Blows my mind that Benz still makes all these parts even though it’s unlikely to be a profit center for them.. it’s probably a loss leader but they clearly value their history and legacy, just like Porsche..

That's restoration on another level, almost obsessive. You asked at the end "was it all worth it", my answer to that is absolutely

Yes Gary you are crazy. And thank God there are crazy people like you reviving old classics that deserve to live on. I absolutely love seeing old classic cars and bikes brand new again. I have had a very rare old classic for nearly 25 years that I plan to restore. Your video makes it a scary but achievable goal. Thankfully my old girl is still in good shape. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming!
