface rust on the trunk floor mean 2 things . your trunk seal is bad . cheap fix. you have a window leak and you have a hole you cant see . best bet is to take out the rear parcel shelf.
easy to do
and spray the living crap with under coating just in case .

while you at it you can redo the shelf

here is mine





Btw if you neglect the rear quarter you will end up with this

You have a step by step on removing the rear shelf?

Looking great man! ESMs are like fool's gold i swear.

easy

remove the speaker grills ( they are brittle so be careful)
get the speakers out
Take off the pillars ( again they brake easy) you dont have take the seatbelt off
remove the 2 bins 3 screws, pull up and out, they are tight so you have to force them out.
remove seat bottoms , two tabs on the front and lift straight out
remove the seat backs they just lift up
the middle peace is held by one screw and then it lifts up.

now the shelf it self is laminated cardboard its brittle as hell .
lift the front out and tug it back don't force it or it will break .

If you want to recover the shelf you have to get all the old fabric out
and all the old glue so razor blade and about 10h of work should do it

Thanks. I found a 560sec in the high desert area here. The interior is mint as can be. I'll be taking the interior for sure.

Glad i could be some inspiration for you to mod your benz! I love how the new shoes look. Tempting to pull the trigger on a set of 17x10s. I keep seeing these around town and they look really good.

im going to run a 10 mm spacer in the rear and a bit of a meatier sidewall tire to give it more comfort. on front and rear wheels. just waiting for some more funds man. and i think your car would look dope with that spec. have you seen the old blockstar car w202?

so i come home the other day to a note on the door stating that our dogs have been seen off the leash and also that we have not been picking up the "droppings" after our dogs poop.
in the letter its states that we have 30 days to move because our lease agreement is being terminated.
with that being said. its a sad day for me. i have lost my job, lost my apartment. and now have to sell the one thing that was going fairly well for me in my life.
i am very thankful for everything that i have gotten thus far and i know in the near future i will have another car that i can peice together.
i really appreciate everyone and their help in this short time that i have owned the car.

i think im going to get a volkswagen as a daily try and find one for super cheap. i have to use the money from the c126 to move into an apartment and get back on my daily grind.
thank you guys for all of your support. it really means alot to come back on my thread and find new posts hahaha. my life isn't the most exciting but stanceworks and the car scene is my drug of choice!!!!

keep on the look out for a new build thread from me coming soon i hope!!!1

good news is i start a job at toyota on monday so hopefully it all works out.
thank you guys for the support and keep it classy!!!
