If you go to the website and click on any of the cars you will see the complete video restoration series showing how to do all of the work. WoodsAndBarclay.com

I do not know the part number but they definitely came on the cars when they left Mercedes originally. Replacement pins come in the Schaefer wheel bearing kit.

Yes I completely understand cars like this are are not cheap. I wish I could keep a few of them but that's not my business if you know what I mean.

What is the "shoulder"?

I'm sorry this was a long time ago. No way I can remember what they were I've done so many cars since then.

I did not do any conversations. This is the factory setup ;). Thanks for the info about the guard that came on the 88 plus model. I was not aware of this.

Thank you I'm so glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel and thank you for the positive comment.

I can't give you an exact price but it will cost you thousands and thousands of dollars to do everything correctly.

No these are for customer cars. Just look on craigslist

Yes! Actually the guy that purchased from me is now trying to sell it at gateway because his wife hated the car and cannot get in and out of it comfortably. So you can purchase it from gateway! It's one of the nicest 380SL's on the market we did everything correctly on it! Such a shame his wife doesn't like the car!

Thank you I'm glad you're enjoying the videos.

@@woodsandbarclay I'm glad you're making an effort for us. I hope you continue to shine. Thank you,👍👍

Lemforder is excellent quality and I'm never had a single issue with them the fit and fitment is great. So glad you're enjoying the videos. Also keep in mind Lemforder was the OEM supplier for Mercedes. Mercedes did not make parts ;)

I used Lemforder or MB but lemforder are no longer available directly from the manufacturer so I order them from the classic center directly. Please keep in mind that Lemforder is who manufactured the engine mounts for Mercedes. So if you buy a genuine Mercedes engine mount you're buying a Lemforder engine mount.

I understand what this viewer means. I also replaced both engine mounts (lemforder), engine shock and it's smaller parts, and even engine stopper. And honestly, the shake at idle and start/stop isn't crazy better. Just slightly.

That shake is not because of your engine mounts and shocks it's because you probably need to replace your rack damper bolt. That is what limits the shake from the rack in the injection pump at idle. Crucial thing that everybody misses. If you're not familiar with it just look up some videos on UA-cam. Pretty easy to make an adjustment or replace the bolt. Highly recommended.

​​@@woodsandbarclayvery interesting... Will look up immediately. I usually just keep my "idle gauge" on the dashboard at max just to idle a bit higher to have it shake less. Am I understanding it correctly that this adjustment is different from an idle speed adjustment and is more about the pump and the engine being better synced at low rpm?

Just go on Google and type in w123 or 300D rack damper bolt. Learn about it. Has nothing to do with your idle speed.

That's great I'm so glad the videos were helpful. If you're able to contribute please join my patreon page. There are some unreleased videos from Members only and I think you will enjoy them. Link to join is in the description of this video.

No one said this was a 100k car. If you would like to know what this car sold for please don't hesitate to contact me directly. I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos. 😎

There are actually six videos already released on this vehicle and you can see them all on my UA-cam channel. If you're having a hard time finding the videos you can simply go to the website and click on the car and they are all there.

People always think their car is "fully sorted" and "everything works". They never are.

Wow that was a lot of information in that comment. Sounds like you're having fun though! You definitely don't want to put these old parts from the callowagon on your car. They're on their last leg that's why I removed them!

You can use 75w90, 80w90, 85w90 etc. Any of those will be fine.

No this car sold last year.

I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos ;) having a lift is definitely a game changer however all of this is possible on jack stands if you don't mind crawling around on the oily ground on your back. I probably did that for 10 years before getting a lift. Now there's no going back.

Absolutely the 116 is a better built car with better materials and better chassis.

This one ended up in New Jersey

@@woodsandbarclay Cool! You have shipped a few Overseas also, right?

Yes I have cars in Europe, Central America, and even Dubai!!!

@@woodsandbarclay Astonishing ... All the way to Dubai? Which car was shipped to Dubai?

It was the Orient Red Wagon not the last one I did but the one before that it had about 85,000 mi on it. By the way I set up a new patreon page that allows you to become a member and get early access to all my videos. If you're able to please join as it definitely helps me out because making these videos is very time consuming. If you look in the description of this video you should see a link to my patreon page.

Yes you can totally handle it yourself don't be afraid just dive in! I'm so glad the videos are helpful I just started a patreon page and the link should be in the description if you're able to contribute 🙂

@@woodsandbarclay you got it!

By the way I started a patreon page if you're able to contribute there's a link in the video description.

Yeah it's definitely a lot of work but when these things are taken care of they just run forever. The hydraulic pump is actually on the front of the motor and very rarely needs rebuilt until much higher mileage. It's all the stuff on the rear of the car that causes problems with the SLS system.

Thank you I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos. I've started putting a patreon link and the video descriptions if you feel like contributing a little. It's a lot of effort making these videos but I'm going to keep doing it!

Definitely get that starter replaced get her back on the road! Thank you for the kind words I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos. If you're able to please contribute to my patreon page there is a link in the description of this video.

The car is now in Seattle Washington. The owner purchased it and drove it home across the country!

@@woodsandbarclay Wow. Must have been one Enjoyable ride!

Yeah I can only imagine!

