So satisfying to watch! amazing work in such a short amount of time.

a nice car brought back to life hopefully, I suspect quite a bit of work mechanical needs doing, breaks my heart to see a nice car left to decay with zero maintenance for decades.

there will undoubtedly be a fair amount of mechanical work needed, but, judging from the condition of the underside, bodywork and engine bay, I suspect only wear and tear items will need addressing.

I also suspect that the interior will require a lot more than the mechanics.

Great video. Would have loved it to have been longer, to really appreciate the task.

Those guys did a great job, i love seeing old cars getting cleaned up / restored to their former glory something really satisfying about it

So this guy has left his 280 SL in his garage since 1982. It is impressive and satisfying to see what improvement can be made with not that much effort or expertise. It appeals to my OCD nature and knowing it will now go on to receive a full restoration makes for a great 18-minute watch for Feelgood Friday.

Finally got round to watching this, and a great watch it was!

Nice to see such a thing of beauty being bought back from the dead

And the look on the old boy's face when he was reunited with it
