Angelo,
   Welcome to the group.  You've come to the right place.  If the links from Dalton and Merrill aren't quite enough, just ask.  One of us can shoot something for you.  I'll have my car on a lift tomorrow and I'll try to shoot some extra shots just in case.

if you took pictures I would appreciate if you could post them for me to print.  Also if you could some pictures of the engine bay it would be awesome so that i could have a map of parts layout and locations Thanks everyone

Angelo,

You are probably MUCH more experineced at car restoration & repair than I am, but I can't imagine trying to "restore" a car without any manuals or technical literature.  I recommend buying several books shown here:
http://www.sl113.org/publications.asp

You should have:
- Mercedes Benz Shop Manual (BBB = Big Blue Book)
- Mercedes Benz Spare Parts List
- Haynes Manual

These are the basic books and will help you complete 99% of the work ahead of you.
