Really nice work. Drives me crazy how people will leave a lovely 211 Wagon to rot though. Glad it was rescued and I hope it gets a good home.

Why leave a car to rot? Just sell it for scrap or spares or repairs people do it all the time in the UK

[@tomtheraton3058]

I see that in uk they are letting rot cars just in front of their house (like the lotus carlton)

[@user-ei5gj2bn8n]

Sometimes its not just a car, it remembers people of good happy days, and also money they can earn for this car in this condition, aren't money for them at all. A man who bought it new for 70.000 $ wouldn't be happy earning 500$ for it now, he thinks "id better leave it in my barn", and that's how these stories are born.

one thing I know, never try to even turn on an engine on when a car is abandoned for a long time. untill you change the oil and check few stuff, it isn't okay to do so.

[@deyoviC]

Please, one very important detail is to unclog the water drain plugs from the sun roof as well as on the rear (there's a rubber hose running behind the back passenger wheel) and the front hood. They will 100% be clogged and you don't want water sitting inside them after such good restoration. Edit: Forgot to mention why I say this: whenever u see that much mold in a car then clogged drain plugs are 99% the main cause.

It hurts your soul how some asses let such a beautiful car rot, hopefully the thing will end up in good hands, it will soon be a sought-after classic, especially when you see what rubbish Mercedes is building today, otherwise respectable work guys. Greetings from Germany from a two-time 211 owner.

[@herbertsax7169]

This was my last company leasing car for 4 Years which I bought finally after I went into retirement. I drove it until 300000 km and then I sold it. The car is very spacy and also reliable in deed. After I bought an EV from Hyundai to reduce overall running cost. Diesel is very expensive in Germany. About 1,7 US$ per liter. Silver was also my favorit colour.

It’s not too hard to wrench on and just needs preventative maintenance and wear and tear parts are easily available and even gets lifetime warranty’s from .coms euro parts. W211s are the best looking cars man. The brake systems are faulty but they gave it a 25year warranty to get it fixed. Good luck fellas get it on the road asap!

That was a lot of hard work . All very well done . Great to see . That shade of silver on a Merc really is beautiful . . As an aside , what really saddens me these days is the quality of replacement car mats sold by "Main Dealers" . The originals are always thick , plush quality items . The replacements that come from "Main Dealers" look like they've been bough from the local £ / $ shop or market stall , thin / lifeless, but bearing the official manufacturer logo. 😞. What a con ! I wonder if Head Office know / support this scam ? ? Or is it just the "locals" ripping off customers the way we all know they do .

I hate this type w211 because of the brakes Electrical problems You did a good job on this vehicle

[@maxpower3754]

You're right, but that pointless SBC was removed during the facelift and then everything was fine again.

[@castila]

In the U.S., Mercedes-Benz extended the warranty to 25 years (unlimited mileage) for the SBC braking system, so it's no problem for E-Class, S-Class, CLS-Class, SL-Class, Maybach, and SLR McLaren customers here. There were a number of NHTSA Recall Service Campaigns and DTBs/TSBs that addressed some of the issues early on (e.g., installing the newer double pulsation damper hose, replacing the older SBC pump unit with a later revision, etc.), so most of the cars still on the road in the U.S. with the SBC braking system (assuming that the owners were smart enough to read the letters sent to them in the mail from Mercedes-Benz USA...), including mine, perform very well (my 160,000 mile car's SBC system, which functions properly, has better braking performance than the brakes on my much newer, lower-mileage, perfectly-maintained Mercedes-Benz I own...). When the actuation limit is reached and/or the expensive SBC ABS pump needs to be replaced, the dealership takes care of this replacement (parts and labor) for free for 25 years with unlimited mileage in the United States, as I had stated earlier.

[@haithemNF]

@@castila Yes, you are right, 🇩🇿But we are in Algeria, you only have to change the SBC brake system once for free. Then, if something happens to it or it breaks down, you fix it yourself, which is a rather expensive system. In any case, it is a reliable and sturdy car on the road. I have a car. E class 2003 diesel cdi e220. Thank you sir for the information you provided

[@castila]

@@haithemNF Yes, it is *very* expensive to replace/repair if you have to pay for it yourself. Sorry to hear that Mercedes-Benz did not extend the same warranty in Algeria.
