Talking CL55 Build/Fix/Modernization/Late to the party Thread

So, while the instrument cluster project is still going on (W216 build thread in my sig), I needed a bit of a break and decided to pick up a W215 as a side project before they dry up. Should provide enough issues to keep me busy eh . It's slim pickings and after seeing about 3-4 in person that were "sorted" according to the sellers (disasters waiting to happen), I decided to have a car shipped that had a verifiable service history, that was driven, albeit with some cosmetic problems. This should give people looking for one of these a good idea of what to expect.

This thread will document some of the mods that are being done to it. The longer detailed versions will be here as it's easier to post and maintain. However, I will keep summaries here for anyone interested in the process.

Pickup and quick fixes - tail light leaks, trunk stop light leak, rusted out trunk pump, window trim leaks etc.

Beginning of Interior Revamp - redo headliner, remove smelly and saggy materials from doors and other trim panels, redo them all with new stuff. New steering wheel, **** knob, 3D printed shift paddles. Vinyl wrapped wood trim. Fixed attachment points for various trim pieces with new 3D printed parts. Sneak peak at some of the ambient illumination pieces/LEDs. This will be a multi piece and pics will be up when it's all done. Lots of work here, getting everything re-wrapped, re-painted etc.
