Can I stop this Mercedes from being scrapped?

Well pleased for you, Nice one!

Congrats on the new shop pal.
Look forward to some cool projects 👍

Can’t believe the cost of them parts unbelievable, should be a good one can’t wait to see what you decide to do, good luck with the workshop it’s perfect 👏😎

Wish you all the success

Great daily! Grats on the new workshop!

Well done! Continue to film when things go wrong. That’s what make your videos interesting and realistic.

I think the Merc is a slow burn (I'm guessing you will dip in and out working on it, while waiting for parts, fixing the rust issues, body work). Keep it and upload vids as and when you have done work. Then, to keep content flowing on the channel, get other "interesting" car(s) which are a quicker turn around for the channel.

That is an absolutely badass looking car.

Good to see you have help from a cat !

Sure it ain't a ringer

Been watching your video on getting the Benz running 👍👍. What do you do with the cars you finished 🤔🙏👍👍

Sell kit and wheels spend the cash on making it a standard sl l but mint

Superb detective work. I miss my old W124s so much and those little black relay boxes brought it all back

Oi from Brasil, i love watching your videos keep up with the good work!! 🫡🇧🇷🇧🇷

fix it

“Where that even mount in here, like this , right here, right here?” Absolutely killed me. Great watch, new subscriber !

Well done mate just proof that if you have determination and drive you can achieve your goals

Sell it on for the wheels and kit and the motor and trans get your money back the rust will suck any value left in it invest it in you family

i must say, paying 2500 for car that was going to scrap is really a lot.

Great channel! Good job 🇪🇪🇪🇪

If it looks like a dog barks like a dog smells like a dog its probably an amg

The joy on your face when you showed us the workshop.. priceless! keep up the good work!

looks like m103 and if im right there is no 3.2 m103 and yeah i was right my dad had 4 mercs of this era 3 with m103 1 with m104

take the kit off it n see just how bad the body is. if it looks like too much of a job, refurb n sell the kit, refurb the wheels an sell those, sell any thing else you can pull out of the old barge. real shame tho coz at first i was thinking, hmmmmm amg v8 swap.
congrats on the new workshop, also new sub here, looking forward to see what comes next.

Congratulations

Please keep this s class 300,it a very good car l used to own three of this.

Sell as it is

Nice that!

This channel should have at least 187000 subs, lots watching, more subscribing. Fun channel

Well done on the new workshop. Sell the parts and get a lift.

Happy for you mate. Hope it all works out for you. I certainly keep watching.

like it unit looks good congrats on going full time

I really enjoy your videos, but this new format of long videos doesn't work that well for me. I prefer to get 3 videos of 20 minutes, than a one hour video.
1h 30m videos? That's a movie!
Anyway, I hope it works for you!

the merc is to far gone make a profit and move on cheers

Congrats, looking forward to greater challenges

Going to install lift?

Free play in those throttle pedals is normal, they shouldn’t be too tight.
Secondly, for optimum idle mixture adjustment, it’s best to warm the car to operating temp first. If you have duty cycle on your multi meter and you can measure the reading of the lambda sensor via the round diagnostic terminal in the engine bay using ports 3 and 2. You can interpret mixture based on its o2 reading. 50% is what you’re looking for and your mixture is good but the car needs to be fully warmed up. Search for duty cycle w126 on the forums, very detailed explanations out there. Good luck

I think this car deserves a full restoration to its former glory but that wouldn't be economically viable (pun intended)

well son ..a bit new to this ..but just seen the video on the range rover.. have to say just so much fun ..iam not going to buy a ticket has i dont need other car but what iam going to do is give £100 to the charity .i hope you make a million and give your family a good life

Only recently found your channel, awesome to see you get your own workshop 👍

Nice job! Just save the car by repairing/ replacing what is needed. I think it will worth, but you decide.
Or you can just sell it for parts in order to save other cars, because I know when dealing with rust is expensive and time consuming.

I think your business model of finding restoring and then raffling off the cars to fans is a great idea. It kind of fits the old "Flipping Bangers" and the "Wheeler Dealers" series but with your singular twist. Now go get a steam cleaner/power washer and parts cleaner.

Congrats

Resto mod with LS swap perhaps?

I watched the full video without fast forwarding. Most enjoyable. Sell the merc and recover your losses. You really don't want your new workshop choked with the old merc. 👍

Greetings from Washington State, of the Former Colonies. Refurbish it back to it's former glory and keep it as your prized daily driver, a trophy as it were, to your success and new shop. Your son would be looking good cruising with you and your wife in Mercedes style.

I just want to say thanks for all the great comments and the well wishes. The channel is getting to the point where I can no longer respond to most of the comments like I used to, but I just want you to know that I read and appreciate them all!
