WELL KEPT. STILL 40 YEARS OLD. 🥂
A beautifully maintained W126 can still hide water leaks and corrosion beneath the surface. Age, climate and previous workmanship all leave their signature.
Today, we’re tackling rust and investigating leaks around the roof drainage, the bulkhead behind the battery and the boot. Inside the spare-wheel well? Standing water.
Forty years of executive presence. The swimming pool was never part of the specification.
Thailand brings heat, humidity and heavy rain. Colder climates bring their own challenges, including winter road salt. How a car was stored, maintained and modified matters enormously.
On this car, previous audio and A/C work are possible contributors we’re investigating. The exact causes need confirming before we call them.
Buying a classic? Inspect the drains, beneath the carpets, around the glass and inside the spare-wheel well. Check previous repairs and holes added for wiring, too.
At MVP Garage, preservation starts beneath the surface.
Find the leak. Address the rust. Restore the protection. Then refine the details.
