Bought this E320 from 1999 with 290.000 km. (180.000) for 7.000 kr. ($800) and I guess if I havent bought it it will eventually have gone to the eternal Autostrasse for Mercedes Benz cars

great job you are doing, especially doing it outside, you must get very cold, how long does it take for your fingers to go numb. what i would like to know is, where do you get the stands your car is resting on, I definately could do with a few of those as they seem to fit the rubber pads on the chassis and look very stable

For the jack stands then I made them myself easy to do some plate and a pipe about ψ200 mm. and two types of square bars that goes within each other drill some holes some welding and wupti you have some very stable jack stands . (pipe is not thicker than 2 mm. you can probably get some from a mill where they have corns and so .)
another type of jack stands that is VERY stable I also made you can see in my other build thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/sl55-amg-...ml#post5526734

do you have a job working in a machine shop, or do you have your own workshop, the tools you make yourself must save you a fortune, its great that you have knowledge to do everything yourself, and if you do'nt, you know where to look for it.

By now hopefully you have decided to open up a shop called "The Sweden 210 Shop" and have all of that business in Sweden. How about a vacation to Seattle! We can have a drinking, talking and working get together. I get dibs on either the drinking or talking segment.
You have done a great job and I hope that you get another 500,000km out of it.
