What $6300AUD gets you from Mercedes
« on: January 04, 2021, 03:33:45 »
Hi All,

I wasn’t sure where to post this, given it’s a mix of body and exhaust parts, but I thought I’d share with you what $6300 Australian buys you from the dealer.

I had to get the Engine Pipes and crossover pipe genuine as I could find no supplier who had them, let alone wanting to ship them to Australia. Interesting to note the crossover for the RHD is not offset like the LHD. I was also amazed the Engine Pipes were still available.

I went genuine with the nose, nose reinforcement and headlight buckets for two reasons, to ensure the front was the right shape (mine has been poorly repaired) and I would have lost any saving I made buying from overseas on the shipping.

Still in the process of stripping the car down to get ready for paint.

If you have any questions, or want more pics, feel free to ask.

Thanks Doug

I have re-sent the order for 113044 LHD front pipe just to keep pressure on Classic Center to finish the development and testing.
