Re: [MBZ] 109 project

Insurance companies' intended customers are salvage yards / used parts dealers. Seems the reasonable thing to do with most of the burn cars would be to have them hauled to a scrap metal dealer instead of the salvage auction. I can't imagine selling a single part off a car that literally burned

Re: [MBZ] 109

M189 (W109 1965-67) and the M198 (gullwing) share several parts and designs. I can confirm, at least, the water pump is the same part, for example. I never bothered to compare much else in the EPC. but if you examine both closely you can see many shared deigns. Jaime On Wed, May 27, 2015 at

Re: [MBZ] 109

It's on jackstands - probably to hide the collapsed air bags in the suspension. IIRC that's around $1000 per corner to fix. But that would be a stunner when repaired and painted! I'm thinking Astral Silver would do it justice. Wonder what condition the engine is in. That could be a real

Re: [MBZ] 109

Air bags can be had for about $300 each per corner. Valves are more. But you don't necessarily need them to be rebuilt to have a driveable car. I'm rebuilding my second air suspension car right now, a W112 coupe. They're really not so bad, it's a simple system. But parts are expensive, they

Re: [MBZ] 109

Do realize that there are a lot of people out there who don't understand the air suspension and as a result kludge it up badly. My former W112 wouldn't stay up until I went through and adjusted all the valves per the factory procedure. After doing so, it would stay up for three weeks at a time

By 1969 the M189 was gone. This would be a M130 according to the info I found, so it is no longer a 4 door 300SL. Still a nice car, and it looks worth saving. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To

No, I meant what I said. The original 109 had the M189, which is a modified 300SL engine first used in the Adenour outside the 300SL, so the original 109 300SEL was a 4 door version of the 300SL. With the M130, it had no ties to the 300Sl, except maybe the differential. 300SLs did exist in

There is no relationship between a W109 and the Gullwing other than they used a mechanical injection pump for fuel delivery, I don't think even the pump is the same. The Gullwing engine wasn't used all that much, it was very expensive to manufacture, and difficult to maintain (the
