I'm into the mk3, and working on these cars ain't no 5 minute job. I have spent so much time getting these cars to look the business. Bus it's all worth it from reactions out on the road... When finished.

Awesome work, very cool car!

Esse carro é muito bonito mas é muito perigoso

Not a restoration in my eyes just a speed up resto with music and no interaction would have liked seen some more human involvement with your viewers

Lawrie Bond was an interesting character,and had some clever ideas.

Did they have a reverse gear

I know this is an old video but what adhesive is used on the vinyl roof? Thanks

What’s the price and location of your services?

I am 68yrs old now, I had this same model with the long nose bonnet, Daytona yellow, with brown mottled roof covering, bucket seats, Sold way back then to a student who had only just passed his test, and he wrapped round a lamppost, oh how I wish....

WWWWOOOWWW!!!

All that resto work and you guys put the steering wheel on the wrong side?!!! ;)

.....................Kudos to you for maintaining this vehicle I have two cars benz w 115 and 123 Both vehicles do not run very badly The w 115 car was the official car used by the world’s first prime minister My dream is to get those 2 cars running It is not easy The politicians of sri lanka have stolen the national economy and the whole country is in debt to the world The country is now being run by IMF and world aid Everything is taxed Just breathing is not taxed I have seen benz cars abandoned in some countries which are in the best condition Both my cars have about 60% damage to the bumper Recovery is difficult If you have the body of the w 115 or 123 cars in you possession, I would be grateful if you could provide me with the body of those cars. Also, if there is any possibility to help me in making these two cars, I would be grateful Sorry if there was a mistake…… I am also a person who loves benz cars…………………

This used to belong to my late grandfather William Dolling as signwritten on the side of the van. My grandfather did the complete original restoration on the van and I have lots of photos of his restoration years ago. I would really love to have the current owner get in touch and maybe I could pass all this on to them. I have to admit that I would love to see it again at some time. It holds very dear memories to me, my grandfather and I were extremely close, unfortunately we lost him in 2019.

As good as my mk1 capri mine was inker gold metallic 1600 cc xL gt gear box

Isn't that the weird car that has an engine that is connected to the 1 front wheel

I smell a trabant!!!!

Real cars !! Valves need a little adjustment? Or just me?

What a boring video. No explanation as to how the work was done. Just irritating music and had to stop it. At least go into detail as to how you made parts. Or even bought them. At least Make the video interesting to watch.

The real reason why people bought these cars back in the day was because you could drive them on a motorcycle licence, my dad had one, god bless him, as a child I was super embarrassed to be seen in it, but would love to own one now for the nostalgia value. My dad di eventually pass his driving test in the late 70s……in wait for it a fork lift truck which then allowed him to drive any car …..so scary

Would look fantastic in racing green🙏🙏🙏🙏

That young chap is a restorative genius hope he gets well paid!

VERY BAD RESTORING !!!!!!

The video was amazing and I could take picture that help me in the restoration of my R107... I cant say thank you enough ¡

I had The same car color and all, Just mine was a 71 left hand drive, I end up trading for a 68 charger 440, But missed it since, That car I could pull the wheels in second gear, Everyone loved that car. Hope its good to you as mine was.

You just gotta love lucas wiring!

I really like the interior and those seats. So nice

Fantastic

My first 4 wheeler was a Standard 10 van. Great little vehicle to drive. Mine had been a works van at the factory.

Fancy getting one of those nearly around the clock! Must have had a few engine rebuilds. Still, I'd buy it. There is something magnetic about them.

What a little treasure!

Standard companion

Except for the rims and the steering being on the wrong side, that Capri looks exactly like the one my father used to bring me and my mom back from the hospital. Maybe that's why I have such a soft-spot for this car. Still some of the sexiest lines on any car, ever.

My 500SL had similar body work issues, all replaced with new metal inc bulkhead. For those wondering a resto like this would be around £30k. Good job on this one. I would have gone the whole way with the facelift 86-89 look and kept the other wheels.

Lovely job lads! Another survivor! 👏🏻👏🏻

I wonder if there are any LS wheels out there? I have an LS model the same colour and it too has the incorrect wheels, not that I mind!

Either the video is reversed or the steering wheel is on the wrong side

I had one and loved it- wish I still had it. These videos do not need music- we want to hear the car.

Great video. Thanks so much. Is the car still considered a genuine classic car if it is completely rebuilt like this? Is it literally possible to make a 350sl that's as attractive and works as well as as a brand new one? Thanks!

Seen one like this in a open barn last week, but it's real rusty.

I’m interested in getting someone to restore a ‘86 sl 560, that in a similarly bad condition. Would you be able to estimate what costs should I expect? Asuming the engine runs once the electrical part, which had a meltdown at some point. It’s also a hard too. An estimated cost based on what the one you presented would me very much appreciated!

Hi, great video. Love the time and effort. Could you tell me what sound insulation you used when you were putting it in on the floor? Just curious what would meet your approval since I need to replace some of mine. Thank you!

Amazing Job May I know how much the cost for restoration R107 1982 approximately Thanks Regards, Khalid

Hello - can you tell me: 1. Do you have the facility to 'dip' cars onsite and if not can you tell me who you used? 2. Did you do all the metal fabrication and welding yourselves? 3. Do you prep and paint cars your selves? It is quite a hard to find any shop prepared to take on that level of restoration - it is an eyewateringly expensive and time consuming job to undertake. Mike
