The work must have been paused because of Eid holidays.
Waiting for some more pictures as soon as the work begins.

my brother partially restored his W115 some years back....yes the parts are very expensive and difficult to find.....apparently, Iran is still making these parts and they come here via dubai.....headlights, tail lights, the works.....second hand wheel covers also cost 500 plus atleast...

I Have seen spares of this model at a shop in Bahoo Mohalla Rawalpindi. A small shop located on the main road having pretty nice collection.

Good going! The foundation of the car does need a lot of work, but you are making progress.

welding so close to the dash with it in place is asking for a fire - remove it

VCheng (VCheng) 2010-09-26 19:29:40 +0500 #140

The work practices do leave something to be desired, but one has to make do with what is available.

Ideally, this car should be completely stripped and mounted on a rotiserrie for restoration, but the work being done is far better than letting it die a slow death.
