Hi Kim what colour is the 6.9 . last owner off my 6.9 used Auto Europe in Midland suspension is working very well so you could see them. Autohouse, Classic Centre California, MbSpares Canberra are some you should contact about parts. Geoff

Hi Geoff, Color is Royal Blue. Paint in poor condition and will need a respray. Thanks for the contacts. Will need to talk to them over the coming days to understand what they can repair and what needs to be replaced.

Regards  Kim

Hi Kim Nathan is very particular to quality work . I am using his recommendation for my paint job so the business he uses would be a good place to start. WGB as well both have fantastic 6.9's

ok this is the power I am after http://www.automobile-catalog.com/make/amg/w-116-amg/w-116-amg/1979.html If not more standard Euro is 286hp AMG was 375hp . If I make 315hp at wheels I have matched AMG output. Then I can say my car has earned its AMG front spoiler and AMG Penta wheels.

So really you only need to find an extra 85hp....  Lets hope it's possible with external mods only!  I wonder what the last run would've been like without the airfilter lid???

The 10W-60 should be fine. The 10W is only relevant for cold starts anyway, and means it will flow more readily. Having said that, I'm running Penrite 20W-60 full synth in mine.

It's going to take me a while to catch up on your posts, Motec. Haha.

On the dyno run, was that out to redline? It sounded impressive!
