Hey all...

Finally picked myself up another classic after I (regrettably) parted with my 76 F100 a while ago.

It's a 1966 Mercedes Benz 250s.

I bought it for a good price and am amazed at how good it actually is. it drives brand new. the problem so far is parking... seems to leave a nice little rainbow of coloured fluids where ever I've been. so that'll all be tendered to in the coming week.

What I need to find is parts, interior parts mainly. Original stereo, carpets, boot lining, the inner spot lights. All that sort of stuff.

I'm not planning on entering any concourse competitions so I don't need EXACT originals. Just parts to suit.

Does anyone on here know of any forums, or does anyone actually own one and be able to steer me in the right direction.

I don't have any plans for chopping the springs, fitting airbags, painting it matt black, getting some lebbo chrome wheels... I just want nice, original, classy, Merc.

there was a euro wreckers at northgate but he moved to stapylton.he did volvos and alfas etc and ive seen a few mercs there.not 100% sure but its worth a shot if he didnt have anything im sure he could steer you in the right direction.its called allans wrecking.good to see your not going to pimp it out to much.set of whitewalls will do it fine.a nice timeless look..

Thanks mate. There is a German wreckers near where I work in Moorooka. I just thought I'd try to find members with parts, or at least knowledge of a good supplier. When its due for new tyres I'm going straight to whitewalls.

yeah hope you find what your lookin for and at the right price.look forward to seeing it with the whitewalls!!!

Ive dealt with German wreckers in Moorooka...they go ok actually...

I've used them through work (I run a used car yard....***slicks greasy hair back***)

They've always been pretty good. :-) again though, after a member to give me some know how too. Knowledge is valuable too. lol

hey mate did you buy that of sam? any way give gulwing's a call thier on the coast and their realy good they mite be worth the drive.

Hey mate, Yeah I picked it up of young Sam. Good, honest kid.

I'll try gulwings... the main thing I'm chasing for the moment is King pins... can't seem to find them anywhere. :-(

Called Gullwings. he has what I'm after. You're a bloody legend mate.

Thanks for that!

There's a good Euro wreckers in Sumner Park - I believe they deal mostly in Beema's though.
Nice bunch of dudes, regularly deal with them.

Try MB Spares in Canberra they will have every part you need (02) 62391099 and have a look on www.ozbenz.net

also look on ebay theres heaps of parts on there for W108s

Thanks for the help guys. Everyones advice came in handy at some point.

Unfortunately, I've had my licence taken off me for a very....very long time. So my boy Blue is getting sold to a lucky new owner.

Car is for sale guys.

Cheers.
