Nice car Mike ,,I have one the same , same color too , it is a great car once you do the maintenance.. Fit a new CPS ,,Bosch ,,before it fails and you are stranded. Otherwise ,,totally reliable.
That car couldn't have found a better home. Monkey wrench Mike's wild Mercedes sanctuary. I'm so excited for you. Love the car the color and would actually like to see a couple videos of you fixing the small things maybe a trip to the salvage yard is in order. Food for thought my friend. Stay safe and keep on keeping on.
The broken glove box catch is pretty much standard on facelift CLKs so finding a working used replacement could be fun. I'm wondering if the missing wheel arch liners and, probably, under engine shields are a sign that she's been over a kerb or something, it does look like the front wheel on the driver's side is a bit far back in the arch, though that could be just a matter of perspective from the camera. Otherwise she all looks pretty decent and certainly a lot better cared for than a lot of the cheap Mercs you've picked up over the years, which is a very good sign. I suspect the scratches in the bonnet and boot are in the lacquer, so that's a pretty easy repair by just painting some fresh lacquer into the scratches and polishing it back flat. They look like key scratches, or envy scratches as they're often called in the trade in the UK...
The joke about "look at the escargot" came from the movie "Trading Places" and that was a long time ago. Very funny movie. Nice buy on the Mercedes, I'd be careful making positive statements about it within earshot of it. She might be temperamental and breakdown like the tractor on Green Acres. 😊👍🚓🙈🙊🙉
The only thing that is missing is the trunk lining those holes you see probably are for the "884" option. "884 TRUNK LID ADDITIONAL LOCKING MECHANISM (HZS) " In those holes go 2 additional trunk latches.
Mikey you did very well! Congrats. More videos bro! More. Fix this baby up and take us along! Bye the bye. Don't be afraid to go longer than 15 minutes! Grow the channel BRO!
Keep us up to date... I really would like to see how you fix the CEL lights on the dash.. I have a video of the Mercedes E320 Wagon I bought and I have similar lights!! Need to fix those next!
What a nice score! You should put that on the 11 O'CLOCK news (feature of the day!) Really glad for you, MIKE! How far away was the COPART it was delivered from? Years ago, COPART had a fleet of trucks AND auctioneers. Then everybody got fired, whey went viral and YOU paid for your own tow facility. Even Tom would approve! Sonny
Well alright Mike! That's great business you made! 👌If you spend the same money put in a good and prestine shape, it still be a good and beautiful Business!👌Enjoy the ride! God bless good people🙏🏽 and that is your Karma Mike! 🙏🏽👌😁 Cheers from Portugal 😎
You should scratch off 2 of those issues. The brake light is on the trunk lid and the gas door is probably missing the little rubber bump stops. Those engine hood struts should not have let the hood close on its own so probably need changing. I see those fog lights on ebay all the time so not hard to find. Oem only! Looks like the latch on the glove box needs fixing. Actually this car is in good shape for its age and mileage. I have an 01 e320 sedan but always liked the coupe better. I like the interior color better than black and it is good shape. Looks like a fairly easy project.
7 problems! Reminds me of an old Dane Cook story: He was working at a comedy club and some drunk guy came in to the club and started heckling him. So Dane was telling him to leave and move along old timer. The guy is like half passed out in his table and he turns around and looks at Dane and says 'Listen to me man. Listen to me...I got 7 problems..amd you're 5 of them!'
I know how it is, I did the same thing with speakers. I have three(!!) Dolby Atmos setups in my house. Even in the bedroom. I have 30 speakers installed in my house, and some are still in the box.
Hay Mike, brilliant video, personally I would love to see more content on this car regardless of fixing scratches or fitting a fog light, all your videos are good. Hope you have many happy miles motoring
Wait a cotton wearing moment!!! Mike, when did you get that w126??? Wow, what a steal MWM, I am so jealous!!! Nah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your blessing when, when you can manage! Love the MWM stickers to sir... guau/wow!!!! It was not boring. I liked it. blessings all around to you...
Hi there and good evening I love your videos and just ordered one off you stickers so hope to get it soon and I have payed 6.61 for one is that ok thanks Nigel 🤗🇬🇧👍 and it's coming all the the way to west Sussex England
Good things happen to those who wait and not only that you doubled the value by adding a MWM sticker, clever move that one Mike. Looking forward to more posts. Laters Chuckles Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
This car is practically fixed to begin with :) p.s. I may have a trunk lid liner, passenger step decorative plate in stock. Also possibly the left side dash cover that doesn’t fall out :)
Not boring at all, Mike. I would like to see you finish the small issues, fog light, a buff n polish, and so on. Nice score!
7 issues? That means at least 7 videos on this car. Please keep them coming.
walked right past the third stop light lol,on the trunk
Yup, I'd love to see you carry on with this. What a great purchase!
Yes, do videos of the finishing touches. Great find or so it appears! I am hoping it is as appears.
Very cool about the overall condition of the car. Good things to good people! Looking forward to more videos on it. Congrats on the purchases.
Congratulations on a nice purchase Mike! You were due an easy one.
Let's see your trips through local boneyards looking for parts on that beauty.
Yes please.
This body style is somewhat rare guest on a junk yards. It’s only 30-50pcs wrecked on Copart at any given time.
Slap on a new fender, add some AMG wheels and you're good to go!
Yes do videos about the new car, it's part of the family. Happy for you Mike.
Nice car Mike ,,I have one the same , same color too , it is a great car once you do the maintenance..
Fit a new CPS ,,Bosch ,,before it fails and you are stranded. Otherwise ,,totally reliable.
Mike, this was not boring at all.

