Hello Brothers,
I have been gifted with this Mercedes w115 by my Grandfather. Unfortunately my grandfather wasn't able to drive the car since 2009 due to his illness. So the car had been unattended for 3 years but now as it has been given to me so i have decided that I'm gonna restore it to its former glory. Its engine is totally fine but its body and suspension need some work. I have already started working on it. I will Inshallah updating this thread regularly. So dear brothers wish me luck for my project.
Brief History:
This car is with my grand father since 1980. It was an embassy auctioned vehicle. since then it has been with my grandfather and was quite well looked after till 2009 after that the car has been suffering a lot. The car has been reconditioned before too back in 1997. At the moment the car is in urgent need of bodywork as the rust has gathered on quite a few places. This car is special because it is a rare version, It is a 240D 3.0 with sunroof which came with an original OM-617 (3000cc) diesel engine. Only 53,000 cars were made with this engine.
