YOU ARE CORRECT!!!! A lot of work a LOT of $ AND a LOT of headaches for sure have one been there done that! EXCEPT I have to have some one do the work! Great video
Keep up the great work Pete. I know these cars, mine included, will make you beat your head against the wall sometimes. BUT IMO it's worth it. I'm hoping to get to work on the back of mine soon. I've watched your w124 videos over and over.
I think I got lucky, my car looks to have springs all the way around. That being said I have no hardtop and I think my softop is just too far gone. I also gave you a shoutout on my last video
Thanks bro. Damn soft tops are expensive and insane to instal. Hopefully you can find a hard top. Wish I had an extra one for you. As for springs, you will still have springs with the hydraulic suspension. Suspension was only meant to level the car out when adding weight. It was revolutionary but has a lot of issues when it gets old. A lot of people swap to normal shocks when they fail because hydraulic shocks are about $1500 and standard shocks a few hundred.

R129's are one of my faves, good luck with restoring!

I meant your w140
Thanks. Also always feel free to reach out if you need help. I can do my best to help out.
Looks like the nitrogen spheres have gone. Its a hydropneumatic system where the weight is carried by the gas in the spheres and the coil springs
Definitely could be but main issue was leaking from the manifold but I’m almost convinced now it was something I couldn’t see behind the manifold
I would convert the ADS suspension to springs.
I will most likely be doing that just wanted to give it a shot to fix. I don’t like giving up on stuff but sometimes for sanity you need to walk away.
