I LOVE wagons! That's all we had as a kid and I'm 55 years old. I would be very interested in your products for my vehicles. Thank you for the relaxing videos.
Oh my goodness, I always look forward to Saturday morning to see what you are detailing but this really did it for me… I drive an ‘82 300td and I love these old Mercedes wagons! The OM617 engines in these are highly coveted by both classic Mercedes enthusiasts and Jeep off-roader engine swappers because of their stout construction, low end torque and good mileage, so it doesn’t surprise me that the engine has been cannibalized. What does surprise me is that A: Someone let this beautiful car get in such a state and B: that it hasn’t been totally parted out. If it weren’t for the rust, this car would be in pretty great shape. The 14” alloy Barock (AKA Bundt) wheels are in really good condition as is the trim, grille and light surrounds. Even the dash cap and interior seem to be in really serviceable condition. It makes me happy that you pulled this out and did this car right after someone did it so wrong… I am going to go wash my car and give it a hug.
Almost everything blue inside I thought was black. The polish on the paint was amazing. I really enjoy the way you do your content. If you haven't already, how about a video that tells your stories; and how you got to where you are now?
Hello, you are proof that no dirt is invincible!!! Level 10 cleaning satisfaction!! I hope this wagon becomes a happy donor to someone with a 300D memory and restoration project.
Officially my favorite channel. These barn finds and the details bring me back in time. Every one of these cars sitting there in this video were new when I was a kid. I remember being driven to school in one of these. Great content. 👍🏼
You guys did an amazing job for sure! Are there any restoration plans for this car? It would be sad to have your hard work to go to waste. Hoping someone will take the car in. These TD’s are absolute gems and should be protected at all costs!!!
I love those old Mercedes-Benz I had an uncle that used to have one of those you cleaned it up very well you guys impress me with everything you do every weekend keep up the good work
FYI those 'preheater' cables usually connect to an element just like you have in you hot water heater. That heater is usually in one of the freeze plug locations and it heats the water in the block to a certaing temp and keeps it there
We've had wagons all our life until the kids were grown up. So much more practical. I love the styling on this Merc. It would be amazing to see it with a rebuild and a new engine.
A friend of mine lived in Oregon but came from Alaska and had one of those plugs. She said almost every new car came from the dealership with those pre-warmers installed. The idea was that you'd plug in overnight and the engine wouldn't drop below freezing... Apparently. ;)
You Guys do some really sweet projects, have you ever kept up with say one of those barn finds that needed more after the TLC you guys put into them. Would be really cool to follow-up on one,to see if its on the street or in a show room.
This transformation would be beyond belief if I hadnt just watched it happening. What a huge change. Sad to say, with all the severe rust damage like EVERYWHERE, this will likely become a parts source for other vehicles restorations or repairs. Keep up the great content, so kewl to watch. Thank you!
I grew up with wagons! I started driving in the 60's and my father had two Chevy Wagons, one BelAir and one Caprice with Wood trim as well as a Ford Country Squire. When I married, once again I picked up an Oldsmobile Wagon from the 80's. To this day, I still pick up old wagons...my last two were a 90's Buick Roadmaster Country Estate blue wagon with 200k and was like driving a couch on wheels, and an 80's VW Passat Wagon totally loaded~ I'm a Wagon Girl!!!
Mr. B. Here ! 👀😎👍🍸🇺🇸. For the most part ; that Ben’s wagon may have had a repaint ( Baby Blue ) might be rare ! Since wagons are disappearing , if the underside is not to bad make a sleeper out of it and have fun with it . Very nice on the clean up ! 👍👍👍👍🍸🍸
Every panel on the car is rust rotted, does not have an engine, no way is it worth restoring. Great job cleaning it. Wish you guys were in Arizona. NO RUST!!
I honestly thought that the interior was black, but it's actually a very dark blue, but we couldn't see it because of all the years of mold and grime buildup. These are the kind of videos I like because the car's a light colour and you can see the difference between the before and after. Love your videos!
Wagons all day. It was my first car out of the military. Plus you got all of the benefits of a sedan with the extra space of the wagon. Awesome vehicles!
Oooh! This brings back so many memories. My father used to have a '83 Mercedes 300D. It wasn't a wagon, but the interior was almost exactly the same as this one. We travelled from Spain to Sweden (and back) in the summer of 1990 in that car. I suppose this one is too bad to be restored, but I hope some of your other 'rescues' have made it. Is is possible to know it or watch any restoration (after your detailing) in a different channel? Keep up the good work!