@@woodsandbarclay Google Maps says thats around a 39-40 hour drive!!! hehe

Yep. Pretty awesome says a lot about these cars.

Yeah this design was unique to the wagon. Much more durable and reliable than the newer design that was installed in the coupes and sedans. The coupes and the sedans had a plastic antenna housing with a circuit board that often fails.

Great car!

Thank you I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos!

That's midnight blue paint code 904. The most popular classic Mercedes paint color. Everybody wants a midnight blue car!

Yes absolutely. I still have the seat bottom but it will be used in a future project.

Please email me directly as I do not discuss business or pricing and UA-cam comments. Each car is priced differently depending how many parts and labor cost during the restoration. Mileage color and year also play a big factor. john@woodsandbarclay.com

Please email me directly and I can give you a part number I would have to look it up. john@woodsandbarclay.com

@@woodsandbarclay thank you!

By the way I just started a patreon page and if you're able to contribute you will get access to some unreleased videos that are definitely worth watching. There's a link to the patreon page in the description of this video.

I'm pretty sure the rubber covers that go over the hydraulic struts are no longer available. However this is not a unique part you can buy rubber covers for generic hydraulic shocks and attach them with clamps.

Samo Hrvati ostaju zahvalni Mercedesu I urade kameni spomenik. Ti nitko drugi nema.

That's a pretty cool story!

Yes completely refurbishing one of these cars is very expensive. Well I guess expensive is relative but refurbishing all the parts on one of these vehicles can easily be $30,000

Thank you for the kind words I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos.

Slowly but surely she's coming along!!!

I would have to look it up I don't know it from memory. Best to just shoot me an email and then I can get back to you via email with the part numbers.

I would just get some more R12 and change out the compressor. R12 is readily available on Craigslist depending on what part of the country you're in. If you're changing out to compressor it's always a good idea to go ahead and change the receiver dryer just like I did in this video.

@@woodsandbarclay Thanks, appreciate it! I'm in PNW. I see R12 on CL occasionally, but usually in a large tank. I'll keep me eye out for a smaller quantity.

Yeah these original r12 systems are about four to six degrees cooler than the r134 systems. Don't get me wrong the r134 still works great and I have that in my daily driver classic Mercedes but the original r12 just takes it slightly colder.

@@woodsandbarclay Thanks for the explanation.

To discuss price and you can contact us directly all of our contact information is on the website and at the beginning of every video. I'm sure you can understand that we do not discuss business in UA-cam comments. Thank you and I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos.

Like I say at the beginning of every single video they are all for sale and are listed on the website.. this wagon is mid restoration and should be finished in about 3 to 4 weeks. Please contact us directly from the website. Thank you for your interest.

All you have to do is go to Google and type in 300D radiator and it should come up I don't know the part number off hand.

I actually have a 20% wholesale discount but I think I pay $125 each.

@@woodsandbarclay despite costing 3 times the price of the lemforder ones. I would always buy them Mercedes stamped ones. Never compromised on the rubber parts as what I’ve noticed is the other suspension parts such as the ball joints and tie rod ends are fine from the oem vendors, but when it comes to rubber parts they either not feel that good as the Mercedes stamped ones or they don’t last as long as they should. Idk putting on those Mercedes genuine parts gives me the reassurance that I did the right thing and all of the problems in my life are solved. Lol maybe I’m losing it. What’s your experience been?

​​Lemforder is who makes them for Mercedes. Keep in mind Mercedes does not make parts. However you cannot buy them directly from Lemforder anymore and Mercedes has a bunch of New Old stock at the classic center. I literally called them and asked them who makes their parts and they told me lemforder. So always remember when you buy parts from Mercedes you're just buying a brand Mercedes does not make parts. Mercedes does not have a special manufacturing plant that makes parts for them. They are all made by third-party suppliers. There are certain things however that you cannot buy directly from the third-party suppliers so you're forced to go to Mercedes, even though the parts are made by the third-party suppliers. ​@@ZainFKiani

@@woodsandbarclay well yeah that would be true for the states. But over here in Pakistan the lemforder ones that are made in turkey are still available and are absolutely trash. You’d be lucky to get a year out of them. We normally prefer the NOS Mercedes parts in the old all blue packaging Mercedes had back in the day. During the 80’s amidst the soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Apart from the other equipment and support the Pakistani military received from NATO they also had a slough of w123’s and w460 g wagons. The w123’s had a very utilitarian spec. Most if not all were 4spd manual 240Ds with mb tex interior, crank windows, power steering, manual air conditioning, oil filed air filters and a unique and one of a kind raised and beefy suspension package with harder springs and shocks with increased ground clearance. Most of these w123’s had the light weight alloy wheels with the hubcaps. Not to be confused with the bundts. Even though the w123 fleet was phased out more than two decades ago but still to this day more and more of these rare NOS parts pop up from these military surplus auctions. In 2020 a mate of mine scored big on a NOS Dashboard and NOS unpainted hubcaps all packed in the Mercedes stamped boxes for 300 bucks..AN ABSOLUTE SCORE!!

Well you're referring to the parts made back in the 80s no matter what you cannot get parts that are the same quality as parts made back in the 80s even from Mercedes. Just made information about Pakistan!

They make very good stuff