That is a beautiful car. It would be a great daily.
You did really well this time, I would like to see you get all the little problems sorted
Damnit Mike I'm trying to work lol 😆
Hahahahahahaha!
@@MonkeyWrenchMike seriously though I love the CLK, wish I could find a deal like that!
Oh man, that's a nice find. Some tlc and meaby make some profit on selling it.
The joke about "look at the escargot" came from the movie "Trading Places" and that was a long time ago. Very funny movie. Nice buy on the Mercedes, I'd be careful making positive statements about it within earshot of it. She might be temperamental and breakdown like the tractor on Green Acres. 😊👍🚓🙈🙊🙉
I'd also keep my lips off of it until the simple green and rubbing alcohol have been applied.
Clk is one of the simplest and most reliable cars of this era
The only thing that is missing is the trunk lining those holes you see probably are for the "884" option.
"884 TRUNK LID ADDITIONAL LOCKING MECHANISM (HZS) "
In those holes go 2 additional trunk latches.

Great score. Looking forward to you finishing the car.
Oooh I love when you rescue more Mercedes, you are a treasure my friend!
I love the deal you got on the clk! Way to go, Mike!
Nice find great work and can’t wait to see the next one. Thanks for sharing this with us take care
That's not bad for the price Mike! Worth it for sure
Well done Michael, you deserve this wee bit of luck. 👍😀
Your neighbors must love your Merc graveyard.
Monkey Wrench Mike's Mercedes Menagerie manages more Mercedes mayhem and members. Most Excellent. My favorite hidden gem of a channel
Always liked the CLKs.
Looks like you have a good one there Mike. Yes do more videos and it was worth the $$$$$$
I personally love all the fix it videos. 💜
Keep us up to date... I really would like to see how you fix the CEL lights on the dash.. I have a video of the Mercedes E320 Wagon I bought and I have similar lights!! Need to fix those next!
I was not bored. You're doing great Mike, love all your videos.

M112 is a great motor, can run to 250-300k miles easily with proper maintenance and a handful of ignition coils
Finally you’re luck has changed Mike! Nice result
Wow! That's a nice one Mike! Things actually work!!
Not to shabby Mike . Nice interior .
You deserve a good one your such a good person .
adjusting the clock,are you not?
What a nice score! You should put that on the 11 O'CLOCK news (feature of the day!) Really glad for you, MIKE! How far away was the COPART it was delivered from?

Great buy Mike! A real win!
Well alright Mike! That's great business you made! 👌If you spend the same money put in a good and prestine shape, it still be a good and beautiful Business!👌Enjoy the ride! God bless good people🙏🏽 and that is your Karma Mike! 🙏🏽👌😁 Cheers from Portugal 😎
The S Car Go was from Trading Places
Awesome win Mike! O and I would like to watch some videos on this car. My niece has one just like this but blue.

Those engine hood struts should not have let the hood close on its own so probably need changing. I see those fog lights on ebay all the time so not hard to find. Oem only!

I have an 01 e320 sedan but always liked the coupe better.
I like the interior color better than black and it is good shape.
Looks like a fairly easy project.
Love it. It will be fun to watch you make it perfect.
7 problems! Reminds me of an old Dane Cook story: He was working at a comedy club and some drunk guy came in to the club and started heckling him. So Dane was telling him to leave and move along old timer. The guy is like half passed out in his table and he turns around and looks at Dane and says 'Listen to me man. Listen to me...I got 7 problems..amd you're 5 of them!'
Ha!!!!
Your CLK turned out way better than mine! Haha congrats! I love it!
Mike, you need a few more Mercedes(es ?!). We used to have a 2000 CLK320 mineral green. Great car.
I know how it is, I did the same thing with speakers. I have three(!!) Dolby Atmos setups in my house. Even in the bedroom. I have 30 speakers installed in my house, and some are still in the box.
The rear centre stop light is in the boot/trunk lid….
Yep! I’m an idiot sometimes….
What a bargain! Had one when they were new and it was a great car..... Enjoy!
I’m sensing a circular theme. Headlights, parking lights, vents, steering wheel buttons etc...etc...
Hay Mike, brilliant video, personally I would love to see more content on this car regardless of fixing scratches or fitting a fog light, all your videos are good. Hope you have many happy miles motoring
That car is way to clean for 192k
Congrats Mike, well deserved!
I'm up for some small issues! Sometimes those are the most helpful.
Wait a cotton wearing moment!!! Mike, when did you get that w126???
Wow, what a steal MWM, I am so jealous!!! Nah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your blessing when, when you can manage!
Love the MWM stickers to sir... guau/wow!!!! It was not boring. I liked it. blessings all around to you...
Thank you!
PDR the wing, buff the rest, and off you go Mikey
