Build on what is rubbish? The W202? I would completely disagree with that, my old C36 never had rust issues (I sold it at 100k) and was one of the best built cars I have ever owned - felt like it was built from stone, no rattles or quality issues anywhere.regarded as rusty bangers a few years ago...build on these is rubbish though...
Thanks, appreciate it . I'll keep plugging away tidying bits up.It's impressive in "the flesh" as well.
I had the pleasure of meeting it on Sunday, though didn't get to the Cat & Fiddle, and it was one of the nicer ones I've seen for a long time. I do like the W202...
The build quality is fine, it's the metal quality that's dubious. It just takes a bit of effort to stay on top of that's all.regarded as rusty bangers a few years ago...build on these is rubbish though...
It's the 20 turns lock to lock that causes problems on those roadsI followed it to the cat and fiddle and its no slouch
Irrespective of whether they are rot boxes or built like tanks, there is just something about the W202. They're a classy classic and Mr Sausage's example looks the absolute business.Build on what is rubbish? The W202?

I don't disagree, makes me a bit cloudy eyed over mine. Might not be the V8 but that engine was brutal back then and managed a heady 21mpg at best, but I loved it.Irrespective of whether they are rot boxes or built like tanks, there is just something about the W202.

I thought it was blue, but the V5 said it was green - close up in the right light, it had the look of a kind of pearl finish too.Great colour
What a beauty. There's definitely an argument to say the angular C36 kit suits the W202 even more than the C43 one doesI don't disagree, makes me a bit cloudy eyed over mine.

I agree, I think every iteration of W202 is a nice classy looking car. For me they still have the classic Mercedes attributes like the grille, fluted rear lights and elegant style etc.Irrespective of whether they are rot boxes or built like tanks, there is just something about the W202.