Hey guys. Love watching your channel. The 2nd badge is the official coat of arms from my beautiful island nation of Bermuda. We are a British terroritory just about 700 miles off Cape Hatteras North Carolina coast. That car obviously had some connection with someone from Bermuda 🇧🇲🇧🇲
Your best videos have been the Mercedes. Did Brett keep the Volvo? Did Robert keep the 1964 190 you initially did? I love wagons! Thank you and keep up the good work!
I am a retired GM Dealership mechanic. I prefer American vehicles, but I know that the materials they use on some of these "Mercedes" is very good. I have owned 5 vehicles in my life {67 yrs old} and at this time still own the last two. We live in a throw away world. You are showing that many of these vehicles can be worth fixing up. Thank you for that. The last 3 vehicles I purchased were NEW. I have the 1990 chev pickup and 2016 chev cruze. Clearly a good body man and new drive line, this would be a nice ride. As a mechanic I have seen some really gross vehicles and I was expected to work on them. I also noticed "mice" do not care if it is a Mercedes. In the shop we could tell just how cold winter is going to be by how many wiring harness were made into mouse nests.
I bought a 123 series sedan in Germany that was 6 years old and it was as if off the showroom floor like new! The engine was the issue and after swapping it with a newer one the car lasted me through many years. This is a timely classic car and as many as possible should be saved.
The color is China Blue, and it is magnificent. I owned a w123 sedan alongside a convertible 560SL in Diamond Blue Metallic. I loved the sedan as it was a spectacular slow car, but I prefer the wagons lately.
In my country, those cars never die, the people just take them and make it road worthy no matter if it’s rotted from bottom to top. I saw some in a worst condition and getting back on the road with no major issues.
id be willing to give your degreaser a try, if you can send some to the uk lol be interesting to see how it performs on our dirtbikes as well a as the cars i detail, awesome job guys amazing vid as always
@@PinguinPat Someone like me parts aren't gonna be a problem cause Mercedes takes care of their customers you got a Merc they got your parts doesn't matter how old it is
Good Morning Gentlemen. I have seen a few of your Excellent video's of your Fabulous Detailing, with various vehicles. Your Incredible Attention to a Professional Detailing. You really make these Beautiful vehicles shine. What you did and achieved making this rare Mercedes 300 Turbo Diesel into a Shiny new penny or Dime. You really are the Best. What a Great channel you have. Thank you.
I’m glad you guys saved the Mercedes from getting scrapped all though it’s pretty rusty I must say BUT it’s repairable you just need a lot of cutting and welding new body parts to it because rust is like cancer it comes back
Hello, I prefer the wagons. Unique styling, room for passengers, cargo alike. The auto detail will determine what level of restoration is needed. This wagon worth saving. A sporty beautiful car in desirable color. And collector pricey. Cheers 🥂 to quality n engineering
I love the W123 chassis Mercs. I own two of these grand ladies of the autobahn. An 83 300D sedan with 240k miles on it and an ultra rare 1978 230 sedan, which was a one year only 4 cylinder gas engine powered model with a mere 67k miles. Both are completely original.
My high school graduation car was Dodge Colt station. A few vans and trucks through the years and now since 2005 I've been driving my Dodge Magnum RT. Even though the insurance company has it listed as a van, it's a station wagon !
Absolutely love the colour of this, and the spec with the alloys. Yes it’s very rusty, but surely has been able to be fixed? What is the story with it now??? Please tell me it has been dismantled 😢
Crazy you guys don't have block heaters. Here is Canada you have to plug your car in on very cold nights or you're not going to work the next day lol. Diesel or gas powered, we have block heaters. We have a blizzard happening right now here in Manitoba. Great video this week.
Do you prefer wagons or sedans?
Dont forget to like & subscribe to help us push to 750k by the end of the year!
Sedans but as a winter beater wagons all day
Don’t really prefer just like seeing older vehicles lol 👊
Long roof ftw
Wagons E55 AmG Wagon 300Te, 300TD fire
Wagons
This car doesn't need a detail, it needs a restoration.
Both for sure. We already got the detail though. Now it just needs to be restored.
It needs a miracle to be honest
It,s too much rusty and not engine...better to scrap
@@josemiguelmendozahernandez1779 it just needs a body fix and engine replacement
@@josemiguelmendozahernandez1779seen worse fully restored

