Congrats!!! I’ve got an ‘80 450 SL and have enjoyed restoring it even though she’s been a high maintenance Mistress. That said she drives and handles like a dream. I look forward to watching more of your videos. I like your approach. Essayons !!!
oooh yeah that would be nice! I was just watching your A/C videos again, my system has no leaks, but the compressor wont click on when I jump the switch. Kicking myself, because I had the compressor out of the car early on in this series and did not test it for some reason. it is quite the process to get it back out
GOOD VIDEO! I AM SURPRISED THAT YOU DID NOT PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR YOUR SEAT BEFORE RECOVERING THE FRAME WITH THE NEW COVERS. MY SEAT COVERS I BELIEVE ARE IN BETTER SHAPE THAN YOURS, BUT MY DRIVER SEAT IS NOT EXACTLY SUPPORTIVE. DIDNT YOU REQUIRE NEW/ADDITIONAL SPRINGS?????? THANKS
Congrats! Can't wait for the day my sons '81 380SL drives out the garage like this!
Keep working and it will come! Little by little! Thanks for the support!

Thank you for the kind words!
Nice job! The gray paint and wood don’t look too bad on camera. Try to get some original metal windshield wipers if you can get your hands on them. 😊

@@FLManGarage ohh man. Ya, the compressor is way in there. I heard you have to remove the subframe to get to it.
@@sophiathe380sl yeahhh, and I had the subframe out. Ughhh such a dumb mistake to not test the compressor while it was out
@@dannylakatos5599 we’re all learning from our dumb mistakes.
FYI for the red seatbelt button you can use wax to rejuvenate them.
thank you for that tip, i will try that in the future!
Ciao complimenti per il video.
Dove hai acquistato le fodere dei sedili? Non ho ben capito❤
Thank you! Lseat.com
Excellent video series! Where did you get that wooden steering wheel from?
Thank you for the kind words! I got the steering wheel from a seller on ebay, came with the adapter and everything

Surprisingly the springs were in great shape, however, i wish i would have added more foam material in certain spots!
