Just got started

Shipped from Coast to coast to begin work on this 1967 (early) 250 SL  #1756.  Buying parts daily and waiting for mechanics to inspect, diagnose, get running and begin the task of erasing 56 years of wear and tear.  Thank you  for adding me to this group it has already proved invaluable.  Bought a grille star and barrel from Karachi Pakistan!

Joel, I see there is a lot of work ahead. Enjoy it and success.

Lots of fun ahead. Nothing time and a lot of money can’t fix!

Always great to see another Pagoda rescued from the scrap heap. So many experts on this site, I think of it as the sum total of all human knowledge on W113’s. Good luck!

Best of luck Joel. Keep us updated with progress and reach out for help.

Get it running and driving (safely) and enjoy it for awhile before you tear it apart and it sits on blocks for years.

Good luck Joel!

How's the runnability now? Is it working well?

There's a lot of us here who can help you along with way along with a lot of vendors we've all come to know and write big checks to.

Keep us posted.

Go Birds!

Teahead’s point is right on. I highly suggest they get it running enough for you to drive a while to get a better list of what you want to fix during your restoration.
