Mercedes-less at the moment
Hi everyone, I long time ago I used to have a really tidy w202 (profile picture) and after few dalliances with BMWs (still have a nice 7 Series e65) I wanted a 3 pointed star again so I bought a really clean, with very nearly 0 rust w201.

Planning to keep it as bit of modern classic and make it as close to how it came out of factory as possible. It has already been looked after for nearly 25 years by single owner it has no scratches rips or tears. Its not without its issues though:

1. A knocking noise from the rear axle / diff - (maybe a dodgy diff even though no whine)
2. A leaking rocker cover - gasket on order from Mercedes)
3. An overflow tank that spits out now and again from the overflow hose but no overpressure or overheating - (dodgy cap maybe)

Looks like a very nice example.

And welcome back!
 
Epic rear wing on the mr2, sorry i meant f355 haha.
 
I recall that once there was a EPC like website with part numbers and such mb..somthing.ru that had a similar functionality as realm.com does for BMW. What do people use these days?
