Interiors & Exteriors / Refurb interior/exterior servi...
Last post by Turtle - Today at 10:51 AMHi all,
I recently purchased a 350SE and I'm looking at doing some restoration work before driving it to Le Mans this year.
The previous owner spent a lot on the mechanical aspects in 2022 and the car has been kept in storage for 20+ years. There are only a few imperfections on the paintwork but I have noticed a few scratches on the wheel trims. I live in the south east of England (Bucks) and was wondering if anyone knows the best way to refurb the steel wheel trims or any companies that can provide repainting services? I'd also like to get the leather interior refurbished so any recommend companies for this are also appreciated.

Nice color and great interior (except the wood).
If the car runs fine but just problem starting I would look at new injectors and possibly the trigger points.
Is it just cold starts or also warm?
Your response is pretty impressive.

Mechanicals / 1973 M/B 450se one owner
Last post by Rob Smith - Yesterday at 06:17 PMHi guys,
My 1973 M/B 450se has been sitting for a while. It starts right up but has a dead spot throttle response between 1500 and 2500 rpm. It is a D-Jet, always been dependable, it likes to be run everyday but that's not possible for us. Does anyone have any thoughts to a fix?

Last post by Gpapaniko - 22 March 2023, 06:53 AMFunny that Canada got the Euro bumpers but US headlights. If it was warmed up I'm guessing likely injection issues as well.
