Shipped from Coast to coast to begin work on this 1967 (early) 250 SL  #1756.  Buying parts daily and waiting for mechanics to inspect, diagnose, get running and begin the task of erasing 56 years of wear and tear.  Thank you  for adding me to this group it has already proved invaluable.  Bought a grille star and barrel from Karachi Pakistan!

Lots of fun ahead. Nothing time and a lot of money can’t fix!

Always great to see another Pagoda rescued from the scrap heap. So many experts on this site, I think of it as the sum total of all human knowledge on W113’s. Good luck!

Get it running and driving (safely) and enjoy it for awhile before you tear it apart and it sits on blocks for years.

Teahead’s point is right on. I highly suggest they get it running enough for you to drive a while to get a better list of what you want to fix during your restoration.
