Hi Guys

Sorry for the delay but I am finding difficult to find a moment to put up some photos.

Full body respray is arranged over xmas.
Order for aluminium trim was placed today at Mercedes dealer ( 90 % still available)
Fabric for interior ordered today from Cabrio.de(carpets and velour for seats)
Chrome all around was stripped down and is going to be re chromed .
engine and gearbox will be removed for painting this week
Will keep you up to date and hopefully my wallet will take on this challange.

The difference I have noticed is that stripes width on ribbed velour is smaller than on my existing velour.
They explain to me that now is only one velour available for 116 and 126 so its sort of in between

Martin...I think you're doing yourself an injustice. .why not show how bad it really looks at the moment. :)
 
In order to appreciate all the hard work you will be doing, you need to show how bad the start point is.

How about an interior shot in all its loveliness :)
