Two minor victories today. First the car now has usable rear seats. Second a bit of white grease on mechanism and now the passenger door locks and unlocks smoothly. Amazing considering it would hardly budge before. I did the rest … Continue reading
Rear shock replacement on a Mercedes Benz W115 / W114 /8
Here is a quick couple shots to show the shock replacement on my 1970 Mercedes 220D but should work pretty much the same on any W115 or W114 chassis. This is actually quick an easy DIY job that almost anyone … Continue reading
