As promised some photos of the car after completion of proper set up and all minor blemishes corrected including the good 'ol, "Well...and while you are in there..." items. I unequivocally can say this one now shares the top echelon of condition and care for the remaining W202 C43s in the country. This one is a keeper. Thank you all that helped me in this forum with your knowledge of comments. Look forward to a C43 meet. All the best and Happy Holidays to all.
Photo does not do justice to how the car finished. 39.6k miles of pure bliss. Car came out perfect.
Super cool! From one Florida 43 owner to another keep an eye on your windsheild drain in the passenger fender. We've had two 43's flood when it overflows in Florida rain. I'm down for a Florida 43 meetup too. Orlando to miami isn't too much of a drive!

Yes, unfortunately it was attached by screws. Who does that? The care was set for paint correction anyway so the same shop infilled the holes and repainted the trunk lid to match. They did an outstanding job of matching the paint and preserving the vin sticker behind the license plate area. Entire car's paint is now mirror shine with no flaws. As mentioned before, in my opinion, car is perfect as is probably the lowest mileage example that we know of at 39.6K. Proud to have had it returned to its original glory. This car will not get driven much as it shares seat time with the rest of my cars so I'll be lucky to put only a few thousand more miles within the next few years. I average about 500 miles a year per car outside of my Daily Driver SUV. which is not much, some of them get driven even less. I have extra tail lights with dimples if anyone is interested in an exchange for a cracked one. Just pay shipping.
By the way, was this the car in San Fran? The one with the huge McIntosh amp in the trunk? If so, it looked like quite the garage queen.
Yes. All that crazyness was removed by seller prior to my purchase. Car is 100% back to stock except for I went with 18”s and lowered and the head unit is a modern Jensen bluetooth etc. i was able to track down the original head unit from the original owner so have that too protected and stored.
Loving the finished product. After paint correction result. This is an image reflected off the rear passenger side door of a car parked next to it. Mirror finish.
