W108 parts car in Auckland

[NZJasonT]

Hi all - I’ve just bought a complete W108 that’s lapsed rego - will have the car in Auckland in a week or so - if anyone on here needs parts please let me know and PM me - I need a few small things but not too much so will be close to complete. Thanks

What colour is the interior?

Classic Mercedes 70’s Brown - looks like it needs a clean

That looks like palomino:

In which case I would be interested in the driver side interior trim part that goes on top of the door card (i.e. the part that the black door button goes through - the part where the driver would rest his arm), if it is not cracked.

Happy to pay for it and postage to Australia.

Ok sure let me see what condition It’s in when I get hold of it and I’ll let you know - thanks

Is it rusty or worm out? Interior doesn't look too bad and W108's bring great money in OZ at the moment.

That’s good to know - i’ve Bought it sight unseen and it won’t be here until next week. I imagine it has the usual rust issues but I’ll update this once I have the car- I’m told its a non runner so could be ok and off the road due to that more that rust? Guess I’ll find out next week

Got the car here in Auckland now and started stripping it down, the car is actually very straight and has hardly any rust even the sills are solid and the tyre well in the boot - am advertising locally but if anyone on the forum needs parts let me know. Has power steering fuel injection and stainless exhaust which is in very good condition -thanks

Hi Jason, I must really get cracking and see what wood you have for the 280SE i asked about some time ago. I am replacing the front and back rubbers in the rear axle trailing arms on my 280SE 3.5 at the moment, I got a genunie MB replacement kit that included the small shafts that the rear rubbers work on and all the bits that go with them. Everything else on my car is preety much up to scratch

[NZJasonT]

I do have some dash wood available I’m in Blockhouse Bay where about’s are you?

Hi Jason, did pm you but did't get a reply. can you txt me on 0274996347 plse. Also looking for the outer chrome ring that surrounds the ignition key. This has three tabs that hold it onto the sahboard and the instriments have to be removed to get at it.

These are quite reasonably priced new, a used one normally breaks the tabs when being removed or being put back into the next car.
