beautiful job. Everything looks brand new

[@petrolheadclassics]

Thank you, Paul! Truly appreciate your feedback. While many parts had to be replaced, we focused on reclaiming and restoring as much of the original substance as possible. And where this was not possible, we sourced 'new old stock' or parts from Mercedes Classic. Thanks again and stay tuned for more content!