That's so cool! & yeah we weren't too surprised to find it in that state either.

If this car would see barn, it wouldn't be done.
I love wagons!!!! Keep showing them. Thanks

DID•YOU•EVER!!!
I love those old Mercedes-Benz I had an uncle that used to have one of those you cleaned it up very well you guys impress me with everything you do every weekend keep up the good work
The quality, eye for detail and the materials they used was really of a high level. Really build to last a long time.
You guys are the literal definition of one man's trash is another man's treasure. Great job.

Buenas tardes, bonito e interesante Mercedes, mucho trabajo , ❤💪🖐️👍🇪🇦
Will it start?
Im guessing they meant the glowplugs, but since they are 'Muricans , they dont even know what those are for in a diesel family car 😂
@@sanyey8405it’s a block heater. It’s not attached to glowplugs
Most heaters i saw were attached to oil pan
Awesome Job guys!11 out of 10 work!Have a great Saturday be safe everyone.God Bless
We've had wagons all our life until the kids were grown up. So much more practical. I love the styling on this Merc. It would be amazing to see it with a rebuild and a new engine.
Wow guys! That Mercedes really turned out nice! Great job! I love wagons. Someone is going to have a good starting point for a project!

The badges are markers you get in Germany to show how many miles you have on the car, kinda like trophies earned by the car
Every panel on the car is rust rotted, does not have an engine, no way is it worth restoring. Great job cleaning it. Wish you guys were in Arizona. NO RUST!!
Thank you for starting the process of saving that precious old relic.
Even though this beast needs loads more work, the cleaning process was a real treat, love the video and that colour too.

These are the kind of videos I like because the car's a light colour and you can see the difference between the before and after. Love your videos!
My dad had one of those on our cars in the form of a dip stick it kept The engine block warm and wouldn't freeze and crack
I want to add y'all are great I love to watch the vids. I couldn't ever do what y'all do. Love to watch all the hard work
My favorite type of Mercedes is the old wagons. Very cool!

Man i really wish if these guys start a WD restoration segment
Another great one. You guys definitely have a winning formula and great videos. You'll get to 750k very soon, and then on to 1,000,000! Studs.
Thanks man! That means a lot
@@WDDetailing You bet guys. Well deserved.
Hey guys. Love watching your channel.
The 2nd badge is the official coat of arms from my beautiful island nation of Bermuda. We are a British terroritory just about 700 miles off Cape Hatteras North Carolina coast.

I'm 64 and currently drive my 16th 4 door sedan, love them ❤
I love old Mercedes and Volvo wagons ❤
Wagons are just beautiful!
The 110v plug wire I believe is a block warmer. Used in cold climates to keep the block from freezing and cracking.
Your best videos have been the Mercedes. Did Brett keep the Volvo? Did Robert keep the 1964 190 you initially did? I love wagons! Thank you and keep up the good work!
You guys did an incredible job 👏. Old Mercs were made so well. Imagine how nice it would have looked if it had been cared for.

Love watching your videos on UA-cam God bless
Ваши видео вдохновляют на такие же подвиги как вы сотворили с этим Мерседесом ! Браво ! Отличная работа !
Nice old Benz. Even power windows and heated seats. That was special. I remember these as taxis in Germany

Saving a car in such a bad condition is a ambitious effort. You got my respect its a beautiful car the s123
What a transformation! Perfect video!

Excellently done.congratulations
Take me hat off to these Boys very clever pair off them !
This car makes me think about my youth. My aunt used to have a silver one. Would be nice to see the restoration.
But then, who would be crazy enough to even start with a restoration?
@@PinguinPat Someone like me parts aren't gonna be a problem cause Mercedes takes care of their customers you got a Merc they got your parts doesn't matter how old it is
I hope you do a resto on this. I’ve always loved the W123 series Mercs. Proper Mercs

Great Job Guys !!

Congratulations guys, the car looks good.👍. On the I side looks brand new.
And on the outside very shinny 😎 I like sedans or hatchs back cars.
Dave Davis, former editor of Road & Track and Automobile magazines said the station wagon was the ultimate iteration of the sedan.
