I'm curious about the coolant decals.  The  reminents look original. Can you post pictures of both sides? More detailed engine photos in general would be also appreciated👍

Hi mrfatboy
Follow some more pictures.
Actually the decals aren’t originals but bought on E bay. I sticked them at the place I thought right but it’s only from my point of wiew and nothing official.
I will post some more specially the coolant canister when it’s reassembled.
Cheers

I just did a major sympathetic restoration under the hood of my 1966 230SL Barn Find. It was very detailed and time consuming but the end result is fantastic.
Here are a few pictures.

Looks fantastic!

It is a bigger job than it looks - I experienced that doing my W463.

It's a tremendous amount of work and hours. You control the outcome based on your input.
