CyberNinja Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 I have recently acquired this. It is quite worn and requires a head gasket, although it has promise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geek2232 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Congratulations. Is restoration worthwhile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennycarlotta Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 hat did the previous owner do to the driver's seat? Was he/she colossal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberNinja Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 Comparable to the restoration value of any other vehicle, provided that one does the labour independently and gradually, the expenses become manageable. Once you assign a value to your time, often no vehicle is worth repairing. The body is intact, with no corrosion on the floor, including the brake lines, exhaust, or suspension components. The driver's seat is somewhat worn, while the remainder of the inside, save the wood, only need cleaning. I believe the individual from whom I purchased it was a firefighter, as indicated by the stickers on the vehicle. He is a commendable individual and a forthright communicator. His physique resembled that of a bodybuilder or American football player, which may explain the damage to the front seats around the shoulders. Leather is not resilient to perspiration, which may occur while leaving a gym while wearing a tank top and possessing broad shoulders. It is not an issue; I will get a suitable passenger seat cover on my next trip to London or purchase a new one. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WordSmith Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 It will seem appropriate after you have resolved the matter. Is it Signal Red under the fading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberNinja Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 I believe it is imperial red, a hue more characteristic of the 1990s, often seen on R129 and A124 models. At times, it seems to be a shade of red that is less intense than signal red. At times, it seems more maroon. This is an amazing R129 in the same hue.

PixelMaster Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 When searching for my 124 cab (19 years ago), I almost dismissed the imperial red model due to my aversion to red; nonetheless, the imperial hue ultimately captivated me. It has some really faint tones. I ultimately purchased a beryl blue vehicle, which now has 64,000 miles on it. I eagerly forward monitoring your project. What is the mileage of your vehicle that necessitated the head gasket replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
