Replaced the windshield glass yesterday. I need to install the shorter H&R springs in the rear. I installed them in the front but thought changing the ride height in the rear with the adjusters would get it low enough.

G'day, popped over from the W211 forum to post this awesome 1985 560 SEC AMG Wide Body I saw today here in Narrandera, Australia.
Spoke to the owner for a bit. He's about 70yo and still gets the car out on the track for a run every now and then. Owns 5 MB vehicles including a sweet looking SL320 which I have seen parked in this location previously. His cars are definitely driven, not hidden. Told him i might be doing a hill climb shortly in my E55 and he said to let him know as he would be interested in bringing the 560 SEC along
enjoy!

Awesome car! Thanks for sharing, and I've never seen a WB in that color! Super rare.
Unfortunately I cringed at the ///AMG badge. Could you show him that I produce the proper period correct badge here:
I'd love to send him one and I ship world wide. PM me and we can exchange contact info.
Best regards,
