Great video! Keep it coming! As always, for people that are not scared of some hard work, this car is a bargain!

P.S.

i still won't go for a salvaged one

I bought a Salvage Cheap SL55 AMG, im doing / have done virtually everything youre doing there too ! Difference being tha in the UK our salty roads have seized most of what i come to to get anything apart, imagine not being able to get the inner rear arms undone to change Dampers, whole damn axle came out to unseize those puppies ,lol !

Oh , and to add a Proper Anti roll bar too .

Very nice presentation. 👍
Even that I’m hard core ABC fan I still enjoy watching your video. Informative and easy to follow.

Thanks for the support! I've always had bad luck with ABC and it was completely trashed on this particular car. I just enjoy the simple, problem free design of a traditional spring and strut!
