😮 do you know the critical items of this car? I don't think so....

[@kingearl2596]

I know this cars very well - it is insane much work, they are all rotten. Really nice and good work, thank you !!

[@hartonorobby4990]

very very nice restoration job,

[@anonymousonlineuser6543]

Phenomenal work.

[@peterbrown216]

Looks great but a bondo patched rust bucket underneath.

[@volkerleiste6191]

😮 exactly

[@KRISHNAWARRIOR]

this is my favorite Colour for vintage cars ...

[@darrylkennedy2125]

When I lived in south west London in the 70's & 80's there was one of these slowly rotting away outside a house not far from me. Elderly widow wouldn't sell it as it was bought new by her deceased husband. Same colours as this one. In the 8-5yrs I lived there it just disintegrated away. Was in a carport but mice had made a home in the soft top and it used to get the weather all the time..shame. .

[@marcryvon]

Absolute shame.

[@danflores2346]

Low budget? I guess it depends on what low budget is. Beautiful car & shows well. I wish it were mine.

[@valneicosta412]

Esses tipos de restauração eu sou apaixonada. 🤗👍👍👌👌👏👏👏

[@randymclean1114]

The next owner is in for quite a shock.

[@1967250s]

Nice fix up for that price. Wonder if they made any money on it? Lot of work is not shown, and it adds up quickly.

[@boblacks945]

What did they do to the chrome? My understanding is that it is very expensive to restore chrome. Like tens of thousands of dollars for all the pieces on these old Mercedes.

08:00 Brand New 1958 Mercedes-Benz 190SL!

[@meca13b]

Excellent work !!! Where do you get all your parts from for these 190’s ? Are you on Instagram Liked and subbed

[@kevinpantera4429]

Runs drives stops. Goes down the road?

[@허현-l9e]

good

[@mariusconrad1447]

Bravo !

[@osamaelhawat2766]

👍✨Great work hand

[@pablocespedes9585]

Beautiful Mercedes Benz but I am afraid is a bondo-basket!

[@marcryvon]

Let's just hope the owner will not try to sell it as first grade restored car. Lawsuit in the near future...

[@p38ligtning]

Marc René Yvon On what basis can owner be sued if he does sell the car for high price? Buying a car is always a risk, and I've never heard of a law that protects buyer from things like cheap restoration.

[@garytowne1548]

I have the exact car (1963) waiting for this - solid car no rust owned since 1978. Fix or sell?

[@gp7066]

Fix!

[@simonesthappan9709]

Still have it?

[@kevinpantera4429]

Fix keep and drive it.

[@retrogarageofolega2627]

👍

[@dposer10]

how hard was it to get all the bondo out?

[@mchristr]

People did substandard restorations on the 190SL because, until recently, they weren't worth anything. Thirty years ago you couldn't give these things away.

[@Oregon696969]

Not true. I look at one 30 years ago, and they were expensive.

[@tekoppentekoppen761]

Im never gonna buy an old car. Unless I find it in the woods.

[@rajvandari]

I have 190SL sitting on the garage, how much it cost to restore?

[@simonesthappan9709]

You still have the sl190?

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

A little bit like a rolling restoration in my opinion. Reasonably affordable. It's O.K. as long it will not be offered as a fully restored car.

[@kramer26]

I think its known as a "cosmetic makeover"

[@mp330600]

Bondo over rust, that is low low budget.

[@НошпаТаблетка]

Mani?

[@victorfranco5703]

Give it 6 Months that Bondo is gonna crack and bleed right thru paint!!

[@hbosch5223]

That would have cost 15k in 1975.

[@tonyellery6918]

Low budget?.?

[@turhanus1213]

Rusty body painted without cleaning

[@volkerleiste6191]

OMG 😨 Vorsicht! Das sieht sehr nach einer Blenderrestsurierung aus. Es ist immer ein absoluter Warnhinweis wenn man sich die Schweller ansieht und die beiden senkrechten "Sicken" im Schweller nicht zu sehen sind. Das ist irgendwie nur zugespachtelt worden... Auch ist nicht zu erkennen was wirklich mit dem Motor, speziell mit der Vergaseranlage gemacht wurde. Ich würde das Auto nicht kaufen!!

[@neuzdost1939]

15 000 Euros is a low budget? Damn boy, I can buy my car 10 times for that money. Also I can make a proper rally car from my one for that budget.

[@OsvaldoHCasal]

You don't know nothing about classics, imposible to do your analysis...

[@Jack_The_Ripper_Here]

low budget restoration ? no such thing, it's restoration or not
