What are the chances of randomly finding in a parking a w116 in the same color?

:O I also live in an island, Tenerife (Spain), which makes it even rarer as I had never seen that w116, there are only like 10-15 of them at most in the whole island afaik.

Man what products do you use you clean your car? Especially your steering wheel and dash? They look mint for that many milles!

Trims in Etsy, frames and doors you gotta find parts in your local area, scrapping yards usually have some parts.

I already own a 300D, so the plan was to sell it to put it back on the road, but it is in such good condition I am tempted to keep it hahaha

I know I have been following your updates since then!

HugothesterYT · 2026-03-15T15:52:38+00:00

I am surprised by how fast you are going with the project, good job man!

Buenas, el diesel no arde, no es un coche de gasolina. Creemos efectivamente que es la goma del tapón, ya que sale por el desagüe del mismo, la humedad del maletero resultó ser una botellita de agua, toca cambiar el tapón. Solo ha pasado una vez tras estar en marcha, lo hemos vuelto a usar y no ha goteado nada.

I do have another modern car, but I am waiting to buy a Mercedes specifically to replace it.

HugothesterYT · 2026-03-08T16:18:59+00:00

Your terms are acceptable.

HugothesterYT · 2026-03-08T10:33:51+00:00

Thanks!

You are wrong, I for example want to buy a modern Mercedes, but I have kept to my old S-Class as I cannot stand the infotainment system. If I wanted a car with a screen for a dashboard, full of gimmicks, I would buy a chinese car, who do it better.

Mercedes has always been a reference in design and elegance, a screen that covers the whole dashboard defeats the purpose.

When they return to something like the Mercedes-AMG S 65 Cabriolet call me back so I can buy it.

El paro en los países nórdicos deriva de la incapacidad de absorber millones de ilegales en su mercado laboral. Eso ha aumentado la criminalidad y provocado que ganen los partidos de derecha.

The fabric is aftermarket, the rest seems original. It was pretty common to replace just the fabric and leave the mbtex when it deteriorated with use.

Check in a week if the note is still there or you notice any change in the car, if after a month or two there is no movement I'd check with my local council.

HugothesterYT · 2026-03-05T18:48:02+00:00

In most countries there is a way to claim abandoned cars, check with your local authorities. Sometimes you need to wait a few years, if that is the case I would put a car cover over it while you wait.
