Hello everyone,
new to the forum and new to Mercedes.
Picked up an auction car (2009 CLS550) for a steal.
I just love working on cars, so I am in the process of rebuilding her. Previous owner hit a deer in the front driver side.

I have already tackled the notorious trunk wire issue and got that fixed.

I am working on her in my spare time so may do a progress thread in the sub-forums.

just wanted to say hello!

cheers,
- Mark from SC
