This Mercedes was sitting for about 8 years before I bought it. I ended up getting running and driving great and started on a few upgrades. Some of the work included adjusting the valve clearance, installing larger injector nozzles as well as new injectors. I also replaced all of the fuel lines, all of the filters ,several gaskets, and then I started doing electrical repairs. I drove the car a few times after getting it daily ready and then the transmission went out! Haha. So I sold it to a guy who was going to pull the engine and put it in his Jeep Cherokee. It was a fun project I wish I could have gotten more use out of the vehicle though
